It seems like my online self is distinct from my real-world self.

whereas online I'm all about cute anime characters, multiple exclamation points, and emoticons, in the real world, I yam much more serious.

I don't make random outbursts, I am less cheery etc.

Do I have two distinct dimensions to my personality?

Is my existence online happier than my existence in the real world?

If I had a choice now between living only virtually, via websites, IM, my blog etc.. or the real world... I'd choose the real world... but only after some pause of thinking.

All of the interesting things I do occur online, not in the real world.

I have friends on the real world, but my interaction online is much much more interesting... long IM conversations etc...

This is another symptom of the singularity kids... this pause... this "well, I want to keep my online existence..."

I won't be the first to upload my mind into the matrix, but if I lost my legs or was on a breathing device, I'd definitely do it.

and by that time, hopefully we'll have super high-res stereoscopic jpegs that turn circles around real world vision...

help, we'd have 360 degree vision and other stuff.

Let's just pray that the Singularity is a moral singularity, and not abused.
