The one thing I have here that I don't have in 'real life' is time to think over what I say while I'm typing. I suck at articulating and trying to explain exactly what I'm thinking in person.
This I suppose. I don't completely suck at articulating my thoughts in person, but I just seem to be better when writing in any form.
Plus I swear in person. A lot. smurf is probably the greatest word in the english language.
