Not-a-meme Challenge #10 - Answer

Here I am again dashing an answer in under the wire! Pretty bad when I'm the one who asked the question! :D

In Sept of 2005 I found an article on MSNBC about a virtual community that was raising money for Katrina victems. How cool is that I thought! So I googled the website and did some reading. I can remember IMing my dear friend known in world as Kethry Farina and saying that it looked interesting, sort of a mix of The Sims Online (Which I couldn't afford), and Animal Crossing (No didn't mean Furries lol).

I really had no clue what I was wandering into...

I have an IRC background, some forums, and a smidge of Palace. I don't really play other virtual world games(other then the sims which I seem to have stopped playing heheh) so all of this was very new to me and very exciting. I felt very overwelmed by what I saw and never thought I would be able to create the wonderful things I saw. It took me 6 months... no not to learn I picked that up rather quickly just needed the confidence to try.

Second Life is not at all like the sims or animal crossing, it has exceeded everything I thought it would or could be for me.
