I'm not sure, maybe the folks that have attended meetups could elaborate on that.  I tend to avoid both flowery language both online and in real life.

I also suspect that I act really goofy in real life and I do not realize it.

I'm called Rowdy because I don't talk much.  Unless someone IRL asks me something about keyboards, then I over-inform.

They have learned not to ask about keyboards.

I think I am much more reserved online,  IRL I'm actually quite an animated individual.  Online, I write a few sentences.

Exact same :D

I'm bi-polar so it depends when you catch me really! If i'm on a high I'm the life of the party but if I'm on the other end of the scale I tend  to be very withdrawn.

Do you also use the Austere theme instead of Nostalgia, cause Nostalgia is just too dark?  :confused:  :'(

^This is me, down to the letter. It's just like that Brad Paisley song (not a big fan of country anymore, but the lyrics are quite accurate).

Synopsis: I'm so much cooler online.

Thanks for the kind words guys  :-[. I never know how to describe myself.



I'm a little less legitballin irl than I am online. Tsangan is the opposite. He balls everywhere he goes...

Ha you're pretty ballin' in real life. I remember shopping for Miami themed sneakers with you and Halverson!

I'm not sure, maybe the folks that have attended meetups could elaborate on that.  I tend to avoid both flowery language both online and in real life.

I also suspect that I act really goofy in real life and I do not realize it.

You're a pretty funny dude and a little goofy but that's ok. Good guy to have a chat with about anything and you had me cracking up a few times at Keycon.

I think I am much more reserved online,  IRL I'm actually quite an animated individual.  Online, I write a few sentences.

Demik and others who have met me IRL, describe me :P

Exact same :D

I think that description fits you great. You're really sociable in person and energetic. Hilarious dude too.

My actual self is an educated, experienced, and very opinionated old white guy living in the suburbs with my wife and teenage kids.

As anyone who knows me personally will tell you, I'm about the same. PONIES FTW! The way that I incite hate IRL is by correcting grammar usually.

I have no idea how I am portrayed online. 

Irl, I am just a nice guy with way too many hobbies, a wife, kids, pets, and a good education.  I tend to be the guy that tries to make everyone happy (even when they just want to be pissed off).

Gutz (the manga character in my avatar) is my ideal of a man.

In real life, I am more Klutz than Gutz.

Somehow or other, about half the keyboards that pass through my hands wind up broken or spoilt or malfunctioning. (About half came to me that way; the other half was a result of various failed experiments.)

 I also do not resemble Gutz in any way although we probably both have goofy faces.

Like calling someone with red hair Bluey.

Or a very tall person Shorty.

Some people behaves in a negative  way, because is so easy to hide behind a keyboard. I am sure that face to face they behave like little dogs.
