Ambiguously Gendered Revenge of "What is the Hivemind?"

I've mentioned it before, but it deserves to be brought up again. My boyfriend one time made a persona for himself to use in a chatroom he and I both frequented. He made up a past for her, got her an AIM account, signed up a couple email addresses for her, and went to town. 'She' impressed everyone in the chatroom, making friends with the females and being begged for pics by the male members. I thought I'd found a great new friend whom I could talk to about roleplaying stuff. She even sent me a little artist kit, when I told her that I was interested in learning how to draw.

A few days later while she and I were in the chatroom, in a private message, he told me the truth. She continued talking to the other people like nothing had happened.

I was pretty hurt. His persona came in another provate window and apologised for not being real. Turns out, he was a little hurt, too, because I'd seemed to like his persona more than him. He'd made her that way intentionally, a perfect match for me, but he was still a little hurt. It was a very wierd experience, and he promised to let me know in advance if he ever intended to do anything like that again.

He never told the others in the chat.

I still kinda miss Ari.

In front of 50+ you said? Did it rock?
I performed twice today, actually. The first time was great, the second I messed up a bit but it was okay anyway.

Wow. I get so nervous when I do stuff like that; then afterwards it turns out nobody else notices the mistakes.

Did you play the same piece both times? Were you solo? Blam blam blam!

Yeah, same piece -- first I had a recital for a class then there was the Honors Recital an hour later. I was more nervous for the Honors Recital, so I messed up. Also, I had never played with that accompanist before and he started before I was ready and... every performance has something go wrong, y'know.
