I am running away from reality, as fast as i could.
and trying not to look back, so as to prevent my eye from tearing.
Four people residing in a brain...
Wednesday, July 1, 2009
"In us there are always two natures at war; one good and the other not." I believed in this line very much and even went ahead and wrote a philosophical essay-ish length of post a year or so ago as to how this kind of duality exists and is very obvious when one has to make a choice. It was very romantic way of writing things and at one point of time I really liked it. Now, well, its a different theory altogether. I think there are at least four people living in my head. Here is my classification:
a) MB: (my initials) A professional, workaholic, caffeine addict, little rude, cynic and err...a total bitch when it comes to getting work done. The other three that reside the head are kind of weary of her attitude. She comes off as snob (she is a little actually), arrogant (that's a definite yes) and very cold and clinical. She is vindictive and the other three dislike that trait. At office she gets along with people who are either sadistic or sarcastic or both. She likes horror cinemas, industrial rock music and plays sudoku in spare time. Her favorite past time is solving cryptograms. She reads psychological thriller and Dean Koontz is her favorite author. She also likes work by Mary Higgins Clark and Stephen King
b) Sookie: She is this nice person who writes decent stuff, prone to being preachy when it comes to off the tangent subjects and cannot handle hard core drama very well. Her response to comments for her writing is always positive and is very accommodating when it comes to critiquing. MB thinks that Sookie is too soft and little idiotic to expect comments for the stuff that she writes. Sookie has always managed to scoff off the cynicism sported by MB as a choice of expression by people who read her work. She likes 60s music, jazz and loves watching action cinema. She spends most of her time reading poetry. Frost and Poe are her favorite. She also reads fantasy novels and science fiction.
c) M: (my name) The person to who people go to for advice or just talk. She is a good listener and give a crying shoulder when they are unhappy. She is the person whom people get to meet for the first time so she is constantly guarded about the way she speaks and the way she acts. She keeps MB and Spookie at an arm's length since they keep playing devil's advocate with her all the time. She relies on Sookie's wisdom to come up with right answers and occasionally take help from Spookie to keep a conversation light and flowing. She and MB seem to have some kind of understanding which is beyond knowledge of Sookie and Spookie; they think its the bias against their names. She likes instrumental music, piano especially, anime, suspense thriller, classic cinema and loves origami. She reads classics - be it drama, fiction, historical, she is game.
d) Spookie: Author of this blog, sarcastic, cynic and think that the above three people are simply wasting space in the brain. She knows the host of the brain where she resides mostly takes M's decision most of the time and she is not happy with that. She is the reason for migraine that the host is currently experiencing (even when writing this post!). She loves alternate rock, punk rock, carnatic classical, indie movies, cartoons, graphic novels, sci-fi movies, B-Movies with cult status and a huge fan of learning new languages. She reads anything as far as it makes her forget her perpetual migraine.
Here is what Spookie thinks of the other three:
MB: If you look closer, you can actually see horns on her head. There are momemts when Spookie is heard mumbling - "Retract your claws lady, he/she is simply asking an innocent question."
Sookie: She is a sap. Period. And its high time to drop the "serene girl" act. Spookie had to withheld herself from punching Sookie when Sookie is being really sweet and understanding.
M: Though most rational of all, she is the main reason for Spookie's migraine. M can be the main reason why the host's brain doesn't prefer Spookie's advice. Though they make wonderful conversation, Spookie somehow always remains in the sidelines. M has often said that Spookie is like a shadow queen. (As in Spookie is actually running the show and making everyone including M believe that its actually M who is running the show. Shrewed and cunning, that Spookie.)
Thats it people, for now. Once the three of them review and argue with one another relentlessly, maybe this post can be updated for accuracy (read: nice things only).
