Habbo

Okay, I know it's a site that is geared toward kids, but one of the reasons why I like Habbo Hotel so much is that you can report people who are bugging you and they don't put up with any sexual language or a lot of cursing. If you try to curse in the Habbo environment, it comes out, "Bobba," which is one of the great in-jokes of school kids in real life outside of the environment. It's a "safe space" for kids to learn about things like commerce, chat programs, and interacting with other kids, but I love it because I design rooms there.

The room above is based on feng shui principles -- I did it because Habbo just made a Feng Shui "floor" in the hotel to celebrate the release of some "Asian" "furni" ("furni" is what Habbo kids call their virtual furniture).

I started there to study how kids use spaces when they can design their own, but I stayed because I got hooked. Look me up if you go on: I'm emmiedee. I bobba love that bobba place.
