Inspired by a friendly post

I'm pretty sure I've brought this up for discussion earlier, but for those of you that have met me in person, I wonder how I differ from my LJ persona. I've heard that it's common to be more brash and opinionated in LJ, but as belochka can easily attest, I'm quite the asshole in person, too.

I also wonder how much being Facebook friends is closer to reality than LJ, where people tend to be a little more anonymous (at least in my experience).

Haha, I agree with belochka :)

ummm... ummm... *remembers discussion of taking blue cheese on the plane*... well -- i love you just the way you are!

i think that i, on the other hand, am more brash and opinionated IRL :)

You make me want blue cheese! It was awesome!

I don't spend enough time on Facebook to tell you :0)

хммм, тяжело так вот сразу сказать. Мы все, я думаю, отличаемся в настоящей жизни от нашей виртуальной:) Ты в жизни на самом деле очень классная (хотя и притворяешься, что якобы ты мизантроп:)))). Твои посты в жж не всегда отражают, какая ты в реальной жизни:). Так и должно быть по идее!!!

Я мизантроп с незнакомыми. Особенно с обслуживающим персоналом.

With me - less so. People here see _me_, people there see the me that I'm willing to show both my mother and my coworkers.

That's why my Facebook is very well filtered.

Though i don't know you irl, i have a feeling that both of your personas possess the quality i really like - you are curious about people that somehow provoked your interest.
Maybe you don't like all people in general, but you are open to get in touch, you are not aggressive from the start and you are smart. That's why I liked you. =)

Why, thank you!

Have you seen Clerks?

Dante Hicks: You hate people!
Randal Graves: But I love gatherings. Isn't it ironic?
