Yea. I'm pretty much the same. I'm uptight in the real world, and I'm uptight here.

Never clarify. If you're talking to someone that doesn't understand 'not usually' then you're talking to a moron and is it really worth your time to make sure a moron understands what you said? Personally I'll clarify if it's a legit misunderstanding of what I said but if the problem is that I used polysyllabic words they can't follow then fuck em, they can find some 5th grader to explain what I said if they care so much.


Ahaha!

I have to agree with this 100%

Online I'm pretty much the same as in RL. Except I don't say stuff like "in RL".
Anybody that has had an IM session with me has a pretty good idea of what I'm like. Bad jokes, and a tendency to ramble into different subjects.

Mostly, the students I work with all think I'm an asshole, pissed off all the time, and on the very edge of losing it and killing everyone. I don't bother to disabuse them of that notion as it works to my benefit. When I'm working I tend to be pretty militant. Sort of what you'd expect a cop to be like when he's giving you a ticket. When I'm not working I'm relaxed and cheerful.

My brother is the only person that can make me laugh so hard I have to pull my car over because I can't breathe.

im very quiet in rl, i don't know if people can tell on the forums. one thing i notice is that i hate interrupting people and i hate being interrupted. thats why its much easier for me to join a discussion on the forums than in rl.

I'm more talkative online because I can usually find a greater concentration of people who I have more to say to than "who ate my yogurt?"

:lol:

I don't generally talk to people I live with very often either, but I talk a fair amount at work. It's an even mix between talking and singing. >.> I loves to sing me some Boston.

I don't take myself seriously either on or offline. I mean, really. :lol:

I don't post pictures very often, so yeah, there's a disconnect. It's easier to just announce every so often what the real situation is so that people have a chance to run like hell before they get to like me accidentally.

I type the way I think, but not the way I speak. I speak like the awkward, garbled idiot I am, albeit an awkward, garbled idiot who says things like "indeed" and "albeit." Some habits come through - I'm not an attention whore, I mostly sit back and chill, I don't take my hobbies that seriously even if I spend a lot of time on them, etc. But the important part is missing. It's not an intentional persona, though. I'm bummed out when I accidentally mislead somebody like that, 'cause it's not a nice thing to do.

I sing normal sentences when I'm frustrated. I have a long habit of swearing at videogames in this weird singsong tone that I didn't even realize I had until a friend pointed it out last year. :oops:

He has the smug self satisfied look of someone who was victorious over something. He should be accompanied with a "Yes. I win." And there is no winning on teh internets.

Agreed. An "I win at the internetz" would be more appropriate.
