[Zhlink]QoTW #6

Do you behave differently online than you do in real life?

Is there an altogether different personality you have IRL? Do you talk/laugh/sing/dance/breath/spell/write/see/[insert verb of choice] differently? Or are you a well-balanced, single (or simple)-minded person in both dimensions?

Well, I'll get straight to the point then.

Yes, there is a very wide gap between me in Real Life, and me Online. Actually, more differences than similarities.

The way I talk, that's definitely similar. I try to speak proper English everywhere, but with a little bit of slangs here and there.(Grammar Nazi time 8D) The only exception to this is when I'm under pressure or really.

…

Erm. Hardcore for a moment.

..

Of course, I won't use the internet as a 'mask' to cover over my identity. Like how some people claim to be females when you realise that it's a big trap.

IZZA TRAP! TWRAP! Like me!

Strangely, after Grimno thought I was a female, I went around asking other forums about my gender.

About 60% thought I was a female.

No seriously. Does Zhlink sound anything like a female's name?

Back to the topic. Normally, the internet is a 'mask' to cover you, so it can hide your identity when you're singing/dancing/doing whatever on a video. I'll give you an example.

That bass player is a guy.

I don't use the internet to tell others : Hey, I'm a d00d trapped in the body of a hot female! Which I find is an insult to your own identity.

Finally, my personalities. My personalities between Real Life and being Online. That's the biggest gap. I'll give an example. In VuTales/MMOTales, I'm not really as random or as cazy as some other people here. However, in real life, insanity breaks out. People say this eccentricity is something good for me, something that I have alone. Others think I'm really crazy, as shown during the medical check-up. The doctor certified me as partially-insane.

I mean seriously.

I dare to do stuff in real life that I wouldn't online. I could walk up to a stranger and have a conversation with him/her. A kid was pressing buttons in an elevator, and I dragged him in and made him sit through everything.

…

Where's this going off to again?

Ah, right.

To put in simply. On the internet, I'm like Mikuru. Outside, I'm like Haruhi.

That was the best I could phrase it.
