most of you guys already know about my penchant for piscine pugilism: you know what it means if i trout-smack someone.
now, i've been up since 1:30ish or so, and am definitely pretty tired so maybe it's just my fatigue at play here, but i was thinking about our respective online personae and what traits/ideas/"stuff" are part of the way we present ourselves online.
so: what would you say makes up the identifiable parts of your online persona?
and unlike my norm, i'll go first:
obviously, we all have subjects of interest to us. we also have particular phrases or in some cases emoticons--such as my caret smiley. :>
i type in lowercase.
the trout (duh!)
how about you?

Let's see...I talk about kids a lot, give ((massive hugs)), and always sign comments using a tilde in front of my name.

Hmmmm ...... I underline the name of the person I am responding to and put a hyphen after it. I often start my reply in lower case and I use ;) a lot. -

- I refuse to use one word when 50 will suffice
- I use lots of semicolons, commas, and parentheses
- I use phrases like "I sucketh," "sucks sweaty donkey balls"
- I use emoticons and "stage directions" (e.g. *grins* *runs and hides*)
- I talk about myself way too much
- This may come as quite a shock, but I'm rarely able to ignore a thread or blog entry about penis size

RollingC said on Aug 21, 2008....
I experiment with smiley faces a lot.... :^) or 8^) or ☺ or ♥ or 8^D or 8^p etc.
And I also like to put either a positive spin on things....tell the truth as much as possible without hurting or insulting...or just get plain off the wall wacky.
Whenever (the few times I have) I blog I try to make it a meaningful or useful blog. Haven't started yet with wacky blogs....heh...don't know where that will take me.
And just about anything else I can think of (as long as it's decent enough).

mamie: holy cats--that's so totally you!
iinfernal: you know, i never noticed you use the ~ until you mentioned it. apparently, i'm captain non-observant!
u-i: i dig on your wink smiley! :>
eilan: ah yes, the fabled fascination with penis size talk... :D i haven't used the stage direction myself in a while, i should fix that. perhaps oddly, i never thought of you as particularly verbose, though.
ex: i've been meaning to ask you about that: is that a grin?
paper: long time no see! doing OK, and i hope all is well with you. :>
bluegum: you neglected to mention spartan, i see. :>
sis: ah, the =) smiley is pretty unique to you. i'm a fan of the ... myself. but i don't think of you as being particularly paranoid. :>
rollingc: yeah, i've definitely noticed the experimental smileys, i think that's kinda cool, actually...and yeah, the ellipsis is...useful, isn't it? :D
mimi: i'm gonna go with smartass for you. :>
tobi-lee: bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! :D

Stop laughing I've been very busy and the only antidote is to have fun and be silly. I may need your help considering my last post. :-P -

Interesting post and I have no idea. I write as I am. -
GrapeKoolaid said on Aug 22, 2008....
Interesting question ed...
I guess if there's anything that identifies me in my own blogs is the fact that I thank my readers for stopping in. That, and my lazy youtube music posts which requires no thoughts or explanation. :P
When I'm commenting, I sometimes think I try to be as convoluted as possible. :D

Ed,
I do a lot of rambling, use a lot of smileys and sometimes post a poem when the mood strikes me.

I dunno. Maybe "heh", but that's kinda common.
My general reasonableness?

DaddysLittleSlut said on Aug 22, 2008....
i'm obsessed with telling stories about my self...like this one time...i mean why make a point when an example will do
i'm uncomfortable commenting on posts not marked adultcontent..
i take these questions of silver's way too seriously
i sign big D little ls out of love and respect
i'm seem to be the last one commenting on all my conversations.. (blush, that can't be good)Dls

tobi-lee: i'll try to help as best i can. :D
woman: hm...well, i'd say that probably sincerity is your hallmark, then, no?
grape: hey, i tend to thank new commenters too! as to being convoluted, i can't say that i've particularly thought so, myself. :>
CW: i rather like your rambles, but i think there's a lot of good in them, mind. :>
TS: sure, general reasonableness i'd agree with. nice to see you again, btw, it's been a little while. :>
DLS: i'm usually the last one commenting on my blogs too; i don't like to leave comments unaddressed, myself. :> and you should never make the mistake of taking me too seriously! :p
