It's been awhile, but we're not blogging (okay, technically this constitutes blogging, whatever) ... because we had a tough day (switching stuff...:-/) and we've been drinking some wine, and we just don't have the energy to be interesting in more than 140 character bits, if that (and if you ask the right ones of us they'd tell you that we're not that interesting anyway).
Tough day? Yes. We'll be writing about it, and so will James (@mr_jmm), probably. We're lucky that somehow we've found a really understanding boyfriend, who is okay with us being us, and who claims to love all of us; we're also glad that when he goes back home for a month in a few weeks we'll have our support group, and our friends and entertainment that is Twitter (and some of us will be happy for the solitude, and time to just be with each other...hopefully we find a job by then though)
In the meantime feel free to read some of the stuff that's been posted in the last few weeks (which we haven't had time to add to the archives of "highlights"), and our 'Recommendations', which are posted below the next paragraph.
If you want to learn a lot about Multiple Personality Disorder/Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID/MPD) this blog is a good place to start...we'll be writing soon (with any luck) on an important topic regarding what has been occurring on Twitter lately more and more which is the "alter ego" phenomenon of Twitter accounts...which should not, NOT, be confused with Multiple Personality Disorder/Dissociative Identity Disorder, a "severe" mental disorder that starts primarily in childhood due to traumatic events/experiences. Sam (he's one of us) has written about it in the past, how pissed off about the jokes he gets, but we plan on approaching it from more of an educational and comparison angle.
Anyway, read, learn...or don't...whatever. :) Cheers!
