is reality an illusion or illusion the reality? Is Huttriver the same or opposite of Peter the blogger from New Zealand? What an interesting question. Hutt is a damn site more relaxed than Peter.

see us. Something that was a real revelation to me was when I recorded a message on our answering machine. Later, I called home to ask my husband something, and when my voice came online, I thought some southern person had erased my message and replaced it with one of her own. I drawled!
Imagine, a native Oregonian and I drawled.

I also tend to see myself as younger than am---until I look in a mirror, that is. I don't often tell people online my age for fear that they will decide what I have to say can't be all that important, coming from the mind of someone my age. It can work that way if you are younger or older than the average blogger. Lots of people automatically discount the words of people in either of those age ranges as not worth listening to. (Too bad. They might be missing out on something really good.)

This is an interesting post. I am a pretty real person. I am who I am and that's pretty much it. As a blogger, I am more outspoken than I normally am in person mostly because in person, I am a listener more than a talker. Of course as a blogger.....I have to do the talking if I am going to post anything. As a blogger I am much more radical than I am in person, partially because I like to evoke a response which of course is the listener in me wanting to come out and hear what someone else has to say.

To some degree.....being radical also allows me to "vent" to the extreme. I think that helps my blood pressure althoug I am sure it has raised the blood pressure in others.

My writing style isn't sanitized. I don't "fix" anything because perfection isn't something I aspire to. I like some of the flaws in some people....it makes them seem more human to me....it is certainly something I can relate to.

I think you are who you say you are. Either you have fooled yourself into thinking you are the person who writes your blogs or you are that person. I don't believe you could have remained as consistent if you weren't.

But one with no set answer. We are who we are in person, but online, we have opportunity to edit our words before they are seen. And because our words are not heard, their tonal quality is not heard, nor is their intent sometimes.

So if you ask me if I'm the same as I show on screen, just look at my avatar. I view myself as a kitten, but in the mirror or to others, I might really be a raging lion. Or, I maybe view myself as a kitten, but might really want to have the strength of the lion I see in the mirror.

We are probably none of us the way we appear online. But last I saw your picture, FF&F, I could imagine you looking just like you did. I can imagine you living and walking out your faith, just like you do, because of the way you phrase your words, the way your serve others online through prayer corner and your comments.

Now that I haven't really answered your question, it's time to say, "see ya." Hmm...maybe that's a lot like me too.
