virtual me

well this has been done to death, really, just about everyone's in the Simpsons now...

But I must say, my South Park self looks kinda fun, don't you think?

I also have other avatars floating around the place, some in games, some just because I could do cool things making up another character.

What is it that is so compelling about creating another version of yourself, whether idealised or just for fun? We do this in fiction, in art, in music... is it a yearning to be more than we are, or different than we are?

I just always thought I'd be cool in South Park.
