After spending a happy hour writing on my foras.
We are all schizophrenic. How? Well, be honest, how many logins are people usually using for all their foras, emails, myspaces and such? If it's always the same - cool, they only have one cyberspace personality on top of their real life one. If it's two or more and they have different avatars as well and maybe slightly different styles of writing - cool, they're like me and thousands other web users.
Here's a music forum where you will spend hours going into detailed discussion about your favourite song, here's a general discussion one where you admit, that sometimes you don't listen to any music for like days, here's an email from your science fiction obsessed pal with whom you blather for pages and pages about possible futures and there's your myspace profile in which you admit you don't really think much about what future holds for you. Here you are perceived as a geek, there as a party addict, somewhere else as a family guy.
Meh, of course you can say it's all the many sides of the same personality, but come on, let's go the whole way and call it what it is - we are all clinically insane. Thank gods for internet where we can safely indulge our need to be ourselves. And it is not only normal it's part of the net culture. So hows you today? And you? And you?
