Revelation of the day = Subconsciously I might have identified myself as a manic depressive
I thought I'd have a look at fellow Tweedledee/dums online - starting with the blog names that I tried and weren't available - for a comparison. What sort of people are Tweedledees and Tweedledums? Can I draw any sort of conclusions about 'our' personalities? Do our blogs have anything in common? Some of the search results (after googling related words and guessing at blog names) are in the list towards the bottom of this page.
Interestingly, a number of the blogs with Tweedledee/dum in the title seem quite old, the last postings are dated and there is little information on the pages in general. So there doesn't seem to be much longevity in the identity name. Does this mean Tweedledees and Tweedledums have short attention spans? (Thom's certainly thinks so - he's named his fish Tweedledee and Tweedledum). Are people more inclined to choose jokey, fictional character names when they're just looking to experiment and have a bit of a play rather than create a blog/identity which is longer lasting? (try santaclaus, batman or bugsbunny followed by blogspot.com and this observation seems to ring true).
Pretty much all of the blogs I got to by googling Tweedledee/dum (although not necessarily in the blog name itself) were a bit on the pessimistic side. I've an identity buddy in Singapore who identifies herself as perpetually depressed. A number of gay guys compared the difficult relationships in their lives to that of these opposing twins. Postings talking about Tweedledee/dum often referred to George Bush and state of the Republican party in the US...
I'm wondering if it's it too late to change my online identity?
