| integral | hi perly! |
| perlygatekeeper | hey Chris, hey integral |
| perlygatekeeper | dabreegster, don't know you do I but HEY anyway |
| perlygatekeeper | what's been up? |
| dabreegster | Ignore me, fine. |
| * dabreegster | goes in a corner |
| Chris62vw | dabreegster is the man, man |
| dabreegster | Ah, that's better. |
| rindolf | perlygatekeeper: yo, yo, yo, dude! |
| perlygatekeeper | rindolf!! |
| rindolf | perlygatekeeper: what's up? |
| perlygatekeeper | hmmm |
| perlygatekeeper | not much |
| perlygatekeeper | you? |
| rindolf | perlygatekeeper: fine. Let me recall what I said to ezra. |
| rindolf | perlygatekeeper: I'm fine. Got into a few flamewars, and escaped alive to tell the tale. |
| rindolf | perlygatekeeper: worked a bit on my story "The Human Hacking Field Guide". |
| rindolf | perlygatekeeper: (which, BTW, you appear there (as your IRC nick at least) |
| rindolf | perlygatekeeper: and now working on the Computer Graphics section of my homepage. |
| perlygatekeeper | rindolf, what the hell? |
| rindolf | perlygatekeeper: excuse me? |
| perlygatekeeper | rindolf was that someone pretending to be me? |
| perlygatekeeper | I never said those things |
| rindolf | perlygatekeeper: it's a fictitious story. |
| rindolf | perlygatekeeper: relax. |
| dabreegster | perlygatekeeper: or you could be the imposter right now... or maybe just schizophrenic. |
| rindolf | dabreegster: MPDed not schizophrenic. |
| rindolf | dabreegster: schizophrenia is not Multi-Persona-Disordered. |
| b0at | perlygatekeeper: It's fan fiction from your fan! |
| dabreegster | rindolf: what's the difference? |
| rindolf | dabreegster: MPD is when there are several personalities living inside your brain. |
| rindolf | dabreegster: in schizophrenia, you have one I-ness, but hear voices, hallucinate and stuff. |
| dabreegster | rindolf: Ah. Why is it considered a disorder? MPD could be quite useful... One would have different perspectives on a subject. |
| perlygatekeeper | where's beth, she'll know it's me |
| integral | But how will we know it's beth?! |
| dabreegster | rindolf: Oh, I have MPD then, not schizophrenia. I don't hallucinate. |
| dabreegster | integral: WE DON'T! |
| b0at | I don't hallucinate, but my other personality does. |
| dabreegster | How do I know all of you exist? Am I just a figment of my own imagination? |
| dabreegster | b0at: Interesting... |
| rindolf | dabreegster: Julian Jaynes describes schizophrenia very well in his "The Origins of Consciousness during the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind book". |
| integral | no no, you're all just figments of _lilo_'s imagination |
| dabreegster | rindolf: I'll check it out |
| b0at | he wishes |
| dabreegster | integral: and you? |
| perlygatekeeper | the voices tell me if it's really beth or not |
| dabreegster | perlygatekeeper: The voices tell me everything. |
| dabreegster | Wait, I do have the Voices. Maybe I have MPD _and_ schizophrenia. |
| b0at | Ah, but the question is: do the Voices have voices? |
| rindolf | dabreegster: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Origin_of_Consciousness_in_the_Breakdown_of_the_Bicameral_Mind |
| b0at | And if so, is it your own voice? |
| dabreegster | b0at: And do the voices of the voices have voices? |
| b0at | That's just going too far. |
| dkr | don't worry, those are angels, invest in tarot cards and you will be able to understand them |
| dabreegster | b0at: and if it's not, then could it be the voice of........ integral? rindolf? or.... buu! |
| b0at | buu has other plans for our empty skulls |
| dabreegster | b0at: and if they do, then what do the voices of the voices of the voices of the Voices sound like? |
| integral | *sob* it's the cabbages. The cabbages keep telling me to do things |
| Botje | really? most of the time it's the socks that tell me stuff |
| dabreegster | integral: The lawn gnomes tell me. They're........everywhere...*sniffle* |
| integral | *blubber* the socks are worse, there's moths living in them |
| dabreegster | The lawn gnomes tell me to stay away from Life. They force me to write poetry. |
| dabreegster | integral: *whispering* are the _moths_ the Voices? or the voices of the Voices? or the voices of the voices of the Voices? |
| * dabreegster | goes back to reading |
| integral | *looks furtively around for moths* |
