Light Fiction

generic update on my life number 1 (unless you include my one or two music blogs… but whatever you picky bastard).

The point is that i just set up my ‘public sg account’ and i realized “hey! i really like creating personalities for myself” i have no idea what kind of psychology this is reflective of. Oh wait, yes i do. Narcissism. i just love talking about myself. A lot. Not even about myself really, since profiles aren’t really ‘about’ you so much as they are alternate web-versions of yourself. i would say avatars except that the concept of an avatar is that it is a true embodiment of what it is incarnating. And true/false does not really apply in this circumstance (even by way of lie of omission in case you’re thinking of going there, because who you appear to be to the world is not who you really are anyway, so a further limitation upon the ideal, while is suppose you could argue that it is less ‘real’ in a platonic sense, is only less ‘true’ inasmuch as you associate truth with platonic reality [something which we have been tending away from since the inception of the scientific renaissance])

you know? anyway, i’m tired and drunk and don’t really know where i was going with that

p.s. Jan 18, 07: i have since come to loathe setting up online accounts. If i make one, shouldn’t that be enough? Maybe i’m less narcissistic, maybe i have better things to do with my time, or maybe setting up this website is just the most current incarnation of this old desire.
