Hehe I got recognized by a fellow Specktrette tonight at the mall...
And unfortunately I forgot to get her s/n, so if you're reading this it was nice meeting you and you're adorable!
But yes, that's about the 5th time I've been recognized as being on Specktra or MySpace. It's kinda cool, it makes you realize just how small the world can be, or just how huge the internet is haha.
Anyone else ever get recognized?

That's exciting!
Yes, and I very rarely post my picture up but I did once a long long time ago and some chik on MUA recognized me. She chased me down at a mall in ATL and was like hey hey aren't you youbeabitch? (I was that on MUA before they decided they didnt like my user name :P LOL) and I was like, yes now who are you? and they told me and yeah that was the end of it.

I've been spotted in Sydney CBD a few times, usually when I'm wearing the jacket that I have on in my av. one girl said that my nose looks smaller in real life.

I am determined to remain anonymous.  I've had my internet fame and want no more of it.

And it was funny cuz it's happened to me times before, and people are always commenting on my make up, cuz i have pictures on my Myspace, but they always catch me on a day when I'm in my grubby clothes with no make up on lol.
So I guess I don't wear too much cuz I'm still recognizable without it lol

I think some people have seen me from Myspace but won’t approach me. *shrug* I’m not mean. But maybe I didn’t accept my professor’s add request because he acts like he has a grudge against me. Lol. Oh well…

i've never had anyone come up to me and acknowledge that they recognized me, but i used to have 3,000+ "friends" on MySpace, and when i'd go to shows, i'd hear people sometimes saying "hey i know her on MySpace!" it was kind of strange...but i guess that's what happens when you accept add requests from anyone and everyone hahaha.
i don't think anyone lives near me who's here on Specktra. there's one girl on here (i don't think she posts anymore) who lived in San Bernardino which i where i was born and is about 10 miles away from here..
more Riverside people need to join Specktra!

That's so cool that happened.
For professional reasons, I choose not to let a lot of information online float around, including photos or my first name. I don't think I post anything that's terribly bad or embarassing, but you never know how someone will interpret it.

hahah that's true.
Then again, I don't generally go out in public where I know people from the internet hang.
You'd be surprised how many people from the online world know me. :/ blergh. Comes from, I suppose, being 'online' for the better part of ten years.

haha "Top 8" has become a running joke with me and my friends.
"Shut up, i'm taking you out of my top 8."
"Whatever, you weren't even in my top 20!"
it's the best.
