Well it could be any avatar but the jist of this thread is to ask how about how we really appear to others. And how we THINK we appear to others.

See, I've done a few things here. Manily to raise my state of being "me" to a level I understand in real. So I put myself out for men. And learnt I am easy to get along with but it's hard to get respect. The more I tried and gave myself to others, the harder it became to get thier attention in a serious way. In that sense, sl is rl with little difference.

Has anything like that happened to you?

I have found I am really happy with a bloke who is super-intelligent but earthy. Maybe that is me also. But in real, it's hard to find those kinda men. they're usually angst ridden about Jesus or morals or something and so they're not earthy enough. My sl partner give me tons of freedom and loves to hear about my adventures.

Have you found that potential partners are really similar to reality?

I think I look pretty close to my reality - not a devastating beauty but good-looking in a left-school, had a life-kindaway. Not the thinking man's bit of crumpet (as Hal would say) but the thoughtful man's piece of tart. So I'm not surprised at that - coz it's me.

Are you surprised at how you've turned out?

So becoming Jig - as I stand back and not computer-graphicked yet - I see my faults clearly but also my "me" - not a bad avatar. Done my growing up, easily tempted, a fool for men; I've got a long way to go yet before Jig reaches her full potential.

What about you?

lol that's what I was wondering....

my avatar hasn't taught me anything about myself I didn't already know... but she has made it obvious for a lot more people than before (I'm geeky, shy, and random... pretty much in that order)

Should the title read "Consciousness Raising" instead of "Conscience Raising"?

Nope.
I meant conscience.
I decided against consciousness coz its apprant from the fact we can afford computers and live such middle class wealth lives we dont need our consciousness raising - we need our consciences raising,

I need mine raising. Don't you?

Two weeks away and I just wonder - arent any of you really surprised at how your avatars have turned out?
I look at myself and see "me" in an avatar-way but ... well, maybe the idea is that I should look a little more to the sides and focus on what's ahead. Hard to put into words exactly.
I'm gonna think more closely about it. It's a question, I suppose more to do with the imagination and symbiotic relationship we each have with our avatars.
Bit liek Neumann's Game Theory in a way - kinda got me thinking. In this case is this a game? With a fixed set of values and a predicatble outcome?
Never mind.
Anyway, I didnt post haphazardlly. I was just working something out for myself and thought you might be interested. Cos this place is so brill, I'm not so sure I should go bac
k in - and prolly wouldnt if it wasn't for Hal.

Vaguely surprised - I don't really have time to analyse much. I came here for a second life and ended up with a second job.

Are you surprised at how you've turned out?

Let's see...goofy-esque? Check. Try to be polite? Check. Laugh when I can? Check. Can be too literal and or serious at the most unlikely times? Check. Hate being tied down? CHECK!

Looks? A chameleon in both lives, check.

No surprises there.

From: Jig Chippewa

What about you?

As for the rest of how I turned out, I have discovered something quite interesting. How people perceive me has a lot to do with them.

Examples of some descriptions by people who know me well in 2l: Cynical and too quick to throw your toys out of the pram...reasonable...one of the kindest and funniest people I know...the Wicked Witch of the Place...Lawles, always looking for new and extravagant fun...In desperate need of socializing...our vagabond with multimilliondollar ships...the Ice Queen...SCRUFFY!

What's a girl to do? I dunno
