oh dear

Not even close to being a GIP, even though this icon GLADDENS MY HEART - thank you, chaos_pockets - because I have to display the results of my insanity (& gross enabling on boxchat's behalf) as well.

This is set loosely after 2522, Rematch and Disrepair.

It's a sestina. Much to my disgust, it also insisted on being written in iambic pentameter. I have structured myself into oblivion. Later on I may write, you know, actual fic.

question

This is something that makes me very curious: to what extent do you try to keep your online life/persona separate from your RL one, and why?

I realise that there are many legitimate and important reasons, but I don't make any efforts in that direction whatsoever, so it's interesting to me. I wouldn't care at ALL if anyone I knew in real life, including any members of my family, were to find this blog. The things I write and the opinions I have are every bit as much me as the person who goes to uni and sings in a choir and...I don't have a lot of time for anyone who'd judge me on it.

Maybe it's because I was introduced to LJ by RL friends. Maybe it's that I'm not in a Real Job. Anyway. Talk to me, flist.
