1. When friendliness gets mistaken for flirting

   Ah yes...of course, its my name so its my fault.

2. What was your style of play when you were a child? And does that relate to how you present yourself in Second Life?

   I was reading words by age 3 and books by age 4. I was shocked to discover that the words in the books didn't change when you closed and opened them again. Dad had been reading from the same book for ages, telling me a different story each time. When my parents took me to pre-school, I threw a massive tantrum because the teacher read to all the kids and wouldn't let ME read the book myself. "Maddy, you aren't old enough to read yet." "YES I AM!!!" I apparently traumatized the teacher, which led to my being home schooled. I've been throwing tantrums ever since. They work!

3. Theatre, Play, and Deception in SL, Which, When, and Why?

   Well hey, three pages, pretty good, right? I didn't expect the thread to make it this far. I'm still proud of you all.

4. A question on furries

   Apparently I have been invited to vastly different Furry hangouts than you have.. But, most Furry places are very clearly marked as being furry places, even if Yiffing doesn't happen there.

5. What was your style of play when you were a child? And does that relate to how you present yourself in Second Life?

   I didn't have a lot of toys growing up. Just enough to fill a grocery bag I guess. It was all make believe stuff and making my toys talk to each other. I played in the backyard a lot with the sand, mud, water and whatever plants were growing. I once chopped up some hot peppers and then rubbed it on my face by accident. I drew a lot. That was my smartphone back then, any blank sheet of paper and a pen or pencil. That is what I think SL is to me. Not a game where everything is given to you but an empty online world to fill with my imagination.
