A few weeks ago I finally heard the story about JMFDM's evil twin. Well, not evil, but his twin nevertheless. And maybe I'd heard about it before, but this time it was entertaining enough to remember it. Anyway, being the kind of person I am, the other day I followed up by spontaniously having some fun at John Unmartino's expense. That's the kind of person I am.Standing on a Pei balcony and seeing him walk by, I yelled out 'John.' I knew who it was and had no plan. Then, when he turned, I had to pretend like I was all confused that he wasn't demartino, and that I'd never heard about the twin, and that this twin had the same name--while really this was all I knew and was constantly in my mind--and also pretending that John I is someone whose attention I would try to get while he is walking away. Still, John II seemed used to it, if not resigned to it, and so didn't notice. I should find out who his roommate is; perhaps it's an evil twin of me! Or a good twin.
But there hasn't been such a fun case of converging idendities since hunter/hunter. In fact, a conparision of the two situations is in order:
Which I am not going to produce because I'm too lazy and tired and hungry and would have to do the tables manually. And it would objectify people who I know and occasionally interact with. By the way, regarding the lazy and tired and hungry, this article about behavior change from the Washington Post is worthwhile; I printed out a copy so I can add it to the pile of self-help strageties I've discarded.
