Oddly enough, I met Claire online through LJ before meeting her in class-- which wasn't that terribly weird, as I've also met my roommate from last year and two other people first on the interet and then in person. Still, it's interesting as I respond to many of her posts and she to some of mine, but I still don't even see her much in person.

Anyhow, I decided to sign out of my LJ account to see which entries were unlocked on Claire's journal (and to see where I commented/what my comments looked like without my normal paradigm). It was rather interesting- yet I still don't want to just tell people my identity on this forum (not that it's too hard to find which one is me) because my blog isn't a complete and holistic expression of me, but rather a slice with many strange deviations, which is probably not the first "social" interaction I would like people in the class to experience. I mean, there's reasons I join groups (which show up on my profile) that have very little to do with the group itself. However, I feel that I mind less if people stumble across my journal, figure out it's me from the information they're given, and then ask questions or say hello.

So, I guess I don't want to be limited to the "blog" me that I create, rather than your choice (Louisa) to limit people from seeing the "blog" me instead of the real me.
