Most of us are fairly acquainted with each other online, and most of us adhere to a certain personality when we're online as well. But how are you offline? What friends do you have? Are you outgoing or introverted? Does your online persona match your offline persona? How would you describe yourself? Does your persona at GW leak into your real life one?

As for me...

In real life, I'm mostly the same guy, but now I have the nuances that real life communication entails, like body language, dress, inflection of voice, etc.

In real life I guess I can be mostly described as friendly, outgoing, social, and such. The thing is though I seem to manage to be all of these things without conforming to any one social group or clique, so over the years, since high school, I have managed to make a LOT of friends from EVERY subculture, it seems. In any given day I can be walking on campus, and one guy will say to me 'EY YO WHAT'S UP DAWG', and the next guy will be like 'HEY DUDE TOTALLY WHAT'S GOING ON?'? I get invited to mad parties and events and shit but I only go to about half of them because I don't want to get burnt out.

I don't know ever since I was little I never had problem making friends, girlfriends, whatever! I always seem to know the RIGHT thing to say or something, whether be a job, getting a C instead of an E, getting a girlfriend to have sex with me MINUTES AFTER WE BROKE UP. Sometimes I wonder if my ancestors made a deal with the devil or something and eventual son will rise up to strike me down. My luck is going to FUCKING RUN OUT.

Exactly the same. Minus the RPG talk obviously.

I'm not creative enough to invent a new personality for myself while I'm online.

In real life I don't give a crap about this site anymore.  

I'm a college student, and I'm going to Towson University.  I live in an apartment by myself and I don't have a lot of friends (not that I mind).  I visit my girlfriend a lot because her campus is only 17 miles from my apartment, and I go back to Frederick to visit my family quite often.  

I am really into home brewing, and I make my own beer.  I love to drink beer and pretty much any other kind of alcohol.  I also enjoy cooking and watching TV shows I get through Netflix.

My life isn't very interesting.

Well, for me I'd say I'm a very odd person.

I constantly switch between being an utter geek and a social beast, a couple of girls have been into me, but I managed to put them off by being too good at Rock Band and Guitar Hero, damn it! Otherwise, I'm pretty charasmatic and I also have no problems at all getting friends and girlfriends.

I often speak my mind and if I get bored of something, I'll let everyone know. I drink quite a bit and I've ended up becoming a bit of a machine in terms of drinking as a result (plus, the fact I'm 6"2 kind of helps haha). I am quite intelligent, but I only take interest in a few things, such as computers and music, and I often disregard college subjects as any importance to me as a result (I've always relied on personal ability and classes, rather than studying).

That's about all there is to know...

I'm exactly the opposite, I don't talk (a few years ago I used to act like a mute and while I don't do that anymore I do not converse fluently) and don't have friends and don't go to parties never had relationships etc. And it's not like I miss any of that! People are all alike and they bore me.

Seriuosly I'm glad I'm like this instead of having to use a wheel chair

mmm I'm probably more outgoing in real life than in GW, not because I'm shy here, but sometimes GW jokes pass way over my head, So I prefer not posting in those cases.
In real life, I enjoy being with friends a lot, but I also need my time alone. and I tend to joke a lote and make others laugh, I really enjoy making people laugh actually.

nicer. I've been trying to be nicer here too but in real life I'm v kind and nonjudgemental. I can judge people for dumb/still kinda important stuff on the internet pretty easily, but if I did that irl I would hate everyone. I pretty much draw the line at shit like racist, misogynist, bigoted, dumb fucking hateful dick etc, and that already cuts out a huge amount of people.

I'm pretty lazy irl so

also I don't swear.

Pretty much the exact oppisite.
I hold doors open for both men and wemon.
In real life I'm so pleasent and well mannered I could probably be a butler. Which is probably why I don't act like the when I'm online. I don't feel the need that it's required.

I am extremely polite and nice to people.  I really want people to like me so I try to win them over.  Over the internet though I care about that a lot less (I still try not to be mean though except to Harmonic because he is a fucking barbarian) and don't try very hard to make friends online.  I am also much more attractive in person.  I don't know I am mostly the same but maybe less phony online?

Well I'm pretty much a free spirit.
I do stuff without really thinking about the outcome, so sometimes I have suicidally honest moments, but that's part of my character, since I don't really give a lot of value to things people might consider important.
In that way, I'm not a guy who follows tendencies, but neither am I one that goes against it, I just go with the flow, again, without necessarily being into stuff, or I just do it in my way.
Since there is little of me that I feel I should be put under guard, I'm pretty much off-guarded in a social event, so getting to talk with people is pretty much a non-issue.

But uh yeah, I'm pretty much an optimistic, secure, humble and modest guy, with friends of different kind, but none with a real close musical affinity. People probably see me as some sort of rebellious art geek and a nice honest and transparent dude.

Here at GW I am just fooling around playing characters, except when I post my music albums and other exceptions.

I'm insulting. For instance, I asked somone today: "When you fell from the stars did you wipe out the dinosaurs?"

I can reach up inside my ribcage as far as my knuckles.

I own four guitars, two of which are acoustics that I bought when I was still drunk from parties the previous nights.

I am seeing a girl who doesn't appear that nerdy at first look but will exclaim "lol" in day to day conversation. This is offputting.

I don't drink diet coke since my mouth interprets it as a taste similar to washing up liquid.

I back comb my hair for extra volume with tressemé freeze hold. I am real manly.

My cat is called Basil, he is the size of a large puppy. He has yet to capture the red creature that emants from the laser aperture.


My favourite youtube video is
I like taking pictures of railways and urban scenery.

The novel I have leant to people the most is The Day of the Triffids.

The jeans I am wearing have holes in both pockets thus my keys often find themselves seated around my ankles.

"Anne Frank" is my fave cockney rhyming slang

The last time I visisted Ikea I had a tantrum because they had stopped selling
I have only ever purchased three games consoles and all were manufactured by Sony.

In my opinion, the best thing that can be put between two slices of bread is a combination of bacon, avocado and paul newman's salad dressing.

I am a Guardian reader.

I thought a self-centered list of random facts would be more entertaining than some bullshit about how I judge my own character which can never be entirely correct if it's from the first person - can it?

I am generally pretty shy and don't talk to people that much, especially since I go to a fairly large university so it's hard to get to know people. Nowadays I generally just find a nice quiet spot to read or listen to music instead of going out with people or whatever, although I kinda like this and I feel much more relaxed than I would trying to make smalltalk or whatever.

An observation; there's quite a lot of 'I'm more shy/quiet in real life' sentiments! Interesting! I cannot relate to that, which makes it even more interesting from my perspective.

idk.  MOODY is probably a good word.  it depends on where i am and it depends on if i hate my job a lot too.  if i don't sometimes i will act silly as shit to just pass time so no one takes me seriously at all ever in those cases.  if i do hate it a lot then i usually don't say anything and probably seem kind of mad or something.  at home/around friends i guess i am.... also pretty silly.  i'm a silly fucking dude, man.  i'm not really a dick though and i'm generally pretty nice.  i'm not shy anymore at all basically.  idk i joke around a lot but besides that i'm probably a pretty normal guy.  i don't really get a chance to have many intelligent conversations so me being like AHH YES never really presents itself in my daily life, because it is just out of place and unnecessary.

I'm just a groovy kinda guy doing a fine arts degree 8)
It depends on who I'm with and shit I guess, I kinda have to keep to myself because people generally have shit taste and (with me living in poor-working class area england) are extremely racist/nationalist. Really laid back interms of plans which people tend to mistake for apathy. I'd say I'm shy/quiet but I got told a few weeks back(by someone whose only known me for at that time a month) that I'm quite confident so... I dunno I guess meh. At work I'm seen as a weird one, because I namedrop shit they've never heard of (which to be honest isn't saying much as they've never even heard of funkadelic) and am really really dopey/clumsey/useless yet they still think I'm smart... Someone told me it's like I'm "always stoned", and I'm always getting asked what drugs I'm taking, which is weird. I'm known for having a heavy interest in political stories, and can be seen on a train to uni reading Private Eye. Anymore useless facts?
