Ah, the internet. Where else can you simultaneously discuss comic books, Google's impending collapse and your deepest hopes just by tabbing between chats? In person you can only have one face at a time. Online, you're basically one messy mood swing. You can console a friend who lost a grandparent, while cracking political jokes just one conversation away. Doesn't that seem rude? Can we concientiously express sympathy in one window and feel entirely flippant in the next? Do we confuse ourselves when we are deeply spiritual with one person while ranting about LA's traffic to another?
Can we be true to ourselves and wear these many faces at once?
i can't do that...usually the deeper/darker/sadder conversation takes over and I'm unable to keep up with the bright and light convo going on in the next window. seriously doing two conversations at once is a stretch for me - even if they're both in the same mood...

Dude if you can do two differnt personalities simutaniously I want to know your secret...
