When I got the idea of doing an SL Profile blog, one of the first places to look for interesting people was the old Welcome Area. This isually is a place for looneys and people to flirt. While walking around I noticed a decently clad girl with april in her hair.

Hi Kate, what makes you a welcome area regular?
cause i come here a lot
that figures, but what is it in this place that makes it fun for you?
well some of my mates hang here
thats the only reason lol
so that's why you're sitting on the side, seeing your friends have fun?
nope i am in photoshop
and IM
and MSN
a true multitasking woman then ;)
lol
I sometimes dress alternative but i was feeling quiet today lol
well, that's what attracted me in you today. Just a decent girl with lovely hair in a place like this
Well sometimes i wear tats and converse and jeans lol
but feeling kinda like i wanted to be alone today so thought best way to do my shit and not be noticed!
so you'd like to be alone and still you sit down in dead center pickup zone?
yes simply becasuse:
I met my husband in sl
2 years ago
and moved to the US from the UK
Its nice to be around people
just new to US so meeting new people takes time
even in the computer sence

so you haven't got many RL friends yet?
oh i have a few:))) actually really good ones BUT........I also like being alone too
you see
its hard to be alone on sl
even when you have your busy tag on
people want a part of you
i have over 200 friends on here and am a Linden Live Helper
but sometimes we all want quiet
but also to see others around you:)
Normally i would be up there with the lot on my right today nah

What do you usually do on SL?
i help a lot of newbies on here
to learn to build
make clothing in PS

I was doing an article on campers in Second Life for the MindBlizzard blog and talked to a few of these people. During one of these coversations the idea grew to publish this in a new blog, not aimed at the business side of Second Life as the MindBlizzard blog is, but more on the personal side of virtual life. Thus the SL Profiles blog was born.

How many hours do you spend on SL every week?
Not much, I think about two hours a day, but not really actively
