Writer's Block: Divided Self

[Error: unknown template qotd]


I am pretty much exactly the same. I write just like I talk and I talk about the same things online as I do in person. If I write about how annoyed I am that my coworkers are having a meeting in my desk space, I have told them that to their face and then made a joke about it on facebook. If I have a long converstation about bras on my lj you can be sure I would be willing to have that converstation over brunch.

i agree that you're the same on- and off-line. i feel like i'm a lot less guarded off-line, but i only think that because of my resistance to linking my facebook-twitter-blog-lj to each other. i don't people to find me easily... i guess i'm sort of like that off-line, too. :) ha.

I like being open about everything. It is easier that way. What is funny is how easy I am to find online. You would think that would make me more discreet but really it makes me more open.

well, off-line i like to think i'm an open book about most things... it might take me some time with some people to really open up, but i'll get there eventually.

i remember some incident on-line where my grandparents (and other family) found me or my sister's lj and they just don't need to know that much about me. many of my relatives are kinda judge-y in a bad way.

Then we are going to get along awesome in person because I am also exactly the same in real life!

Being two different people is too much work. I like just being the one person I am.
