Do I want to post this? I sort of can’t resist because sometimes people make you laugh, and not because they’re funny.
Generally at night my time, when I’m getting dinner and relaxing before bed, I’ll log in to SL. Most of my SL friends are scattered all around the world and it’s unusual for me to find someone I know online at night, so I’ll run to a social place and plonk on a sit and hope for some casual conversation with someone interesting. But this is SL, and there are some really strange people…
Tonight, a girl IM’d me and complemented me on my looks, and as she was looking fine too, I returned the complement and made a casual joke about tattoo removal being easy in SL. To each their own however, if you love your tattoos, knock yourself out.
It turns out that this girl had some serious issues, as she’s apparently Maori (although her avi was as white as mine) and took offense when I mentioned her tatts. Apparently, she dislikes the English (to put it mildly), with one of her picks literally saying “f*ck off back to England”.
The funniest thing was she’d apparently looked in my picks too, and noticed Eden, and ended the conversation by calling it “the most cliquey girls club in SL” before bailing out of the region. Trying to hand her an apostrophe, I discovered she’d blocked me, with a vulgarly worded block message. Perhaps she should have read my pick about being the tech girl for Eden… as I log every visitor, and she’d never even been to the club.
As each of her picks ended with “SL = Shit Life”, I wonder what she gets out of Second Life at all…
