A little grayer, and I usually try to avoid the taboo issues I argue about here.
Also, I usually only wear cheese on Sunday (like when we're spanking Bear A$$
). That's probably about it. That's me to the left, and I'm not an anonymous poster either. Oh, and no way I'd still be in the flirting stage with Brooklyn IRL. :wink:

You must be damn good at it, cause Sis tells me you are damn good at lip reading.
Also know you're just as cool, cause she tells me your fella is quite a guy!
Thomas wrote:So far, once I met A2K people face to face, none of them expressed a whole lot of surprise after meeting me. My offline personality seems pretty similar to my online one. The major difference appears to be that in real life arguments, I tend to say some fairly blunt things, but at the same time have this sheepish smile on my face saying "By the way, I don't mean this in an aggressive way". Online, I just say some very blunt things, and only my monitor witnesses the sheepish smile that goes with it. That probably makes me come across as more confrontative online than I am in real life. But apart from such minor things, online me seems to be quite similar to real life me.
That was definitely my take.

An easy going persona with a wit I suspect he keeps in check, in person, so as not to totally intimidate everyone around him. But you can still see the smile in his eyes when he knows someone's saying something that doesn't add up (actually; that smile's seemingly always there).
I'm smiling right now, remembering you guys popping in for dinner. That was beyond cool.
Actually, me too. The A$$ kicking part was certainly a good time... but I nearly succumbed to tears myself when Brett did after the game. HE BETTER NOT QUIT!
