SandBox

Well, I was still practicing changing my appearance. Height, weight, etc... I went back to my Friend Elwood's place so I could use his garden again to unbox a few items I had in my inventory. LOL You know... that just wouldn't work in RL. Using your Neighbor's garden to change your clothes in ! LOL LOL

Anyways.. I was there changing and who happens to appear?? KeeKat ! :o)
He told me of places called SandBoxes where I could "play". I instantly saw the irony in that... a Cat telling me about a sandbox! LOL (no offense Kee!) He took me to one and showed me several very cool things.
A sandbox is where people go to learn and practice how to make THINGS here in SL. In the picture above... behind Kee and I, you will see a Flying Fish !! You can experiment with all kinds of things here. The biggest lesson Kee taught me was about Gestures. I now can do a BackFlip ! Woo Hoo... I surely cannot do that in RL ! But Gestures are another way to express yourself without having to TYPE/MESSAGE. Very cool.

I so enjoyed learning from Kee. He truely is a nice person. I was very pleased to meet his partner William!! (not to be confused with William and DarrenJames) William seems like a nice guy too. Sounds like he knows a lot about how SL works.

So, I have been playing a bit in the Sandbox. Trying out some new appearances. So far, what I have tried out, I haven't liked. I am learning about Shapes and Skins for my Avatar. So far, everything I have unboxed and tried on has been way too "big". I am not a big person in the RL, so to have a very tall/big Avatar just doesn't seem to reflect me. So, I will keep trying. But in all my unboxing, I have come across some cool clothing... so you can look forward to seeing me in different clothes !

For those of you who wanted to see me relax someplace other than the Beach... I did find this nice little ocean view. In a way, it reminds me of the hill top views that one can see of Lake Superior. You could almost smell the air and feel the mist upon your face.
This too was a very relaxing spot !

I will have to post several other places I have been. Like the StarTrek Museum, Ancient Egypt, Bohemia, Germany. I do need to make a date to get myself over to the Eiffel Tower!!
So, stay tuned for more of my Travels !
