So tell me...?

Two things have been on my mind lately. It’s been more than a year since I got into the world of chatting and needless to say, it does get u hooked. Though over time, the fascination does wane. I would chat using a pseudonym…like I think many of us do. What I found very interesting is when I signed onto a popular friend’s network and just for some fun I had signed in through both my regular, true id and through my alias. In the former I put in all facts and in the other of course I was considerably vague in revealing any definite identity. Most of the requests I get are for the faceless id…so I asked a question to a good friend of mine as to why people were keener on getting to know my pseudonym and not someone real! And let me just state here that I kept some things honest and ditto for both…I mean the fact that I’m married with a kid blah blah blah! And the answer he gave me was quite interesting…he said that in the true id I came across as a finite person…people could see this is what she’s about and she’s real…as real as it can get. Whereas the pseudonym could be anybody…she’s infinite…there’s an element of mystery…which gets people curious. And people would see her using their own imagination and that could be …. So vivid! Hmmmm!!... Well, that was the first thing on my mind and I think he helped me understand it.

The second one is a question someone else asked me a couple of days back. He asked me is Blogging addictive??? And this question I’d prefer to throw open to people who care to visit my space…esp. the serious and regular bloggers there. I just got here…u guys have been at this for a longer time and it would be interesting to watch the answers to this one….
