I suppose part of it is a cultural thing... Just when I think I'm used to the language differences, I start reading the journals of one of "you brits" (*grin*) and discover how much I don't know.
Another part is a sense of age separation... When reading through your journal, and especially looking at your pictures, I feel so much older. :) College is a very long way off for me, and it was, it appears, a very different experience for me.
Then there's music. I get to you through others who have you as a friend, and everyone I read has music I don't know by artists I've never heard of. That is, I suppose, a direct result of my following friends of friends pages, and not searching based on shared interests (which is by design, I hasten to add).
Not that any of these things are bad, it just lends one the sense of "otherness". Another thing I find amusing is how often, looking at people's profiles, I am totally puzzled by what a particular interest they've noted *is*. :)
Anyway, I'm pleased as punch to meet you, and I'm looking forward to learning more.
