Aww. *petpet* I'm wondering if, like... okay, so you're surfing through teh_intraweb, right? And I'm wondering if you think of the self you project into the internet world as you, as Sachi, or if mylittleredgirl is just a little part of Sachi, or kind of like Sachi but not really, or... does that make sense?
Actually, I have to say...that I didn't understand the poll either...but maybe now I do. I think. ;) ANd in that case, I'm me - as usual. I guess I just think of myself as someone who's so many different things at a time that people must find me confusing, that's why I want to lable myself as a collective...when in fact you might find me very normal and just a person? I'm tired, can you tell? ;)
Well! I was kind of wondering if you think of thousandpages and sage_theory as... are they the same, or different? Two different personas? One of them more real than the other? *wonders*
Apparently most of the entities who found their way to this poll are people. *is slightly relieved*
Huh. That's a good question. They're kind of like names to me. And when I get called a certain name, it's like I'm being told to bend a certain way.
Still me, but when I'm thousandpages I'm Real Life Meg of the School Work Home Drama and Nonfen Existence. And when I'm sage_theory I'm all about the fen and slash and I write fic and I respond differently because if I'm sage_theory it means the context in which I talk to people is different.
But everything is still me. It's just...me in different shapes. It's like "Meg in bed" or "Meg drinking coffee" or "Meg in class". But all Meg.
I don't know that anything describes it right.
Although, to be fair, I also have identities and psuedonyms under which I say I'm a whole other person. Not in the dissociative identity sense, but in the sense that it's a nom de plume so I can write things that I think those who like/read/respond to thousandpages or sage_theory wouldn't agree with. Or because I just don't want the people I'm talking with to get close to my True Identity, which is Meg. If I don't know/trust/care about them.
So I say I'm Susan from Colorado or something. I know I'm not. It's like a throw away, single serving, one size fits all temporary identity. I'm playing a part in an improv play.
But in all of this, I guess I'm still Meg.
Wow. This is turning out to be more complicated than I thought.

This is an interesting little poll.
I think I'm a person. Or am I persona 'cause this is on the 'net and not in real life?
Huh...

Darn you and your thought provoking!
