My first blog lol
So, after being in SL for 10 months now, Ive decided to take up blogging. Don't know how often I will blog, but here I am.
A little about me and my SL journey so far, I rejoined SL back in June of 2009, I had an old login a couple years back, but never really got into, so I left. One day I just decided I would up and rejoin. Created my Avatar and ventured into world. It wasn't long before I made some friends and started exploring the world. I soon found myself in a strip club called "Hooters & Shooters". I quickly made new friends here and started becoming a regular. I would rush home after RL work and make my way to Hooters to hang out with my new friends, then after the night's event I would explore what else SL had to offer, with friends occasionally, but mostly by myself.
After a couple of months, I met the requirements, got myself a "new skin, shape and AO" with help from friends and I put my application in to be a dancer at Hooters. I was nervous, but got my chance in way of an Interview. It was a Friday night after the late event, I was nervous. I got into the club and it was time for the interview before I knew it. First, came the questions, which were tough, so I came up with the best answers I could think of. Then, came the "try-out", a simulated event run by the Admin staff, they threw all sorts of weird and odd situations at us (me and 2 other applicants). I made my way through and did the best I could think of. After our simulated event and a few words from the Admins, I was hired. Here I was with a new tag "H&S Dancer". With a night to think of how it would be being a "dancer/stripper" I was excited and nervous. Saturday night comes and it's time for the first event, the call for dancers goes out and excited to start I answered it. But, adding to my nervousness there is only one other reponse from the dancers. The event starts and Im nervous and excited all at the same time, I get my first tip and it's "showtime". I rush through my typing and come up with my "emote" and low and behold it's a good one, YAY! The rest of the event goes very well, with generous tips from the VIP's being encouraged by the DJ to get me, the "new guy" naked and well before the end of the event, I was naked, WOOT! What a fun and exciting night, my nerves have eased and Ive had a great time.
That was 8 months ago now that I first started dancing. Since then I have now become a host at another club and really enjoy that as well.
Over this time I have also found myself going through 2 serious relationships, both ladies I am still very good friends with and frequently turn to them when I need a good friend to talk to. Ive made some really good friends on SL that I don't know what I would do without, they are always there when I need a smile or some advice.
Now, I am finding myself at a crossroads in SL so to speak. I just recently split from my 2nd partner. I am no longer sure if I want to be a dancer any more. Part of me wants more from SL, but I am not sure what. I dont know much about building or scripts. Ive always just worked with people. So, I find myself torn with what to do with myself.
Time to take it easy I guess, enjoy what SL has to offer and see where it takes me....
