Which Chess Piece Are You?


Mm, they're right about me being soppy. Sexy, no. The thing about this quiz is that the choices aren't the ones I'd choose. I suspect that's why Nick's results are totally off. Also, I have a fairly different personality online from offline (though I'm NOT a schitzo like Rob says I am), which is why those personality tests we do in psych piss me off.

*start Psychodynamic Introspection here* I have a better sense of self esteem online, so I say less stupid things online because I don't feel afraid of expressing serious opinions. This also makes me seperate both of my personalities quite fiercely- I don't want people online knowing about my offline life because they might think less of me knowing that I'm a Dorky Chinese Fat Girl With Glasses. I don't like people offline (not that much, but more like my mom or something) looking into my online life because they might shoot down my actual opinions, which gets my mom to complain that I always hide what I'm doing online from her, and she asks me why, and I really don't know because honestly I'm not doing anything *wrong*. This disjointed behavior is reinforced negatively by the fact that whenever I express a serious opinion on my blog nobody comments, and also whenever I tell my mom what I'm doing, she says it's a waste of time. It's reinforced positively because Nick B laughs at me, encouraging me to be outgoing and funny in real life and Forumers have encouraged me to be rational online, saying things like I've "never lost an argument", I'm the only sane person there, and that I'm a good person to have a discussion with. My theory is supported by the fact that when I call people from the Forum, where I basically do philosophical debates all the time, my behavior drastically changes with the offline contact to be more ditzy.(/end psychodynamic introspection)

I don't know what this blog is. It's sort of an extension of my offline life since all you people who read this know me anyways, except it's in text so I can talk more and all I want without people asking me to enunciate, and without me saying something inane every 30 seconds like "MOO!" because I'm talking faster than I'm thinking, like Tamar.
