Well, I got involved as soon as the closed beta finished. I had read, watched and taken in everything that there was availible in the media about it. When it launched at midnight (ish) it took a few HOURS of trying to get a connection through, but I finialy got in, and was still blown away by it regardless of all I had seen on the net previous.

I must say though, after spending about an hour creating my avi in my image and suiting him up in the only availible clothes, I stepped out into the virtual wild to be told nearly INSTANTLY that I looked gay!!! I never really expected it, and it was the first time in my life I’d ever been in a place like Home, so I was quite shocked and angered by this. But then, it’s not like birds are told how to fly before they’re pushed out the nest is it?

I kept going in regardless during the months that follwed and refused to be put off by the rudeness of some *most* people because I found that if you have enough patientce and dig deep enough, there were people in there that had the same vision of Home as I did. As time has past and Sony have found ways of policing Home, the rudeness has been reduced a fair bit and over the last few years I have found friends in Home that (much like Amanda above me) have become pillars of my life that I wouldn’t ever want to be without.

So thank you in particular to Sari, Muz, Bella, Jim and Snap for making Home what it is to me. Big thanks to all the other Homies on my list that have helped with tips and info, and I a little prayer that Sony NEVER shut off their servers!!!

I started on Home a bit over a year ago. I don’t remember when exactly. Before ever going online, I installed a 500 gig HDD to my PS3. Since I had more space than I was ever gonna use, I decided to download every free option on the PS3. I understood what Home was from the explanation but never did any research on it, so it was entirely new to me. After being on the PSN for about a month or two, I finally downloaded the Home icon and got started; been on ever since.

Thanks! I totally forgot about the August Contest due to Graphic Arts Projects here and there. I’ll Update the post and announce the winners. I guess I shall Make an October Edition (around the end of September) since I feel Its a tad bit to late for September since this months is a very busy month for me.

I was astonished how I had time to type this post, =]. It’s good to be back (Sort of), If any one asks for me on Home tell them “I’m coming home” soon after I pay this release form for a repair shop that I took my PS3 at, and then I’ll be up and running in a Giffy.

Hello my name is Amanda and I discovered home back in February of 2009. Believe it or not home and and some of the greatest friends have been getting me through a really rough time. Back in 2010 I found out my husband had cheating on me and left me for another woman. I had some really awesome friends Punkstitch Teona1 Xavier-4 and Suckonmynine who have stood by me through the pain and heartache I have adorned
I have had one person as well take advantage of my situation and use me. But I also met and fell in love with another man aka meanbrd94 who has taught me how to love and again fully. We met met in February of 2010 and have been talking ever since. He himself had adorned a lot of heartache from past relationships and we just seemed to fit like a puzzle and clicked. I have made awhile lot more friends through meanbrd94 jahoe kittyk8 and many more! But my experience on home has been great so far!
