Social Networking is Hard
Saturday, December 31st, 2011 10:35 pmYikes, I just posted something fannish on FaceBook. This here is supposed to be my fannish space, and LJ was supposed to be more of my RL musings (which are rarely being mused these days). FB is just the place where I keep in touch with high school people, my extended family and local events hosted by RL friends.
It's not the end of the world, I just said I enjoyed "The Help" and also mentioned that the woman who played Hilly (Bryce Dallas Howard) is Ron Howard's daughter. And then the squee thing came out: "She has his faaaaace!" I dunno, it's just that we have a certain language in fannish circles, a certain way of expressing ourselves, and I try to keep that completely separate from RL.
I guess it's kind of ironic, given that my online persona has been "fullygoldy" for 10 years, and it was supposed to signify me integrating all the aspects of my life into one whole being. Sigh. I was soo a pollyana at the time. I was going to be OUT about being poly and bi! That was just before I was introduced to slash. I'm pretty sure that talking openly about my slash habit in front of my Mormon relatives (who I mostly love and adore and don't discuss religion with) or my Catholic in-laws would probably result in a few disownments. And the poly thing is just not open for discussion at all anymore. SO. Separate sites for separate aspects of my life. And yet I keep posting more RL stuff here (because my LJ flist has pretty much defected here) and now my local fannish friends are posting fannish content on FB. Doh!
