Greenies in Second Life

As most of you know, Second Life isn’t all about studying and taking classes. So since today was Friday and the weather outside was not so inviting, I opted against walking down to the corner pub for happy hour. Instead, I did a little long distance traveling for parts uncharted and visited the Greenie home.

Upon teleporting to the Greenie home, I found I had to dig my way out of a dirty tunnel. I emerged into a charming room where I sat down and played the grand piano for a bit. Then I saw the door at the other end of the house was open and walked through. I was in a land of giants, with little greenies all over the place, listening to iPods bigger than themselves, checking the batteries in their space ship and one even flattened on the business end of an iron.

I realized I had been playing the piano in a doll house within a normal size dwelling. Somehow, I had been shrunk a la Alice to the size of tiny Greenies who had invaded this suburban home! Well, needless to say, I was a bit concerned. But my fears were soon forgotten when I saw a happy hour dance party in progress. The hard partying Greenies and their entourage were grooving to jazzy tunes stolen from a Pink Panther movie. Greenies and humans alike hailed me cheerily and invited me to join them.

Fortunately, I was appropriately dressed for a party in my little black cocktail dress. It may not be easy being green, but it sure is fun!
