violachicDo you feel your LJ accurately portrays you/your life/your personality?
Do you read other people's journals and form an image of them based soley on that, or do you keep in mind there is more to them than what's there?
Do you trust what other people write about themselves in their journals?
If you know someone in person first and then read their journal (or vice-versa), are you surprised if it seems to paint a different picture of them than you originally knew?
Do you want your journal to give a three-dimensional view of yourself, or do you like only having part of you on paper (online?)?
Do you either 1)wish people who read your journal would make an effort to reconcile you in person with your journal, or 2)wish people would make an effort to separate your online bits from your person?
Feel free to answer none, some, or all.....

Date: 2003-08-03 05:58 pm (UTC)it definitely does not project me acurately... i'm not cute, funny and well behaved all the time. i'm also not bitchy and bitter all the time. it shows only the one dimention of emotion as it is in the moment and as i chose to tell it, not necessaryly as it is.
do you read...
i always keep in mind there is more to a person that what their journal says, because i am so aware that there is more to me... i like that a lot of my friends are on lj because it proves my point... :)
do you trust...
it just depends on the person/user, how long they have been on my list, do i know them personaly etc. mostly the answer is yes.
if you know...
no, because it's a part of their personality that i know anyway.
do you want...
i don't think i care, because i'm doing it for myself, because it's fun, because it puts me in contact with people, because it's easier than email (and it takes effort to make something easier than email :)
do you either..
i don't think i understand your question... but if it is what i think it is then what i wish is that people would take all aspects of me at face value and ask me if they are ever confused.
