This is an ideal situation – people on LJ like/dislike us by what we say and think, not how we look, smell or how rich or poor we are.
For me, that's definitely why the internet is *love*. That, and I get to meet all types of different people. I think if I disliked someone on the net, it would be because they're rude or abrasive over poor/smelly/size/etc.
Like you, the downside to living in Australia is never having the opportunity to meet most of my friends! Most of whom are American.
I had a journal before shadowserenity and that was for communicating with friends I knew that had an lj (not real life friends, though. My encounter with people I know in RL over the net has been incredibly bad because they all seem to talk in netspeak and riddles). This account was originally for BSG fiction until I found the H/B people. On my previous account, I had *horrible* trouble writing in my lj even once a month. It was a pretty pink, however.
