On Thursday I met in person three people whose online personas are the only ones I knew of them. We were to meet at 4pm and I was curious about meeting LSM, Maurina and RA, three strangers whom I 'listen' to every day. Their online personalities are, short of a better word, arresting, and this is why I keep coming back for more. I thought about three things that I knew about each of them through their writings before I walked into a room to meet them properly for the first time.
Maurina: Effervescent, vocal, bold
RA: Inquisitive, clever, shy
LSM: Truthful, funny, one smart lad
Is there a theory that says that you could sense a person's true personality through his/her writings? If there isn’t, there should be. At least, in the case of these three, it should. I ticked off all of the above right off the bat. And in the added dimension of reality, I found RA to be shyer than he writes, smarter than he thinks and uses the camera to hide behind. I’ve read that LSM is 25 and he looks even younger. I found him wise beyond his years, and as charming as he is funny. Maurina’s eyebrows did not fail me. Neither did her bubbly personality, one that she uses together with a sharp intellect to turn her into a smart sassy cookie.
I found that in real life their personalities matched their writings on the blog. So I knew that we would have a swell time. And that, we did.
haha! you are too nice! ;)
