Mistaken Identity

baru perasan this blogger thing doesn't have a word count feature. when i blog in friendster previously i usually stop at 1000+ words to avoid the post from being too long.

since i cant count number of words, means that my posts will be getting super long.

or super short.

anyways, a few years back, a friend of mine said that there was a friend of hers that wanted to befriend me.

me being the sometimes very oblivious fella, said sure why not.

so the friend added me on ym.

so we chatted for a bit. then stopped.

fast forward a few years later, after not logging on to ym for quite some time, logged in.

saw this "new friend" of mine online.

nothing weird about being online, but what was weird was that the friend had a picture of a girl for profile pic.

hmmm....

LOL.

only now did i realize that this was a girl, not a boy. dah la dulu cakap macam cakap dengan laki je.

no wonder we didn't chat for very long.

coz lets face it, the way we talk is different depending on who we talk with.

we don't talk the same way we talk to our friends when we talk to our parents. we don't talk the same way we talk with strangers when we talk to people we know.

and i'm not sure about others, but i don't talk the same way i talk to guys when i talk with girls.

with boys its usually very harsh, sarcastic, double meaning. but all in good fun. most of the time.

with girls im usually soft spoken. i think. haha. unless ive known that person for some time then its a bit more like when i talk with boys, but still there are limits.

i wonder if i should apologize. LOL. in my defence her yahoo ID sounds kinda like a boy's ID.

and her profile pic does look a bit like a guy. LOL.

or maybe its his girlfriend. hmm.

haih so hard to figure out if its online. this is why its sometimes dangerous to talk to people online. people can be anyone they want to be.

for all you people know i might be a Yellow or Orange Monster With A Forked Tail, Big Horns And Four Eyes.

or charlie brown.

or someone totally different.

its easier for me to be myself faster when im online. a bit hard to do so in real life.

obviously being a Yellow or Orange Monster With A Forked Tail, Big Horns And Four Eyes does have its disadvantages.

enough for now. peace.
