Internet you vs. real life you

Although, part of "my hidden self" saps out when I do make the occassionally self-indulgent stupid post.

Same here. People who know me in real life know I'm talkative. Sometimes I don't even think before I talk. Sometimes it'll come out harsh, but I think it's the most honest answer I can give them. I don't want to be too raw with my words when I type things down because typed-up words can't completely tell you whether I'm serious or not. without an emoticon, it looks like i'm inflexible. When it comes down to my online persona, i'm sedate. =(

Jam it back in, in the dark.
