My Avatar

The name of my Avatar is Mackenzie Cooljoke. I tried to keep my name Casey, or use my middle name, and be Casey Ann, but it seems that name is too popular! Since I could not keep my name I went with Mackenzie. I have always loved the name so I figured I would use it. I chose Cooljoke because I like the way the name sounds together.
I was only able to get into Second Life in class for a couple of minutes. I saw Mackenzie's body and could only wish it was mine! I have to figure out how to put on the clothes and everything so I am still very new to it all. Since I can't access Second Life at my house, I will have to wait to use a computer lab to dress Mackenzie up.
I like the idea of keeping the Second Life characters anonymous, this way everyone can feel free to express their thoughts, no matter what they might be, and not have to worry about anyone judging them based on their opinions.
I am very excited to work on my Avatar and see what Mackenzie will be capable of!

HI Casey,

Would you consider developing the following 2 thoughts some more?
1. What is it about the name that sounds cool together to you? (any literary devices used?!)

2. Why do you wish you had Mackenzie's body? What is it about that body that makes it so attractive?

I'll let you know what the others say about anonymity.
