I'm pretty different from you I suppose because I still endeavour to keep my boxes 100% seperate from each other. It actually makes me a little bit sad, sometimes, because I enjoy writing so much. Still, writing was a big taboo when I was growing up so I suppose that it's kind of ingrained by now. The very fact that I sometimes MENTION stories I'm working on in my lj unflitered is a big change for me, honestly.
The only exception I've ever had for that fandom-life/real-life rule was when I've met girls who I knew already had the same interests as me. My self-censure impulse is really high with everyone else.
I suppose that what I'm saying is that I see it as a luxury, having people who know everything that I do. It's nice to know that I can be scientist!TP and artsy!TP if I want to. Clearly I'm both, right? Truthfully, I sometimes envy the fact that you seem a little bit more comfortable hoping between boxes than I do.
And, if I sometimes call you, drak, or sabe by your first names, it's probably just the result of me having known you ladies for so long. In my head, at some point after you'd ladies had rescued me from yet another omg drama-llama moment in my life - or we'd had enough random conversations about not!fandom things - it just sort of slipped in that you could be cendri/liz in my head. But, I think I might understand how you feel. I really like my little moniker of T or TP. I suppose that I'd never really thought about the names we use for each other that much.
Also? Enjoy not having class. It sounds like you need a day off (or at least, a day not in lecture).
