Except no one generally sees my temper, or when I'm not in a socialable mood how I disconnect to be alone, or know how I leave my dirty towel on the bathroom floor, etc.

I do think I come off a little anal on-line sometimes.

I think that one of the problems (??)that "some" people have is that it can be easy to over romanticize a person.

If someone is only showing a certain amount of their personality, there's generally another side to them that you don't see.

This is where I can see someone getting disappointed when meeting in person.

All the natural human flaws aren't really considered.

If someone were projecting themselves as something completely different than what they really are, I wouldn't think they would be interested in meeting outside of the internet anyway. They would be seen as a sham.

He was over here from the UK on his way up to see his then-girlfriend in NYC and was pretty much the same as he seemed here.

One of my best friends in this lifetime is another Knowflake.

Life is life. We meet people with whom we bond, and some are just for a little while.

We meet jerks everywhere, not just online.
If I feared meeting someone, I would listen to my inner self and not meet that person, just as I wouldn't have a beer with the guy at work who taunts the gay guy or scratches his *ss with a fork from the communal kitchen.

It's our expectations that get us in trouble every time.

I like it when it shows the beach and the mountains.

I went to Los Angeles Once. Beautiful also.

My city is in what's called the East Bay here (it's a pretty huge area -a couple counties). I'm pretty much at the very eastern edge of it. You could probably go one more city inland and still consider yourself in the East Bay, but two cities, and you're definitely out of the Bay Area.

When I go to southern CA for Christmas I spend time at my uncle's in Costa Mesa, and my older sister's in Santa Ana on the edge of Garden Grove. My young niece is going to be getting paid to sing a solo in the Crystal Cathedral's Glory of Christmas this year. Oh, also, I grew up in Tustin myself.

I keep thinking about how your hubby would fit right in in my family. My mom and all of her three brothers are Leos. Strange to think about every kid being born the same sign. Their parents are Sag and Pisces.

Hope you don't mind that I'm shoddy, ill-tempered, smell of cat litter and shuffle around mumbling about the government in my fuzzy pink slippers.
