Well the accent certainly comes through loud and clear to me :)

Glad to hear it, wouldn't want you getting hold of the wrong end of the stick. Did I ever tell you I'm a genius? Does that come across on the boards?

Anyway, never mind that, what's happening in the Arrested Development? Is it at series 4 yet?

i am a better writer than i am speaker - i don't want to make any assumptions about how i come across (i doubt anyone is tracking it :-) but my writing tends to be more elequent but also more fussy.

i speak more like, yknow, justsomegirl.

I was just thinking, I probably speak more on here than I do in RT. Generally I keep my thoughts and the processes of my mind to myself, unless I really trust the person, or respect them enough to be able to deal with them appropriately..and those kinda people are few and far between.

So maybe I seem more open on here than I am in RT. I have a closed circle around me away from these boards.

Oh yeahhhh, I am probably wayyyy sloppier in conversation than in type.

I have been told that I come across like a prissy school teacher in type, of course the litttle snot was trying to piss me off. But I do know I am lazier in speech at times. Depends on how fast I am talking and to whom. Also, I tend to be alot more colourful in speech........as in creative cursing.

The written word is always up for interpretation. When i come on these boards, all of who i am is not apparent. i come here to learn and to share what i've learned, not necessarily to be amusing or entertaining. If that occurs, great, because in RT i love to kid and joke and have fun. But when i write i don't always bring that aspect of myself into my writing.

i'm what might be called an extroverted introvert in that i very much enjoy being alone or with Master - that's my preference. But when i do find myself in a group of friends i am more extroverted. i think it's a way i protect the more vulnerable parts of myself.

Fast Reply:

I think how you "come across" in the forums has more to do with the person reading your words, than it does with who you actually are in person.

I know that I can come across to one person one way. Another person sees me in a totally different way.

I don't try too hard to be anything but myself, but one post or thread will have some people sending me "atta boy" emails, and another calling me a "dickhead"

*shrugs*
