Hey, cats and kittens. How many of you folks have Second Life accounts, or have considered getting one? I've had one for ages, but I rarely used it. However, as of yesterday, 
cereselle and I have set up a group and bought land. Elle is actually building us this fantastic, marble clubhouse. I'm awestruck, really. Now that it's possible to actually build things to one's exact specifications in a virtual world, it's kinda of like that magnificent future they've always promised us has arrived...
Anyway, our group is called the Diodati Society. If you want an invitation, let us know, and you're as good as joined up. We're having fun with the building aspects right now, and if we can purchase more land (which is easier with the help of more folks) we might try to set up a quaint, Addams Family type house somewhere, complete with monsters in the basement, etc. We can throw little salons and shindigs! It'll be a blast.
BTW, my SL name is Candace Bethune, andcereselle is Ceres Eilde. If you decide to create an account, naming her as the person who referred you benefits the group. Just FYI.

*goes back to learn more about building*
Also? I was looking around at prefabs this morning for about 10 miutes (not much time) but I found some inCREDible places! Even if only for building inspiration, you should search for (let's see if I can remember correctly) AE Industries Pre-fab alley. Something like that. Check out their Gothic Pride Castle! Leik Woah! I think some other ones might be even cooler! And I think they are fully modifiable, so if we ever get a really big chunk of land, we could maybe buy one and then go to town making it our own.
Or not. But they are big fun to look at! *smooch*
I know if I spent any real amount of time there I'd be with the groups causing problems. Mmmmm, Snow Crash. Still like to know how they made a nuke.
And, yeah, the Snow Crash parallel is one of the reasons I like it!
I have a Second Life account I'm experimenting with. (I can't seem to get rid of my ponytails and make myself anything other than brunette.)
I would love to join you guys so you can teach me how to use it. I'm actually working on a work project that involves Second Life.
Thanks for the invite!

Also, you can purchase hairstyles all over the place. They're usually pretty cheap. Can you tell me your user name in SL?
Good to hear from you!
so, what is Second Life, and why should I take the time to try it out? Besides all the gothic goodness that Im hearing, that is... :)
give me a quick synopis and a link, please!
Here's the main site: http://www.secondlife.com/
There's much info there. For my part, I can only say that I'd love to get to hang out with you more, and this might be one (albeit limited) way to do it! Plus, you could maybe meet some of our cool out-of-town friends who rarely make it to the mid-atlantic area.
It just crashes and burns on program launch.
