I was sitting around our house thinking of ideas for the design contest Jerremy and I have entered when I heard someone typing on a keyboard. I glanced into my office and saw a brand new player sitting at the chair behind my desk typing on the laptop. This struck me as being completely charming.
I watched her for a bit as she sat in all of the chairs and clicked on everything she could find. Eventually, she wandered out to where I was sitting. I greeted her and we talked for a while before she asked if she could look around some more. (I did explain to her that she should ask permission before going into any other homes.) After she discovered that if you click on the refrigerator you can get items of food, she ate a sandwich and had something to drink at the patio table.
She came back inside and admired the pictures on the wall, changed clothes and flew off into the wild blue yonder. She was sweet and I got a kick out of watching her try things out. I really hope she fills out the application for Starting Point that I passed to her. I think she'd enjoy living there. She gave me a little gift of making me remember the wonder of SL.

Thank you for the reminder Tym. I think we trend toward snickering about the way new folks dress and the silly mistakes they make too often. The wonder and excitement new people bring to the world is charming and hopefully when we help them it reminds us of why we love our virtual lives.
Sometimes I think I'm the only one who just doesn't care if new residents check my place out. Wander around, try my stuff. I don't care. Cute post Tymmerie... :)
