Please share anything else you would like VEJ readers to know about you and your Avatar(s). I know people think at first glance that having different avatars can be strange and a little weird, but behind each avatar is a person just like you regardless of how they choose to represent themselves. When I am picking an avatar in second life, I take everything into consideration and emulate how I feel that day – it’s a great indication of the mood I am in. And, I don't pick things at random. Everything has a deliberate reason for it. Though that is just me, it doesn't mean you have to do the same. Whatever the reason is for you to join virtual worlds or any other online environment, know that there are real people behind each avatar and username. They all have real feelings and lives. There isn't any reason to be mean or to judge others based on appearance alone. If you stop and talk with them, you will probably discover you have more in common than you think. Please list your contact information -‐ the best way for us to reach you. vgiannoutsos@gmail.com , (RL) Vasili Giannoutsos, (SL) Bluebarker Lowtide
