Back on the subject, this will not be "Dr. Journal, today I did so and so, found hair under my armpits, and sat on a comfy chair. Yay.", despite how excitign that sounds. It is just my personal thoughts or experiences. The way this differs from my rants page is, this is based entirely on my life, not on my outlook on life.
So, for the people who either want a glimse into my life, are stalkers, or just interested, read on!
Once I decided to just sit down and think, I came to the conclusion that I have two social lives. Two very, very different social lives.
One life, the one in "the real world", is... decent, at best. I have several friends, mostly just the same group of people I hang out with, a good dozen, really. I'm slightly popular, but I think little of it has to do with who I am. Of course, some people will talk about the same stuff as I like to talk about, and have fun doing what I like to do, stuff like that. However, I will gaurantee that a majority likes me for my intelligence and answers to homework and test questions. I can usually single out these people and refuse them the help, but nontheless am taken advantage of, anyway.
And then... online, another life. I go by "BobCFed08" and "Skan Erreden", mostly. And, I am VERY popular, here. I mean, I remember, upon leaving a roleplaying town called "Windor", there was a massive reaction, and I was followed closely by two more people. It started an argument, mostly between myself and Skyler (JeffreyAtW) vs. Ranagan, the leader of Windor. I also know that I am considered somewhat of a veteran in this roleplaying environment (the miscellaneous guilds and the like), perhaps because of my long time with them (a year, now...)
But, what am I doing differently? Is it because, online, people are more like me? That's more likely, actually. My venting my feelings, and agreeing with several other people's views most definately help.
I don't think that this is healthy, actually. Online, I am popular, I have many friends and few enemies, and a much better social status than the real life. I do not think it is a relatively good way to live a life, great with people through computers, horrible in real life...
Actually, if you're reading this, then chances are, you might very well be the same way.
