Something I do...is it weird?

[Grish]

I noticed recently that I subconsciously assign "real" names to almost everyone I run into online automatically. Does anything like that happen to anyone else? Do you suddenly find yourself thinking of CutiePie35s as Brittanys and whatnot?

[BehindSmile]

Hmmm I can't say that I do but it actually seems pretty cool that you do it automatically. I'm also not creative at all, do you consider yourself creative? Maybe its part of how the creative mind works!

What do you see my name as?

[Nightriser]

No, but I start relating them to people I know in real life. (In fact, a tiny voice in my brain often suggests that the person is someone I know from real life.)

Yeah, but do you get the feeling that Shai actually is the guy you work with?

BehindSmile: Yeah, I suppose I can be pretty creative at times. You might be right about it being part of a creative process of some kind. And to answer your question, probably...Amanda?

Nightriser: Hmm...I would probably do that, too, if I knew more people.

StarryNights: Jean.

nahh, I think I'd KNOW of he was. Although, now that you say that....

[mcgooglian]

I remain impersonal to everyone I meet online, I don't know why. What name do you view me as having?

[Shai Gar]

Still paranoid that I'm a guy you spurned at some point in the past?
