by which i mean a sort of switch-mode personality, rather than the sort of multiple personality now referred to as dissociative identity disorder.
mine, obviously, is my monkey persona. i've actually found this allows me a very high degree of freedom from my past experiences. because they're not a part of this persona they don't impinge upon it as they do my normal persona. and i can find myself slipping into this persona almost seamlessly, without even trying. i even find myself thinking in monkey speak, which is a sort of rather truncated and simplistic english. the really great thing about my monkey persona is that it has an innocence that i've long since lost. monkey is carefree and happy go lucky ... and more than a bit cheeky too. basically, all the things that i never really was. however, there's one thing that monkey shares with me ... though he'd never admit it - when he has to be he's very clever - monkeys are much too modest for that.
