Well. It's been quite an interesting experience, coming back to SL after so long. And it's not like I was around much first time round either, so while I may have more experience than the average newbie, I still do feel very much like a newbie.

In case you don't know, I was encouraged back by my friend Karl Herber. Ironically it was ME who introduced HIM to SL originally; he stayed, I didn't. Maybe this time it'll be different.

I've done much better this time with customising my avatar; although I initially intended to do it all by freebies, I've relented, and bought US$10 worth of Lindens. Most of that I've spent on skins and hair.

Speaking of hair, I visited the Hair Fair today (Lag Hell) and after trying on a million demos, I ended up buying this one (as shown in my avatar) from Laqroki. I've found it difficult finding hair of the right shade of red (namely, very light and bright coppery-ginger), and often I've found styles I like but in naff colours. This one though, is just right. Its shoulder length and shaggy, a bit curly, and moves really well, looks very natural. Don't tell anyone that I bought it from the women's section. Shhh.
