3. There is a rudeness in the virtual world that can sometimes get to one. Some people are looking for something specific and will break into a conversation, or into ones activity at the time if alone, ask pointed questions and then leave abruptly once they find out this is not the place to find what they are seeking. Normally we brush it off but once in a while it has an after-effect. Looking more closely these are times one is alone and times when one is “in character”, i.e. deeply involved in the role. What a good way to become more sensitized to other people’s pain! Avatar-awareness or maybe just avatarness.
2. I dreamed as my avatar last night. There were a series of contests and my avatar would be out in front at the beginning but then fall into the middle of the pack by the end. I was unable to figure out exactly why that happened but also I was not very concerned about it. I was content to be sort of hidden in the middle of the pack.
1.Missed a day yesterday. I got angry about the external chaos in my life and stayed angry into the evening. I was surprised that it felt good. Maybe I needed some release or maybe I am just tired.
What an interesting word “avatarness.” Hm
