I know what you mean... When you know what a person's like in reality, you have that image in your head. Like getting a message from a friend and laughing out loud because you know what it would sound like.

Rev. Justin Timberlake · 03-14-2006, 12:50 PM

Yeah. Similarly, after seeing your picture in the Pic Link thread, my concept of your appearance adjusts after conflicting with reality. Cue "How do you envision..." thread.

I have an interesting question for all. I recently talked to someone on the phone that I chat with from time to time and I noticed after I had talked to them I started to read what they had written differently. Has this happened to anyone else? I mean, would you read this differently if you knew what I sounded like?

Definitely. When I read I tend to 'hear' the words in a higher pitch than it would likely be in reality. Especially if I don't know the age of the person writing or if they're as old or younger than I am.

The way we imagine speech patterns probably also has a lot to do with context that the person is writing in.
When I'm posting here, the way I write is closer to the way I speak, while in a debate thread I try to use a more formal and properly grammatical tone than I would ever manage to speak in.
Does anyone else find themselves adjusting their writing style according to topic?

Without a doubt. Some topics call for a scholarly tone, others encourage a rambling mess of words. Writing, talking, et al.

Most definitely!

Rev. Justin Timberlake · 03-14-2006, 05:40 PM

Okay, confession time.

Normally, Last Shah of Shane, it would be a very exciting thing for you, sitting so close to me. But I am afraid that tonight, I'm just too sleepy. *yawns* G'night.

*retires for the night, leaving Shah to stretch out*

Lotesse · 03-14-2006, 06:06 PM

I've had too much coffee today. Gave me jitters.

Hey, where'd everyone go?

Farimir Captain of Gondor · 03-14-2006, 06:15 PM

Yeah, that definitely looks like the caffeine has gone to that umm things head. Hi Tessa, how was your day?

Lotesse · 03-14-2006, 06:25 PM

***Rían*** · 03-14-2006, 06:30 PM

wow

I hope things will change soon. Can't you get a student loan? My husband put himself through college on his own, working and going to class and getting student loans. Hard, but he did it.

I don't like coffie...zzz...

Not hasty

Farimir Captain of Gondor · 03-14-2006, 06:40 PM

Wow, he doesn't sound like a very supportive botfriend at all. Three years and your still with him? Love is a strange thing. Makes people crazy. I'm still debating on whether or not love is evil or a blessing. To quote the tootsie pop guy "The world may never know".

*looks through Tessa's wine list*

Ummm, pick us a wine and lets catch a buzz.

Lotesse · 03-14-2006, 06:43 PM

Well, hmm. Let's see... let's see... *thinksthinks* I can't seem to be able to choose one right now. Maybe a light Riesling? Something light and flowery for this sunny afternoon?

Farimir Captain of Gondor · 03-14-2006, 06:47 PM

I trust your decision.

LOL...I noticed I put down botfriend insteed of boyfriend but I think I'll keep it as bot cause it seems to fit.
