The two avatars that took me shopping invited me to sail on a boat they found.  They teleported me to the water and I had to fly up and somehow land/sit on the boat.  This was very challenging for me.  I ended up falling into the water about 4x before I could sit on the boat.  They pretended that there were sharks in the ocean and I actually found myself looking for sharks when all along that was just a joke.  We ended up sailing and realized that the boat was made for 2 people!  So the female avatar ended up sitting engulfed in the male avatar.  I ended up taking a picture of this because it was too weird.  There was also jokes that were being made about it as if these things were actually happening.  After sailing for a bit we ended up finding land.  The place we found was incredible.  A place to hang out and sit.  Apparently the person that owned the land made sailboats and the male avatar wanted to buy one.  He ended up finding out that the guy who made the boats had been on SL since I want to say 2003 and that was a big deal for both him and the female avatar.  They were looking up stats somewhere and finding out about the guy and the boats he sells.  

I ended up sitting on some pillows and then the other two avatars were “cuddling.”  I actually felt myself thinking that I was the 3rd wheel for a second.  It was so strange.  We all talked and then I decided to leave because I got tired.  There is only so much time I could spend on second life sailing and sitting down.  It was a fun experience though…the experiences seem to become more complicated for me in terms of analyzing interactions and comparing them to the beginning…It’s nice that I have met these two avatars.  They dance together, hang out around 2nd life together, and have somehow invited me into their circle.  Hanging out with other avatars is something that I am enjoying…it has definitely made me learn a lot more about the program and possibilities for research.

Observation of the day:  In 2nd Life avatars have a lot of energy…I have less energy…
