I was lucky to meet a girl who asked me on a date. We tried out couple-animations and chatted over text for a while. It felt quite good and intimate.

Then I was talking to another girl teaching her how to play this game then the first girl comes and asks if I’m cheating on her xD
It was quite fun having things like that happen.

Well I never saw her again but that experience changed my view on second life.

I wanted to congratulate you.
Pearls befor swine?
Might be.
Journalism done in your undies while downing cider.
An interesting angle.
But the.., who would know..Nobody sees you behind your pc, in your own home.
No..
Unless you publish your picture on the internet of course..
Or pretend to..
But who would do that?

I am waiting for the article in which the author will be visiting World of Darkness, while wearing his undies on his head, one of his ying/yang-socks used elsewhere(to keep the accompanying photo passable for ‘safe’ internet searches) , dangling from the ceiling and snorting Heineken from a bottle.
Heineken?
What am I saying?
Make that Jack Daniels.

The skills Mrs. DifficultyWithEnglish referred to are the bread and butter of the Second Life experience, content creation.

They are separated into four categories:

Building
Scripting
Texturing
Animating

That is making objects, making those objects intractable, making images to apply to make those objects look better, and making animations to have your avatar ( probably much more naturally ) move and interact properly with the environment.

Sadly making it to a school or new player centric environment to learn these skills is hit and miss at best.

Your woman dancing is a known bug, which had you found your way to a school any of a number of people could have helped you with :) you simply teleported before stopping your animation.

If you ever bump into Second life again, strike up a discussion, drink a little cider, and decide a second date might be a good idea at the time, look up a school or new player organization.

Builders Brewery and New Citizens Inc. both come to mind.
