I use handles to explore certian aspects of my personality to a finer degree than I do in everyday life. When I first came on-line as Broome(the child), I thoroughly explored a world of imagination and pretend. For months I used Broome to explore fantasies, play out make-believe and the stories in my head. With her also comes many of the actions of a child, however, and I find I use her less and less as time goes by.

Persephone is another, given to me by a friend with a keen interest in mythology who saw a likeness between us. With Persephone I explore my graceful side, which I don't have much of, and so I do not use her often.

Emotive is for the select few who are unfortunate enough to see my drama-queen mood. Emotive is the queen of trajedy and romance -- an emotional little cookie.

Liz Wenkler, a rarity, is for my mischevious and cocky side.

Tyler is the controlled one, and really encompasses the personality traits I admire most in myself. She is imaginative, and yet she is mature. She is better at biting her tongue than all of the rest, and is generally more relaxed. The name Tyler is one I love for a girl. It's very Tom-boyish, and yet it has a sense of style to it. When I was fifteen I decided if I ever wanted a pen name it would be Tyler Beauvais. There's something about the faux-Frenchness that appeals to me.

I am not schizophrenic, nor am I trying to manipulate or trick anyone with these personas into thinking I am anyone but myself. They are merely parts of myself I enjoy focasing in on in different forums. I am prone to almost constant introspection, and love psychology and sociology. I also love literature.

Its sort of a great experiment, where I am my own subject.

Hey, it's better than TV.

Regards,
Tyler
