The non-meetup thread

[Pike]

I am told that my husband and I are markedly different from our online personas

I wonder if I fit that category too

I probably do seeing as in person I just straight up never talk.

[Rebellious Eagle]

I'm pretty sure I'm a lot different online than in person too. I'm pretty shy in person but once you get to know me I'm really fun and open and make a lot of inappropriate jokes. I'm pretty sure I don't come across like that on here though

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

I would rather a small to medium group if I were to go to a meet-up though I have only met online friends in one-on-one situations, not large groups.

[Shorty]

Public places work so much better for myself. When I met Del it scared the crap out of me. I've shown my face before so I was recognizable but I had no idea what he looked like so when someone came up to me in a very populated city saying "kaycee?" It spooked me at first. Not that he's scary or anything (he's super scary) but just when you don't know someone even by how they look, it's a little, well, spooky! So when it comes to meetups where I might not know all the faces, I'd rather be some where in public. You lot are creepy! (specially shorty, she was wearing heels when I met her, who does that?)

If i'm on a level of wanting to meet just one person, I'm more likely to meet them. As a group it tends to be people I don't know as well so i'm less likely to meet them. Doing new things is scary.

Ha ha! To throw you off, nerd!

But no, I was wearing a skirt and heels were appropriate. Plus I can use them to gouge the eyes out of any miscreants who attack me in the middle of the night on my way back to my car if need be (although thankfully that wasn't the case because Murder and Miriel were kind enough to walk me mostly back to the lot).

Sarah, I want to meet you 'cuz I love you not because I have homicide in mind (right away).

[Shorty]

I have a concerning feeling you are going to go Hannibal on me.

(But I'd love to meet you, darling )

[Miriel]

I've done some pretty big meetups for other online groups I'm part of. Like... 100+ people. Those are always hard, because you basically just stick with one or two buddies and create a protective little circle around yourself.

I prefer meeting people in small groups. One on one isn't really ideal for me either, but definitely better than meeting in a bigger group. I think the best would be meeting maybe 2-3 people at a time.

I am told that my husband and I are markedly different from our online personas, but I'm not sure that I would agree.

I think I'm fairly different offline. I wonder if I surprise people sometimes.

[Shorty]

You surprised me! You used to intimidate the hell out of me, but you're a smiley little sweet thing who I just want to hug.

I feel like Nicky is exactly the same online and off. So, awesome.

The 'destroyer of worlds' heels you wear are never appropriate... In any situation... Ever

[Shorty]

They are appropriate for me to stomp on your stupid face with.

[Pheesh]

Too bad for you I can hear you coming from a mile away whenever you're wearing them. It's like that scene in Jurassic Park with the cup of water!

Okay, back on topic.

[Calliope]

Clack clack clack clack fyi you shouldn't have to justify your clothing choices to anyone!



El Spuuko says I've brainwashed everyone circa 2002 into thinking I'm "quirky". In recent years, I've probably given the impression that I spend all day crying and eating kale. It's funny what we let people see, and what we have no control over.
