For people in real life, To know my actually thoughts and feelings. I "disguise" myself around other people. Even ones who are close to me. The only one who has an idea that I do this is my dad.

Online. Well. I never really communicate frequently with people and my "internet friendships" never seem to last.

For some reason, people are always shocked that I've only slept with two men in my entire life. Apparently, I give off the "been around the block and knows her way around a bed" vibe. Although, the second half is true, lol... ;P

And I'm terrified of balloons. No, seriously, I have a crippling phobia of them and it's made things awkward during a number of celebrations and parties. :S

This is because balloons are the devil's work. I sympathise completely. An ex of mine decorated the house with balloons for one of my birthdays and I freaked the hell out. Bloody horrible terrifying oh god why do people think they're fun things.

That... also pretty much covers my answer to the OP, apparently people are surprised to discover my animosity towards children's party favours. Other than that, I'm very open about all aspects of my life with my close friends, so I doubt there's much that would shock them. As for friends who aren't so close/acquaintances, well, they're not close friends for a reason - so I wouldn't share what I consider to be intimate details with them.

I was diagnosed by a psychiatrist as a sociopath when I was 12.

Honestly, I didn't care much >__>
Um.... You can't diagnose a child as a sociopath.

But yeah, I'm very quiet IRL, despite my apparently bubbly online demeanor.

I dropped out of high school and got my GED a few years later. My score on the GED was enough to get me into UNM without any further testing. I have at least one friend who still thinks I'm full of shit when I tell him this.

I attempted suicide once. Obviously I wasn't very good at it. When asked about suicide, my usual response is "Tried it, didn't like it."

Yeah hockey does that to ya.
Yeah, I tend to enjoy the cold as well, but maybe that's because I live in Hawaii and it doesn't get super cold like in the mainland...

I actually can't stand super warm weather; I have been to Hawaii once and I did love the weather there. But I am too used to a moderate, random climate for that. Plus, hockey in Hawaii would just feel weird, sorry to say :p

I'm 43, but people who meet me in real life never guess because of my youthful looks and demeanor. I just got told on Saturday that I must be 25, by two women no less- who tend to be better at judging age than men (in my experience). It also helps that I happen to like stuff that young people tend to like... such as Anime, Manga and the like.

And I am never as happy as I seem inside. Sometimes, I pretend just to pass for values of "Normal".

I have an eating disorder and in real life the only people who actually know that are my parents and my brother. Most people think I just have weird eating habits.

I have 2 degrees. One in Visual Arts and Applied Design, another with a split major in philosophy, psychology.

I'm a boilermaker/engineer. I work amongst a rough crowd... and wear a scratchy beard, which makes it look perpetually unintentional.

Don't judge the book by it's cover. ;D
