I realize that since I started this blog some two years ago the readership has expanded beyond the 4 or 5 people I had initially meant to stay in virtual contact with. Those 4 or 5 know who they are.
One thing that I've always been hyperconscious of is the fact that my "voice" is not exactly typical and/or appropriate for any of the personas that I have adopted. I'm not your typical New Yorker (although I come close from time to time), nor do I possess the soulful equinimity of a yoga teacher, the easy cynisism of a corporate MBA twat, the Long Island inflected drawl of a designer shoe obsessed sample sale junky, the pseudo-academic nebishness of a community college lecturer etc... etc...
I always wonder if this lack of consistency ever surprises those individuals who have only known one of my personas.

he he he he....you said twat. it's your lack of consistency, that makes you consistent - and I have to say, also one of my most beloved friends - as it takes one to know one.
"the easy cynisism of a corporate MBA twat" - wonderful!
