All In The Family Of Me

A long time ago, my friend Holly introduced me to the concept of my inner-dork. "Embrace your inner-dork" Holly would say. And I did. But as I got in touch with my uber-dorky-badass-self, I discovered there was a whole family in there - all of whom were begging to be embraced - or at least acknowledged.

So now, let's take a walk through my effed-up mind & meet some of the gang, shall we?

• My inner-dork: He's the one who guffaws at the dumbest joke ever. In FACT - it's not even a joke... it's just a frigging punchline. That's right - all I know is the punchline, but thanks to my inner-dork, I laugh anyway. And what is this punchline? "Well, you may be livin' off love, but you're killing the chickens." If you know the rest of the joke - please pass it along. Thank you.

• My inner-geek: He's the gadget-freak... the must-have-that gizmo or doodad waster of so much of my cash and time! He's the reason my blog had to move from Blogger to Movable Type. He's the one who's dying to make the leap from Movable Type 2.661 to MT 3.0, but listen you little sonofab!tch, it's really a developer release. You can WAIT.

• My inner-idiot: Sometimes I'll have words come out of my mouth & while the rest of my inner-family shouts "What are you THINKING?", my inner idiot is bobbing along with my mouth "La la la LA la La!!!!" Whatever. My inner-idiot is often heard saying things like "Yeah, I can do that!", "I know exactly where you mean!", and the ever-popular "I'm just making one small change... I don't need to save my work." Oof.

• My inner-romantic: Mmmmm... he is my friend. We watch Amelie together, and we like it.

• My inner-genius: What can I say? Sometimes he even impresses me - though he and idiot duke it out every now & then, and it's more action than my head can handle at one time.

• My inner-artist: He likes to create things & tends to go overboard a lot. He designed Jalpuna and robsdemo, along with several other sites. He loves audio and he enjoys color-schemes. He's currently debating this whole blue & brownish thing and wants me to turn jalpuna.com into THIS [just a picture - nothing's functional]. I told him he can do better, & he sulked away, muttering nasty things under his breath... but I bet his next draft will indeed be better. Much better.

• My inner-adventurer: He convinced me that this was safe to walk accross, and that this was safe to swing accross... but hey, he hasn't gotten me killed yet. All in all, we've had good times together.

• My inner-philosopher: He creeps out a little too often, and he takes several hours of my day every time. I've learned it's not wise to discuss politics with him even though we tend to agree... He just needs to be more realistic sometimes.

• My inner-time-waster: He's forcing me to type this thought out now instead of getting the hell out of here... holy crap! I'm running late for a friend's grad-school graduation party! Gotta go - even though my inner-shy-guy keeps reminding me that I'm not going to know anybody there except for the host... Grrrrr... and I didn't even get to introduce my inner-obsessive-compulsive.

  ...Maybe it's best that I don't.
