I asked Abbie if she wanted to go dancing someplace. She said she was tired and ready to logoff. I said, well, I can at least get a goodnight kiss, can’t I?
Abbie dropped by “Aero’s Happy Place” in the Manitoba region of Second Life and asked,
A kiss or kiss your feet?
I got both. 🙂
I’ve worn many hats and tried on many identities as an avatar. I’ve been young and I’ve been old. Skinny and full-figured. Black and white. And red and green. A cheerleader and a derby girl. A barista and a host. I’ve seen so much love and beauty, so much desire, so much hunger for love and connection in the virtual world. I’ve seen that hunger and need expressed in unhelpful and destructive ways. Ways that can make living in this world as frustrating as living in the first life we came from. I’m touched by the tiny acts of kindness that surround us every day. If we can make it here, we can make it anywhere.
