On Thursday, the 25th of June, we celebrate my 18th rez day in Second Life. My SL avatar herself is now old enough to buy cigarettes and watch films with strong threat and frequent sexual references.
I couldn't possibly have been optimistic enough in 2008 to assume that SL would still be around in 18 years, would still be such a part of my life, or that some of the people who joined me on my journey in that first year would still be with me.
Things have changed a lot in that time, especially in the last few years; we've established a permanent home in York Manor and started consolidating a community around us, with those old friends and new ones. I know I mention this often, but York Manor is on land that was once the original Bondage Ranch and Bondage City (some time before my avatar's birth) and I like to think that we're bringing SL bondage back to its spiritual home. I have bigger plans that are only limited by free time and procrastination.
Thank you for being part of the journey
