This Cath person sounds like fun. I want her to be my bestfriend.

I’m going to my first blogger meet-up next week. I’m soooo exicted. I’ve never met other bloggers before. I actually don’t read many South African blogs though.

Yeah people are kind of surprised to learn that I’m actually kind of shy…. no issues for a shrink there AT ALL…. Actually I’m only shy around certain people/strangers…sometimes….it may possibly be a bipolar thing…or a gemini thing…but yeah…some people render me mute. sometimes. ah fuckit. Someone said to me once “I didn’t think you’d have such nice legs…. Ok then….

ExMi wishes she was 1.74m tall, dudes. She’s probably around 1.6 or so.

I’m 1.45m and proud of it

Agree.

How tall are you Sheena?

I think it’s the same with people who you speak to through work etc, always on the telephone, for years, and then you meet them one day and it’s so weird to reconcile the actual person with the picture you always imagine. Well that’s how it always is for me Voices conjure up pictures and it usually doesnt match up.

Exmi – 1.74m is tall!

Exmi, there’s no way you are 1.74m. That would mean you are taller than me which is unlikely unless you walk around with tomato boxes strapped to your feet.

Totally agreed!!
I think the perception it has a lot to do with people’s presence online. When someone has a “big” presence in their writing, you almost expect them to match their personality in stature.
I have been blown away more than once when meeting someone I got to know online.

When people that have read about my rather checkered past and the type of work I have done they won’t believe I am the guy they read about. I am a compact chap, weigh in around 57kg. It amuses me that people think life is like the movies and the characters in real life should fit in with Hollywood. I wrote about my experiences in Angola and call it The Chronicles of a Mexican Horse Thief, I am South African and not a thief! This confuses them a bit more. :}
