Double Life

the article for this post is "leading a double life" by irene sege. basically, the topic of the article is the comparison of a person in real life to their person in cyber culture/on the internet. personally, i try to be who i am both online and off. that said, there are different facets to my personality. does this mean that i'm a liar or that i'm really somebody completely different online? no. most people are at least a little different even among friends. 1. people don't act the same around the same people and 2. people act differently around different people. so, on the interweb, i'm surrounded by lots of different people, therefore, one would expect me to act at least a little differently. that said, i do still try to just be me. granted, i can be a little more charasmatic online because i can type something up, reread it, and edit it. on many sites, you can even edit long after you posted. what i'm trying to say, is that different parts of my personality are able to be accentuated online versus real life but, i'm still me online compared to the many, many people at there.
