Topic: Rituals, life changing, daily, weekly

Rituals, whether they are life changing, daily, or simply going to church, can be experienced in a virtual environment

When I first got to Info Island all I saw was landmarks. There was too many to count. I met up with Kirk mnemonic and Cuong mnemonic and we began looking around . First we went to Peace Park. After that we walked around the Obama Election Area. We then talked to the library assistant and took a picture with her. Finally, we stopped by the gay and lesbian area and took a picture with a monument there.

My avatars name is Connor Mnemonic. He has dark brown hair that goes down to his eyes. His eyes are light grey. He is wearing blue jeans that are not baggy but they are not very tight either. He is wearing and adidash shirt. The emblem is green. He is about 70 inches tall. He is not very large but he is not that small either. He is about average build.
I have changed some of the clothes my avatar is wearing. I changed his shirt and kept the jeans that were already on there. I changed his build a little and I changed the color of his eyes. At first I thought he looked a bit odd. The way the avatar stands seems a bit awkward.
I use the same appearance on my avatar every time I log in. It is a hassle to change how he looks because I am not very skilled yet in second life. I have not spent any money on my avatar yet. I just used some of the freebies. I have not yet been able to change the color of my avatars hair because I do not know how. I will learn how to do that though before too long.
