I jus realized how SMALL the world is on the internet. I've been conversing with someone for a while, but we just realized that there's a good chance that we do (or rather, will) know each other in real life. I've always enjoyed the anonymity of the internet, so it always suprises me a little when my online life infringes so closely upon my real life.
It also drives home a point that so many of us miss. What we do and say on the internet can have an effect upon our face-to-face interaction. We may think that all of this exists in a vacuum, but it doesn't. People WILL pre-judge us based on things like livejournal, or MySpace, or whatever forums we post online.
