Your Internet personality vs. your normal personality

[Grimslade]

I'm still relatively new to forums, so I am pretty much myself both online and offline. But I can feel myself loosening up abit online, which I think is a good thing, because offline I'm a little too shy for my own liking.

Melusine, I agree with you about the peeps at the BBQ - everyone was pretty much how they are online (although I wonder why Mouse uses that as his nickname cos he's anything but Mouselike!) I don't know how you feel, but for me it was like meeting a bunch of old mates you've known for ages but not seen for a while.

Personally I can't really behave any differently online than off - that's me, and I'm quite a direct and straightforward person. I really can't put on an act at all! Tho when I meet people I try to be on best behaviour, at least at first

Aw, come on, Epona! Weren't you the darlingest little angel? It was so endearing the way you kept refusing all that beer because you were afraid you might become intoxicated and do something silly like wipe the floor with Wolfie!
Hehehehe *cough*

Seriously though, yeah, it was the same for me - it wasn't like meeting strangers at all. Even though you haven't met, you do know eachother, so the comparison to meeting old friends works for me as well. [img]smile.gif[/img]

And no, Mousie doesn't look much like a Mouse, but then, you don't look like a horse , Donut doesn't look like a Donut, Yorick doesn't look like a skull and alas, I don't look like my sig either. But then, it's undeniable that Wolfie really is a wolf dressed up as a human
And Claude is definitely a gnome - especially that funny laugh of hers

LOL, I wondered how long it would be before someone brought that up [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Took a week for the bruises to fade btw, just thank feck that no-one could find a camera to record for posterity the sight of me getting whopped good & proper [img]redface.gif[/img] Did you know that Donut and Davros tried to tell me I'd broken a floor tile when I hit the deck? Of course I believed them, the gits [img]tongue.gif[/img]

You two damn near broke something in the computer room though, luckily Simon had the presence of mind to lock you two out
Too bad no one took pics! LOL

Sorry, of course you were there, I have a terrible memory [img]redface.gif[/img]
We also came close to breaking the Table of Doom if I recall correctly, Donut protected it as though his life depended on it tho.
Oh well, I suppose I will never live it down, with or without pics! [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
Was dead funny though!

I think I'm pretty much the same online as offline. Although like Mel, a bit more shy offline, though I'm not all that outgoing online either. I know I don't try to act differently online, or put on some act; I don't know how I'm perceived but then I don't really know how I'm perceived offline either. I try to be a nice, genuine person all the time I guess [img]smile.gif[/img]
