The Surreal Life.
It's a good sign you are, a. spending too much time on the internet, b. socializing in really, REALLY nerdy circles, c. in serious need of a more anonymous pseudonym, when you go to a party in Los Angeles and over the course of the night three different people you have never met before say to you in surprise after learning your domain name, "You're The Mighty Jimbo!"
It's both a little flattering and a little weird.
I guess I should be grateful none of them followed up with, "Gee, I though you would be, a. better looking, b. funnier, c. less arrogant, in person."

Do you find it a bit strange when people know who you are by sight and you have no clue who they are until they tell you?
Standing in line at walmart I hear someone behind me say. "Magenta, why arent you at work?" I turn around and have no clue who they are. Having a webcam people know me yet I dont know them. Ive had that happen several times, at work, out for a walk, anywhere. One guy wouldnt even tell me who he was, he waited for a few days then emailed me to tell me, waiting for me to figure out who he was. Personally I really didnt give a shit, it more annoyed me than anything and I havent spoke to him since. Just my thoughts on the subject :)

I wasn't put off of meeting you until that day you started going on and on about being yuppie scum, and all of that shit about vacationing in St. Tropez. I suspect that you are a pretty judgemental, snobby person, but you keep it to yourself for the most part. At least you did with me.
But I don't count really because I kill those who ridicule me.
