I am pretty much full-time crazy, although the subject matter of my jokes changes from online to off.
When I first started on LJ, SIX YEARS AGO HOMG WHAT? um. Yeah, I was a lot less cautious. I still didn't put my real name out there, because it is unique, but I was pretty easily trackable and I was pretty open.
And then I acquired a stalker, in part due to a internet-related job I had. This was not fun, had journal-deleting fallout, and still makes me paranoid in some odd ways. (for instance, I use emmy online instead of my real name, wilhelmina.) Also I moved, and the friends I made here came through my work, mostly, and were not geeky in the way we all are. Also my beloved family consists of two parents convinced the internet is still full of weirdos and siblings who do not do the online comm thing like I do, and SHALL NEVER KNOW about the RPing, etc.
So it basically became a thing where no one in RL shared my "geekier" interests and my family does not get them either and hence a separation kinda grew up, and it's one that I am more than okay with due to stalker issues and the fact that organized fandom of any sort isn't really my thing. I love m'ways, I love you guys, but I don't belong to any fan comms or write much fic or anything like that.
Personality-wise, though, I think it's pretty much the same deal online and off. Well, we've met. Is it?
