What is Multiple Egos?

Ever since my first webpage, which was cobbled together using MS Word because I didn’t know HTML back then, I’ve maintained different sites for my different selves. Denning @ LiveJournal for ‘regular me’, TimeRunner for my inner web designer and (gasp!) fanfic writer, Bugoylandia for my law student self, and other, more obscure sites for my other, more private selves.

It had to stop sometime. I’m littering the Intarwub with my disorganized crap.

So here it is. A place for my many different selves. My multiple egos, all in one place.

Heaven help us all.

It’s not a new idea; well, not a brand-new idea anyway. Robert Anton Wilson and Grant Morrison and others have been telling us about it for some time now. What if the individual is the crock? What if instead of singular egos, we are actually complexes of egos, that we have Saints and Serial Killers and Philosophers and Children and Kings and Chimney-Sweepers in our heads, and we’ve been fooling ourselves by thinking that there is only just one of each of us?

I’m tired of pretending there’s just one of me. (Should that be, “We’re tired of pretending there’s only one of us“?) That’s why I have so many blogs, it turns out. Every single ‘me’ has something to say.

Well they can all do it here from now on.

That’s what Multiple Egos (or as the Punster put it, M-Egos) is about. At least, that’s what it seems to be about at the moment.

I could change my mind at any moment. Literally.
