Being
crazy isn't enough.
Dr.
Seuss
A thought came to me the other
day.
(This is normally where
Significant Other starts to look worried.)
During
my time in Second Life (SL), I’ve met many people who are there for many
reasons and there to do many things.
Some of these things are a
little crazy. OK, a lot crazy in some
cases.
(See where I’m going with
this?)
This all got me thinking about
what’s the craziest thing we’ve ever done inworld?
First, a definition, what is
crazy?
(I’ll ignore Significant Other’s
suggestion for the moment.)
Like art, I know crazy when I
see it.
As most people probably do
whether in SL or in Real Life (RL).
The corollary of that being
everyone pretty much has their own definition of crazy.
(Can you tell that I almost
failed Logic at university?)
Let me share a few examples of
what people inworld have told me they consider as doing crazy things inworld
when I’ve asked.
Let’s start with the
ordinary.
This includes activities like
hot air ballooning, paragliding, horseback (or dragonback riding), and role
playing.
Get the picture?
These are all things that we’d
do in RL but for things like time, money, health, dragons don’t exist, and
similar limitations. We might not be
able to do them in RL but we wouldn’t be embarrassed to talk about them with RL
friends and family. (Well, maybe we
wouldn’t bring up the dragon.)
Next up are the not so
ordinary activities that we do when asked about the craziest thing we’ve done
inworld.
Not surprisingly, these are
usually sexual in nature.
(What you’re surprised? You should go
back and read my earlier stories.)
They start usually with
visiting nudist resorts inworld, move onto experiencing sex in any number of
different ways, BDSM, gender reversal, and I’m sure I’ve missed a few long the
way.
This is where folks generally
really explore both themselves and all that SL has to offer here.
Generally, folks wouldn’t
dream of doing these things in RL or even talk about them with others. Although, I’ve met a few uninhibited souls
who do.
What about you?
What’s the craziest thing you’ve
ever done in SL?
Would you tell us about it?
You can stay anonymous if you
wish!
Drop me a line and I’ll share
your stories with my three loyal readers.
(All of whom assure that they only live vicariously through my blog.)
Oh, what about me you say?
Probably running around nude
inworld.
Of course, I only do it for
professional reasons to get the stories my three loyal readers enjoy.
OK, there are a few other
things that Significant Other would rather I not divulge despite Significant
Other’s enjoying while shoulder surfing.
(Significant Other glares.)
Maybe next time!
As always, I’m grateful to all
inworld for their kindness and time in stopping to talk with a stranger who was
passing through their lives.
