George Jillybean

Originally, I signed up for YoVille and I was having problems logging in so I decided to swith to a different virtual world. Yoville also seemed too much like Mario Brothers and very cartoonish and everyone in class had been talking about Second Life so I decided to do the Second Life virtual world. Identity, gender, race, and ethnicity are all themes taking place in Second Life but I focused on sexuality.
To be honest, I was sitting around thinking about the journal last night and that is when I decided to switched to Second Life at around 9:30. I named my avatar George and I looked at about five last names that popped up and went with Jillybean. I thought George Jillybean had a good ring to it and sounded original. I decided to make George a black man because I thought I could come up with some good information. George wore a black suit with a green shirt and tie and I also gave him puffy green hair and a green goatee. I don’t know why I made George look this certain way but I thought it was unique.
When I finally was ready to enter the virtual world, I chose Avatar Island because I thought sex would be a big theme. Somehow, I ended up in a space ship looking building with large circular rooms. I was all by myself and one guy with a mask and cape named Icky Ixtar asked to be his friend so I accepted. I realized right there that I wanted George to meet some ladies because I wanted to see the crazy stuff that goes on in Second Life so I asked Icky Ixtar where I could meet some people and he teleported me to his place. I would have never thought that I was going to end up in a Thundercatz themed room. At first I didn’t know what do so I was walking around and flying around and looking at everything. After a few minutes someone started chatting on the wall and I jumped in and just said “what’s up” and asked if there was a dance club because I didn’t see many people doing anything and someone said something like “ yeah, you see people dancing don’t you” and that pissed me off but I didn’t want to say anything mean. Then I eventually realized there were female dancers on little platforms so I decided to make my way towards one of them. Surprisingly the woman danced like a stripper and I said something on the message board like “you look good, hey you want to get out of here” and I think she said something like “maybe some other time”. After that, I looked at the message board and someone began to write comments about the stripper rubbing herself and I guess that gets people aroused but I didn’t really care for it. Then I saw a dark skinned woman who looked good for an avatar hanging out by herself named Abril Spad, and I thought to myself George and Abril would look good together. Abril didn’t seem to care for George and only spoke Spanish which became tiring after a while. After about 15 to 20 minutes I saw a good looking white blonde haired woman dancing named Lollypop Bloobury and decided to talk to her and the conversation didn’t last very long and she asked me If I was new and I said yes and she asked me where I was from and that kind of worried me so I just said the Midwest. I was on Second life for about two hours and it was actually kind of fun. Surprisingly, most of the avatars I met were nice and I guess enjoy their virtual world. Using sexuality as my main theme worked out good because the place I visited seemed to focus completely on sex. Afterwards, I thought to myself that I was trying to make George smooth but after thinking about all of the crazy things being said, I should have cut loose even more.
