It all goes together when you have greasy hamburger and a 42 oz. diet Coke.

In real life, I'm a virgin, I never say anything sarcastic, and I'm a short, fat, out of shape old guy who trolls teen chat rooms.

Really, Slappy? Well, whaddya know. I always thought you were actually a mild-mannered, tactful, shy guy who had to deal with a lot of a**holes IRL and took it out on us here.

Guess I had you figured all wrong.

My bad.

Lets see... IRL, im shy, quiet , I smile all the time and never brush my teeth. I tend to not pick political fights, but I will butt heads on religion.
I am quite passive, unless it comes to Bean. I always walk a pace behind the crowd so I dont have to feel rushed... and so i can shoot them in the asses with rubber bands.

I feel like I get my "being social" fix from A2K. It's selective

I can laugh, joke, ponder, agree, disagree, and on and on. At the same time, I can do this without feeling overwhelmed by dozens of people being in the same room.

A2K allows me to think of what I want to say, before saying it. IRL people interupt and there's always someone that because they have the loudest voice overpowers everyone else.


IRL I'm a loner and rather prefer it that way. I can't recall ever feeling like I wish I was in a large group of people. I'm definately an introvert, but not at ALL shy. People get those 2 confused.

I don't suffer fools gladly, and appreciate the fact that I don't have to go to certain forums where I don't think I'd find the conversation stimulating.

I really do feel I have made friends with some people here, and I do have a sense of belonging.

IRL I can make contact with people, enjoy a great conversation, but somehow it doesn't seem to go that extra step of establishing a "live" friendship.
Not to say that I would want to get all buddy buddy with someone who would always be calling on the phone (I, like Reyn rarely answer the phone) or wanting to DO something, (oh God - not AGAIN, didn't we DO something last month).

I very much value my private time, again, one of the reason I like A2K because I can socialize on my terms.

I can cut out anytime I want

Wow, I feel like that a lot! Friendship at my convenience. I also value my privacy.

Good to see that it's not just me....

I know

All the extroverts are sitting there right now, scrathing their heads and thinking "Wow, I better call them up RIGHT NOW and find out what's wrong"!

Oh God, I hate it sometimes when I'm expecting an important call and no one else is around and I've got to actually answer the phone.

pppfffffff, this isn't the call I was waiting for, and now I've got to TALK to them.

worse, they want to talk to the wolverine (who obviously isn't here or else I wouldn't be answering the phone) and now they want to TALK to ME.

<oh god, will they ever hang up?........>

I've solved that little dilemma by turning on our answering machine and monitoring the calls, should there be any.

If I want to talk to them, it's a simple matter of picking up the phone and turning off the machine. :wink:

Oh, I know, our machines ALWAYS on.

Believe it or not, in this day and age, some people STILL won't talk to answering machines.

Caller ID?
Forget it. 99% of the time, I figure...If they want to talk to me, they'll leave a message.

I know, that sounds so anti-social.

hehehe

OH - there you go...Greta as Mata.

Exactly! And if they didn't, it couldn't have been important, or it was a sales call. I don't think that's anti-social at all. Better that, than putting a caller "on hold" while you answer a 2nd call. Now that's anti-social! Laughing

I like the new avatar, by the way. It's how I picture you. The strong-willed (in a good way) woman who knows her mind. :wink:

Look at my signature line. It's hard to know how I differ from my online image, because it's hard to know how I'm perceived.

I'm guessing that I'm probably a lot less formal than my writing suggests. And I use a lot of profane language. Yes, Roboida says a lot of doity woids. So there.

I learned to like fries with cheese and gravy in Alberta. Poutine, I believe it's spelled. Here in the States, I mix tobasco and ketechupin equal parts. It gives it a mild tang.
