Boredboredboredbored

You know how bored I am? Yin is gnawing on Aidan, is how bored. (Shi seems to like to pick on Aidan. Rhiannon, in this case, though shi picks on Darkangel a lot too.)

Yes I am entertaining myself with the antics of the voices in my head.

Bored.

Maybe I should just go to bed.

Exploring multiplicity.

There are 111 people on my friends list.

Of those, there are eight that I am aware of who have some form of multiplicity. That is, there's somebody else keeping them company in their heads. Whethere completely separate personalities, or characters with a life of their own, or aspects, or whatever.

That's 7.something percent. If you count me, it makes it nine out of 112, so it's actually 8.something.

That's a pretty high percentage, really. Even if you take just those who seriously identify as multiple, there's at least four.

And I may not even know of them all, since I don't know everyone on that list well, and it's quite possible to be very quietly multiple. Textbooks tell you that Dissasociative Identity Disorder (the current "proper" term for multiple personalities,) is perishingly rare.

What I think is that though Dissasociative Identity Disorder may be very rare, Dissasociative Identities are not. It's merely that most of us are completely functional, and there's nothing wrong with us, so we never see the need to get treated for it. Though I probably still can't quite qualify as Disassociative, I'm too well integrated. I'm too much of a single person, really. The only voices that are even anywhere near being their own personalities entirely are the Aidans, (though if they were, I think they'd be just one, with two aspects of his own,) Yin, and Guardian.

If you all can't tell, this subject totally fascinates me.

Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!

It came! Just now! Glee! It is just as stunning in person as I'd hoped!
