So..my journey continues...
I first went to this Philosophy Island...wasn't expecting much..but I did join in the group discussion which was about laws..They were talking about how certain laws appear crazy..like banning alcohol in certain areas of certain countries.... (no countries were mentioned) It didn't make sense to some of them cos it just goes against common sense... n then that led on to how society has regressed (which was where the
philosophy part emerged)...it was quite interesting...
The Second Place I went to was an English Pub...Can anyone see the Queen's picture? This was epic...why? Three different people...all from 3 different areas of the UK and all 3 had different accents.They were on voice-chat. One of them didn't even recognize the accent...Initially I just stood there listening when suddenly a female asks me which part of UK i come from...she just assumed!! And unknown to me I replied that I hailed from Leicestershire (my aunt lives there) and all this was done with an english accent that I didn't know I possessed... Thought a lot about why I did that...
The Third Place I went to was another english-associated place. I was looking for english language schools but I ended up in all these other places instead... Nothing caught my eye...except a dead body...can you see? apparently avs CAN die...but this guy kept getting up n then lying dead again...so I'm not sure. It was pretty funny cos the rest of them were trying to guess how he could have died... oh well...the mystery never got solved...The adventures will continue next week!! Stay tuned...
The End...
Hi Devi,
ReplyDeleteInteresting adventures! I'm particularly intrigued with how people can create different identities in SL (a local form Leicestershire, hehe ;p;p) because of anonymity. We can take up any identity for ourselves through our avatars and it's funny that we tend to construct our identity according to the contexts or environments in SL in order to 'fit in'.
Therefore, in my humble opinion, identity is fluid & everyone has multiple identities which are subject to change to suit the needs to 'fit in' or 'be accepted' in different situations.
Thanks for giving me a space to ramble on with my crazy thoughts :-)
Cheers
Albie
