In the past, various bloggers have posted on how potentially different our respective personas can be on Xanga as opposed to real life. And I've had occasional discussions with fellow Xangans on that very topic.
I mean, how do we know that certain people aren't really who they appear to be here on this online community.
Some may totally wear their hearts on their sleeves and would be horrible as actors sort of like Keanu Reeves attempting to play an undercover FBI agent who used to be a college quarterback in the flick, "Point Break."
Or some have the creative ability to convincingly play a variety of roles a la Robert DeNiro.
Which one are you?
I mean, for all we know, bricker59 could really hate beer and be an organic health food nut that only consumes fresh produce and natural antioxidant drinks like pomegranite juice.
Or npr32486 could really be a real estate developer?
Or istephaniemarie could really gag at the sight of oreos?
Or snippies_blog might really be Dr. Ruth Westheimer?
Or BigToePeople may really play basketball for the WNBA's Seattle Storm?
Or a__beautiful__disaster could really be a petite blonde that rocks a bob hairdo?
Or dare2bdiferentt might really be skilled as a computer hacker?
Or watersedge62 could really be asian?
Or infamous_dewey might really be a European MMA fight promoter?

Or toecuttah may really be Arizona Cardinals' Kicker Neil Rackers?
Or penningtonhall could really prefer to run long distance marathons as opposed to lifting weights?
Or lucywrites may really be a commercial pilot for Continental Airlines?
Or story_slut just might be an unfriendly troublemaker who hated people?
For all we know, The Xanga Team could be a Columbian Drug Cartel.
Maybe saadiaonline really despises poetry and is a professional beach volleyball star?
Or krissy_cole is really single with no kids living somewhere in Montana?
How about the possibility of da positive energy jaynebug really being a quick-tempered firebug, who exhibits road rage the moment she's behind a slow-moving vehicle>

What about ifwallscouldtalk21 really being a Ohio native rather than the Michigander that she allegedly poses to be here on Xanga?

Or what if beli_grrl was really Eli Manning?
Or what if seedsower had her husband take all of those beautiful pictures she blesses us with?
Or maybe ciaobella810 chose that name because she really wasn't african-american, but rather a mobsters' daughter straight from sicily?
Or what if suggestive tongue was a professor at an Ivy League University?
Or what if barelyjen's real first and middle name both began with the letter "z"?
Or what if viktorious1 was really bernie madoff?
Or what about ilsurvive really being from antarctica who hated jagermeister and embraced frigid temperatures?
For all you know, I could be a bald, skinny-ass, 7 foot, 11 inch vegetarian from Belize, who hated sports and listened to nothing but celtic music 24/7.
There are secrets about our real life identity that aren't always -- or will never be -- mentioned here on Xanga. How do we know how you really are fellow Xangans?
Hmmm.
Dang, why'd I post this? Now I got myself all skeptical about all you'all and what not...
But I will close this blog entry with a request...
State ONE true fact about yourself -- in the comments area below -- that you have never mentioned here on Xanga.
I dare you...

Haha! We just never know, do we? Go Trojans! oops

very clever .....lol
ps - I must be true to my name, I'm not there. V
Hahaha! Okay, sorry but this post made me laugh!
It does make you wonder about what people try to portray on line. This was an intresting topic that realy makes you think.
"Rocks a bob do"?
I have no idea what that means but my hair is definitely not blonde. I did try it once but it just wasn't me. Red is me. I wouldn't call myself petite at 5'5 and 130 pounds either.
I do think we can't really know everything about anyone. We know what people want us to know - here and irl.
Great post!
You got me - I confess! Except I got expelled from middle school, so I blog between homeschool lessons and orthodontist appointments.
All that and more my friend. Seriously, I'm human, but I like to write so I share the pieces of my day or my memory that I want to write about. Don't most of us? I have been known to yell in my car at an idiot driver who never heard of the pull out lane, and I think that shows in my manner and style of writing. In truth about the space though..we can be whoever we want to be. The kind or the outraged. Who indeed are we as thinking people each day. As I say in my profile, I bring the new me of the day and keep heading in the direction of my best self. (tosses some fairy dust gently on the reader, takes a deep breath and smiles)
"Or thetheologianscafe is a boob-hating hare krishna?" Or not really an ephebophilic freakshow?
LOL, you never know....I do happen to be Chuck Norris, good guess!!!
@antisoccermom - LOL, I suppose I am now your token chuck norris friend lol... I'm actually not sure what the big deal about Mr. Norris is, he seems to be everywhere nowadays.
Sheesh, how did you find out? Bet you didn't know I am a Nun as well. <3
@AlterEgo909 - as long as you can still kick ass, we are good.
5-eleven Did you know how epic this post would be?
@antisoccermom - I can do a little butt kicking if need be lol
Well,he did but the new camera for me.
I'm actually a kickass guitar player in a famous rock band and just pretends to melt faces on Guitar Hero so that people think I suck at playing real guitar and aren't wise to my wealth and constantly ask for money.
It's a hard persona to fake, but I do it.
OK OK! I admit it! I AM A NINJA! Yes I know...it's hard to believe, but I am. My ninja outfit is greet and pink. Now you know. *sigh*
I am actually a 60 year old, vegetarian, ex flower child, member of peta, and a atheistic gay rights activist. Did I mention that I am a gay man?
no, no. you've got me all wrong.
i'm actually Barack Obama.... and i approve this message. i just stole some EXTREMELY HANDSOME man's picture, and used it as my own.
omg, he's so good-looking. what.
HA.
I'm... known for my boyfriend? Great.
Or what if I got bored after five of them and scrolled down to comment about my dissatisfaction.
@Kestryl - Like all women, you're defined by the man you serve.
@LeftWristTwist - Whatever, housewife.
