Starting a Personality disorder

It's weird. I've started referring to my online persona in the third person: as in "The Kraut thinks" or "The Kraut will talk about that..." when stating what I'm going to write about to my girls (my wife, daughter and puppy: yes, I talk to my dog about weblogs.)

But it's amazing to think about how you can compartmentalize some of your thinking processes into a seperate entity. In the dream I detailed here I really did introduce myself as Raging Kraut and not by my real first name.

So that leaves me with three distinct personalities-

• Ray- the guy in the real world


• Raging Kraut - the wannabe witty guy writing this blog


• and Helmut - the insane German chef that inhabits the kitchen and harasses passers-by with profanities and silly accents.

Of course many of my friends would say that I already had several personality disorders from long long ago...

Real or not, it's a cool story...

I've added "she's a flight risk" to my blogroll. There's debate over whether or not this blog is real, whether she really is a young heiress on the run from her Michael Corleone-style father...Nonetheless it's an interesting read, and if it is a hoax it is a well-written one.

It poses an interesting question: Can someone on the run be able to reach the world without giving away their location to those that hunt them? Be they jealous ex's, the mafia (sorry, there is no mafia...), or the state- wouldn't there be a way for the hunters to find them even if those on the run were the most computer-savvy person on the planet?
