Let Me Introduce my Second Self


I'm no Mr. Universe; however, I do consider myself to be handsome. I like who I see in the mirror, but I did not want my avatar to look exactly like me. I wanted my avatar to be light skinned like me. I don't mind my height, but I do wish I was a little taller. That is why I wanted my avatar to have a tall frame. I keep my hair short because I cant keep up with the maintenance of long hair, so naturally my avatar has a full head of hair. I never shave my facial hair because the thought of razor bumps terrifies me, so I let the hair grow on my chin and face. My avatar has a beard. Sometimes when I take pictures with my digital camera the flash makes my eyes appear light brown. I love it when that happens. I am a fan of light eyes, so I chose my avatar's eyes to be aqua blue. When I was younger I use to wear perscription eyeglasses. I think eyeglasses make people look studious. That is why my avatar sports a cool set of specs over his aqua blue eyes. Midwest weather can be so unpredictable. That is one of the reasons why I cant wait to move to somewhere that is warm. I kept that in mind when I thought about the cloths for my avatar. My avatar has on khaki shorts, a long sleeve yellow shirt with a white short sleeve shirt over it. I like to think that my avatar has a beach boy look. Funny story: Last summer I took an online class with Dr. Carter. One day in class I decided to change my appearance. Something must have went wrong because I ended up looking like a girl and a boy at the same time. I had breasts and shapely legs. I was so embarrassed. I vowed not to change my avatar for a long time. And I haven't since then. I like the way my avatar looks and I don't see a reason to change the way he looks.
