I have constructed an idenity here , i have acted a persona . I think i have been fairly close to my person w. that persona but now that i know someone who is now on these boards and may have been lurking for a while , i feel awkard , like how i act irl is markedly different then who i am online.

But who 's to say that this person isn't you? That the person IRL is the real you? You have different personas. All=you.

I thought this was going to be the thread where Anthony admits that Bergman's 'Persona', not bleedin' 'Umbrellas of Cherbourg', is the greatest movie evah.

How funny. I am renowned for having a 'hard' persona online and being a 'diamond geezer' in real life. But I am v.conservative when it comes to online personae. The embarrassment at being 'caught out' is just too great.

I think I'm pretty much the same on the net and in real life, others may think differently.

No, you are the same.

N., Wednesday, 6 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't think anybody has ever called you a 'diamond geezer' in RL, N. The dichotomy is more along the lines of: 'internet hardman' vs 'big wuss'.

Hooray! (Surely post of the day.)

**I don't think anybody has ever called you a 'diamond geezer' in RL, N**

I did. I said "fearsome web policeman is revealed as diamond geezer".

N said he hadn't been called a policeman or a diamond geezer before.

But he didn't say he hadn't been called 'fearsome' before.

Oh that wasn't in RL though. Unless ILE is RL. But I did say it after meeting him in RL. So it was based on RL.

Dr. C, Wednesday, 6 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ILRL.

I am sure I am the same. I woudl like to have a persona though, or several (personi?), but I don't think I have the organistaional/ time management skills to pull it off.

Personae, for fuck sake. if only more people did latin.

I'd rather real life than myself on here, I'm more of a speaking person to be honest.

Ronan, Wednesday, 6 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I want to know what MarkandSarah think(s).

Momus, Wednesday, 6 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

that sounded very serious there, I didn't mind really about personae.

Ronan, Wednesday, 6 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am quiet when it comes to ilx and can never think of much to say but not really like that IRL, expeshully when I've had some drinks.

i am an asshole with a prediliction for harry ptter/prince william types in reall ife too.

QUeen G, Wednesday, 6 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No Steve, you are exactly the same- you are still a cunt [aww, no, I don't mean that really, or do I? No no, you're lovely Steve, oh yes, don't throw me out of the band, erm, yes].

Actually, I think I have the same thing as Steve.n on here, aside from moments of drunken mentalism when I have nothing to vent at but the keyboard- I used to be a lot more like myself on the interweb, bratty and outspoken, but I don't think I have the confidence to do it anymore.

emil.y, Wednesday, 6 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Normally I'd say I'm exactly the same, but I hafta admit to being more reserved on ILE than is usual for me. This is mostly coz I never know what's going on. Also, I think I'm funnier in person due to mannerisms and figures of speech.

My 'persona' is a bit distorted online. This is bcz certain aspects of my personality, certain values I have are highlighted over others.

but like andrew I also thought of the bergman film when i saw the title of this thread.
