Well, my roommate was laid back, but maybe I'll come to trust you one day. Consequently, I discussed rooming with a guy who was obsessed with online poker.

[Intentionally Wrong]

Okay, I've read the entire thread, and... wow. Cognitive dissonance overload.

When you post on a forum, you build up an identity. Your avatar, your signature, your grammatical and stylistic conventions--they all contribute to a very distinct persona. Physical appearance builds up its own identity, unsurprisingly enough, and it's seldom the same identity.

It's hard for me to reconcile your posting habits with your actual appearances.

(Something similar happened when I started reading some of my high school classmates' MySpace pages, except in reverse.)

(Also, people like Tim, Toups, Jeff Garneau, etc. don't have this effect because they're robots. I'd seen their pictures before I'd gotten an impression of their posting habits.)

[Intentionally Wrong]

Well, I mean, it's subconscious for the most part. Take James, for example: his outspoken criticism borders on trollishness, but he's kind of an idealist. Between that and his ironic appreciation of niche subcultures, I got the impression he was more of the cranky intellectual type.

I... was going to say more, but I'm not really sure how. I mean, the way we automatically categorize people is both ridiculous and necessary for everyday social interaction, and it's always startling when something calls attention to the process.



Hmm. This is what I wrote when it happened on MySpace:

[unhappy days]

I'm going to post a picture of myself and you guys will tell me what to do with my hair.

[all monsters]

a pretty horrible photograph of me being horrible

[Toups]

[guest253]

i guess i just don't look very smart!

these are mirrored. i can't even look at pictures of myself if i don't mirror them, let alone post them on the internest. unmirrored pictures of myself totally freak me out somehow.

[Churippu]

[google]

You all look way too much like emo's.

Its not on!

Since I appreciate being able to put a face with a name, I'll do everyone the same courtesy. I actually really don't like having my picture taken, so the one below is the only one that I've got. It's pretty representative though.

HOLY SHIT!

A Goose photo is unleashed on the Internet!

And yeah, he totally could have been a serial killer, in like some alternate dimension. Which is not to say he acts like one or anything, it is just that he is so not one that if he was one it wouldn't be suprising.

But, seriously, SB, I want you to understand how rare a photo of this dude is. He once threw a dude across like two driveways just to avoid getting his pic taken. Like, for realz.

I do like how you said solid color like they aren't almost all navy blue, dude. That red one is still fucking unnatural.

[guest253]

[google]

I dont know why, but whenever I see a picture of a particular forumite over the internet, Im always disappointed.

At least when I havent a clue what they look like, I can guess the more charismatic posters have fucked up mohicans and wear crazy expensive desginer gloves...

Yet in reality, they all have crew cuts, and watch Family Fortunes!

At least Tim looks like a cracked up whore!
