Sometimes I wish I could start over again and not have my friends, and family especially, know who I am.
Then I would lose all the reputation I have as flip though...
Wait, what am I thinking, that might be a win-win.

I think it is hard not to. They are so different. Even if I tried to act the same as I do in life, I just don't know that I could.
Emotion just isn't properly conveyed thru text only. It is probably pretty good at being an equalizer though.
Young/old, male/female, cool/loser, black/white/asian/brown etc. You can't really judge based on appearances here. Like when people find out a certain poster is a chick. It kind of changes your perspective on things. Before being told though, I generally assume everyone is like me, as far as demographics go.
