::has been leaving lots of comments:: sometimes I feel annoying when I comment too much. I know I love to get comments, so I figure other people will be happy to get them too, but probably everyone else has a limit. I don't know. You tell me if I'm getting annoying.
here's something else that's been weighing on my mind. Well, not weighing. It bounces in there occasionally. I don't know what to call some of you guys. Like, a lot of you don't give out your real name, which is fine, but then there'll be a couple of other things that you go by and I don't know whether I should refer to you by your LJ user name, or another name. . . it's so confusing. And then some of you do give out your real name, and I still don't know if I should call you that or if I don't know you well enough and I should just call you by your LJ name. . . gyaah. The problems of the easily confused ;)
You can all feel free to call me Laura. The whole Laura/Guingel/Lightspeed (zatannazatarra is just a screen name, not an alias) thing will make me feel like I have multiple personalities. Cos guingel is my main online alias, and I'm different online than I am in real life (which is when I'm Laura) and then I'm Lightspeed on oekakies, and I'm very different on oekakies. . . it confuses me.
Online I'm different from in person, but I think except for one thing I'm only slightly different--how I phrase things and stuff--and all the changes that go along with the fact that I can't actually see you, that it's all typing. The big difference is that online I always act like I'm comfortable. Like, more how I act with my close friends, no matter what. Although I won't always be comfortable, sometimes I don't know what to say in an IM or something and I won't be totally relaxed with someone, but it's nothing like in real life. I'm extremely shy with strangers in real life, practically a completely different person. I clam up. I never have that problem online, even though I'm often dealing with strangers. (not you guys, you guys are my friends ;) I was newly struck today with how cool and nice you all are)
Of course, the other weird thing is my age. Definitely by looks alone, I appear to be younger than I am, if anything. Personality-wise, in person. . . well, David says I'm 5 and 30 at the same time, but he tends to bring out my extremes. With my friends i'm 16. But online age isn't so much of a problem. You can't tell someone's chronological age, it's solely mental age. I don't know. I think I'm going to stop talking before I say something dumb.
david returns today. good. katie keeps crying over nothing and I feel bad aboutit and I can't do anything for it and it's getting crazy and I wish she'd cheer up. oy.
oh, and just for fun, here's a picture of katie and david.
