After entering the site at http://secondlife.com/ and deciding to join the community; the experience of second life begins by first entering your real life information. The act of creating a character begins with you naming yourself, finally a universe in which your parents are not capable of burdening you with a label you dislike. After picking a first name, a list of 40 randomly selected last names appears for you to choose from. I am curious if this list is something similar to what immigrants would have experienced when moving to North America hundred of years ago, being told that your current last name is not acceptable in the new world is somewhat shocking, but acceptable in creating a new life, or second chance at life for that matter. I feel a strange connection to a person being placed in the witness protection program and after roughly ten minutes I finally select a name.
It’s nice to meet you world my name is “Kaleena Charisma.”
