My Online Personality

I was asked by my professor how I present myself on my blog...

What do I sound like? Am I the same personality online as I am in person? If my blog just an extension of myself? Maybe my blog is simply a "body without an organ"?

In my own opinion, I'd have to say that my online blog reflects my personality perfectly. Both online and in F2F. I am organized, have a small sense of humor, and also enjoy informing others of my new findings. With organization, I like having a specific place for everything. If my notes are not organized or my organization's notes are disorganized, my day is completely thrown off. I feel as if I'm lost in my own chaos. If you notice my blog page, everything has a special place to that it looks clean, simple, and easy to navigate. My sense of humor, well some find it funny... I think! I try to make F2F time fun because I know it brightens other people's days. It tends to also break the barrier between myself and the individuals I am speaking with. Online, I feel on this blog I am talking to the air but I try to draw people in with qwircky remarks and thoughts. Re-reading my blogs I believe that I am just extending my F2F personality onto the internet by "getting the job done but having fun on the way there." Finally, I truly enjoy letting others know what cool and interesting things have come my way. Such as the applications I found for my iPad, I told all of my friends in person and I am now extending this information to the public by posting it online.

Last year I did a small research project on the dangers of internet usage while online dating and I came across a plethora of information that lead me to an unsettling discovery. Many online users abuse their online privileges by acting as someone they are not. In online chats you can IM or e-mail the person and come to believe they have an AMAZING personality only to meet them in a F2F situation and discover that they are a quiet and awkward individual. It's horrible and terrifying. All I know is that I swear I am the same online as I am in F2F! Or am I....?
