I'm not going to let that thread get to 200 replies.
Right so in BSG spinoff Caprica they manage to recreate someones's personality from the data they've left behind.

If you suddenly got amnesia do you think you'd be able to know what you were like as a person from all your posts on here, emails, texts, recorded phone calls etc? Or are you more than what you say?

Alt question: Do you think you'd like yourself if you didn't remember your personality at all?

If I was created from emails, texts, etc, you'd be able to get pretty much every aspect of my personality
Except for the stuff I try not to dwell on tbh.

If it was created by you lot, I'd likely be the most emo person in the world. You bastards.

Alt Q: I think so, when I'm not being a complete bastard, I'm quite a nice guy.

I think there's very little about me that isn't recorded somewhere, and probably the most important parts are recorded.

I'd say b3ta has a fairly accurate representation of my personality, over my posts and gazzes.
Emails would look like I do nothing but shop, and phone would tell you that I call no one. So, fairly accurate.

And of course, taking this post into account, it just proves I'm deathly boring.

If it were solely from the posts on here,
I fear I'd come across a fairly unpleasant individual. And a colossal bender.

Fortunately you've allowed for emails and text messages, which probably show me in a better light, overall...recorded phone calls less so. I'm not very good on the phone.

Usually, baking helps me calm down. I don't have enough time to bake what I was going to do (honey granola) as it requires too much cooling time and I need to catch a train in 4 hours.
But on the other hand I am fat, and making something sweet and quick to take back to my housemates will just mean I'm making myself fatter.
