A Fistfull of My Own Avatars

Nov 17, 2004 12:06


Saw Identity the other night.  Multiple personality sydrome is always interesting, even if fictional, as Joe says.  Made me think about what would happen if I fissured myself, what particle entities, what avatars, might fly free, find land and walk on their own.

Before, I have been

I wouldn't even wanna delve that deep.I go through about fifty different tones and moods in about that many minutes.

Dang Dude! With my own need for slow pacing, an hour in your head would prolly leave me feelin' all shaken and rattled! I could not cope with going that fast!

I travel in a granny hoopdie ... . :)

Just an hour in my presence destroys most people.

Well, I can just hang slow and back myself and let you spin like a top if you wanna. I sometimes get in a manic (JumpingMonkeyChild) mode where I'm bouncing off the walls; when that happens, though, I'm usually far from intense, just plain silly.

I often feel like The Outsider, stared at with a mixture of suspicion and awe.

And I think you'd be right, Bub! :)

What was your classification with that social assessment meme we took? Seems to be similar ... :).

i'm pretty sure it was 'the outsider.'

I will give this some serious attention in a few weeks when I'm free of obligation. But already I'm giddy and inquisitive. Do your avatars communicate with each other for example... I'm not sure if mine want to know each other!

Cool, Fella! I'm itchin' to see how your insides talk about themselves. :) I'd think -- the way you think -- this might make some sense to you.

No, I don't think my avatars speak to each other. I am somewhat integrated and have another avatar that facilitates them all, I think. Unfortunately, he is the Hand-Wringer, the Worrier, drawn of face, a snivelling and nervous overseer. I think I need to demote him and hire a new fella in middle management. :)

The characters assigned the name "Nemo" all have escape as their connective trait. It is a name that I chose carefully, for it is applicable to several of my Avatars ( ... )

Wow! Absolutely incredible! Nemo: I love the way you unfurl words; I love the way you word yourself! Odd and wonderful how I start by seeing of each of these as mythical -- you know, golden caricatures -- and how by the end of their description, those caricatures have fleshed out and I see them as fully you.

Yeah: For sure: I recognize you here.

"Downstairs of the wrong century"? Yaay! :) I need to run to the cellar, find some jarred fruit, dried root, some rusted piece of machinery ... .

Wanna let Dreaming Boy and Jumping MonkeyChild have the treetops some day?
