The thing I would miss the most is not having opposable thumbs. That would make my daily life a bit more challenging.
That falls under the "to avoid to much drama you're competant to get about, you can talk and write somehow if your avatar happens to be something really odd..." clause.
From: Key MacMoragh
Personally, the first three things I'd try would be flying, teleporting, and camera controls.
Those fail under the "You don't have any special vampire powers or whatever, and you're not a cartoon character" clause.

I hope this is not naive or stupid of me to ask, but...

Why would someone see a priest?
Or a psychologist, Forum leader, higher OT level advisor, whoever you go to for advice and exorcism...

First thing I would do is play the song I'm too sexy for myself. Then, hopefully if my sl partner wakes up to next to me, then we can try all those aerobic movements on some the poseballs. AND I would also sign up to be on Dancing With THE Stars. No need to rehearsal because my avie is perfect.

Me, I'd do the happy dance of not having to wear glasses.. unless I want to :)

Plus, a few pounds lighter, bit taller and well.. yeah, she's kinda enough like me that I probably wouldn't notice until I realized I could SEE without the glasses.

Now my husband.. he'd be in for a big surprise, waking up as girl. Which, he might not notice until he went to the bathroom and realized peeing while standing up doesn't work for the ladies.

OK, after all these questions about your avatar, your avatar's gender, your avatar's sex life... let's turn it about.

Tomorrow morning you wake up and you look like a realistic version of your avatar (if tyou have more than one... your main avatar, or the one you most feel repesents you, or the one you think's safest, you pick). You don't have any special vampire powers or whatever, and you're not a cartoon character, but to avoid to much drama you're competant to get about, you can talk and write somehow if your avatar happens to be something really odd...

What do you do?

Cannot answer. I do not have a "main avatar" or one that I feel represents.

And no special powers, not a cartoon character? Can talk and write?

My "main avatar" would involve being a shapeshifter, as I shapeshift/avatar shift to often. So, as a raccoon, or a cat, or whatever, I'll wander around. Sit back on my hind legs on a city street, stretch out my paw and ask in clear understandable English "Can you spare a small mouse, or other food product, kind stranger?"

Unfortunately, I'll be in Moscow at the time, but that's the breaks.

Stare at my horns stupidly, wondering what I'm going to do now.

And the wings and the tail . . . well, you are a succubus so you can get life energy and, for that matter, longer life by sucking the life out of humans. And you can fly, as you have the wings. And you can slap people with your tail. Or use it to "accidently" raise up the skirts of those around you.

Oh! And you can lower your head and run fast into people, ramming them with your horns!

I put most of that in to control myself. I have "multiple body disorder" as a tag line for a reason. I'm still trying to decide which of my 300-odd avatars I'd pick.

You're not "an SL avatar", you're a realistic version of your SL avatar. For example, if you had designed your avatar to look exactly like yourself, then nothing would change.

I need to edit that first message to make this clearer. :p

Ummm - see this part of the OP:

From: Argent Stonecutter
You are not "an SL avatar", you can't lift your arms and fly, you don't have an infinite wardrobe, you don't have embarrassing hair, you're just whatever your avatar is supposed to look like, in reality. If you designed your avatar to look exactly like yourself, you would notice no change.

Well, that depends, if their SL avatar has wings... but see Poul Anderson's "People of the Wind" stories for what it would take to get a human-scale flyer to actually work. ^^

Yes, you can fly, but you have to eat about 10 Big Macs an hour to supply the fuel. :)

On another subject, still 0 votes for a plastic surgeon.

Overall, this would be a horrible wakeup call to those guys who use female avatars. Imagine the poor sots learning about the female cycles (the hard way) and having to buy feminine hygiene products!

If they're lucky, they'll have forgiving female partners.

Habitually going into the men's room will stop with the first guy to hit on the "her." If it doesn't, trying to aim into the urinal will give new meaning to gymnastics or awkwardness.

Huh, just makes me very glad that I didn't give Raudf a tiny waist and huge boobs.

That's who the "OB-Gyn" option was really for. :)

I was expecting to see more hits there, actually...

You see, you're assuming that they know what an OB-Gyn is for ;) *

I imagine them winding up in the emergency room in a panic about it first.


* No, I realize most men do know what an OB-Gyn is for. This would be for the really clueless/sheltered. Actually, I imagine many men would be a tad bit embarrassed at the thought of going to one, though. Especially a male OB-Gyn!

Of course we know what an OB-Gyn is for! to "...practice their, their...love...with the women of this great nation". So says our future ex-Pres...so shall it be. :D

And...if I had to get my flight physicals from a female flight surgeon...let's just say, I have *no* sympathy...loads of empathy...no sympathy ;)
