draegonhawke.livejournal.comThis is just a little computer doodle I made--thought it might be a good design to add slogans and mottos to. Of course, it's a first draft, and it could use some refining; it could also use different combinations of figures to incorporate females, nonhumans, etc. Thoughts? Comments? Critiques?

Multiplicity Animation Project
Oct. 27th, 2005 04:24 pmwingedwolf-2004.livejournal.comI am doing a short animation on the topic of Multiplicity and what it means to me, to others and how it is looked at by the medical community.
If anybody has any stories, fears, art, poetry, automatic writing or anything or the sort that I could have permission to use and look at in my sketchbook please can you email me at roxiehusky@gmail.com. Also if anyone in a multiple system would like to talk to me via email I would be very happy to reply and make new friends, as would my system members.
Also what is the name of that Anime about a girl with multiplicity, and does anyone know of any films/documentaries I should look at?

The End of the Icon Saga
Oct. 27th, 2005 11:55 amidianshire.livejournal.comAwhile ago now I posted about making icons. I swear I am never volunteering for anything ever again. I had to redo them so many times. The first time I did them they didn't work because of tripod's bandwidth, then I got my own domain, but because they weren't square, I had to write up the code to keep them in a file, got some of that done when we saw ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kasiya_system icons, and people here thought that was so cool they wanted me to make them all square. I agreed because it was better than having to keep the code and show everyone how to use it everytime they wanted to use an icon. And when some who probably will never write saw that there code be a page with their icon on it, they wanted that. The most annoying part was doing the selection thing so they were square, but the whole job was tedious. I tell myself I need to work on that compulsive/stubborn streak, it is borderline pathological, because although I just wanted to give up so many times, I sat here over the last few days and kept doing them, luckily no one else had plans so they didn't get pissed at me for being obsessive about it. But it's done now, all 412 of them, we still need to find pics for about another 100 people, but that can be someone else's job.

joys of multiplicity
Oct. 24th, 2005 01:22 pmidianshire.livejournal.comOk so we now have our own domain, and decided to make little icons, like Jenilee of kasiya_system suggested to use as signatures. They all seem to work really well. But here’s the deal. Originally we thought we would do a couple, for the people that write online the most, here or in email. It sounded responsible but no, that will never do. It seems everyone that has found a picture that closely represents them wants their own icon. Ok I thought no big deal, that will work, it doesn’t take much time to icon up their pictures. But then I found out that I needed to do the correct width/height code for them all. So now I sit here typing up a file full of icon code for 429 people. It’s tiresome and tedious but it appears the only way to stop the constant nagging is to do it.
I am beginning to think there needs to be a coup in our community that appoints me as dictator, or at least a rampage of killings that will bring the numbers down. I mean LB is so young she doesn’t know how to read and write, so tell me why is it so important she also has an icon
I so love being multiple
Oh but I get to be the first to use an icon

Oct. 16th, 2005 11:33 pmidianshire.livejournal.comOk so it's late, and we have taken a sleeping pill and we are all feeling pretty damn mushy after a weekend of intense school work, so excuse me this doesnt' make that much sense.
Lately we have been hit but the issue that although we are almost completely out as being multiple, most people in our life still interact with us as one person. We miss the relationship we used to have with friends, who could tell us apart, or at least the ones they had spent the time to know and the other ones were treated like new and interesting guests into their home. That friendship crashed and burned when we found out that we were being used financially and sexually by them. It is good they are no longer in our life, but we do miss that personal individually recognised relation. Now with the people that do know, that accept it, there still seems that it is this mushy clump known as Shire that is recognised and talked to. Shire is always just the name we use in the world, it isn't any specific person. I do believe that some of this problem comes from us, we also use the Shire as a name to hide behind, a safe and easy way through sometimes complicated communiciations. Especially places like here and in emails where often it seems more a joint effort than one person speaking thier mind. But it still means that maybe part of the problem is that we don't allow many people to really get to know us as individuals. I miss it, most of us with a few outspoken oppositions miss it. Hiding our multiplciity has become second nature to us, but we still struggle to allow ourselves to be seen as people, or to not just be the person the other needs us to be.
So in a fit of boredom we thought by creating icons of us all it would somehow make it easier at least here to identify ourselves. This is slightly been shot down because I am only allowed 3 icons, and one is used as our default, so that leaves two of us to be identified. Now it isn't liek we all come here and talk, but there is usually more than 2 people interested in contributing to this site. I'm still trying to think of ways that would make us being allowed to or comfortable with showing ourselves separately. It is years of condition to overcome

Geographic locations?
Oct. 16th, 2005 12:42 amsethrenn.livejournal.comI was just playing around with an idea tonight that I'd like some feedback on...
I remember that when we were working on Pavilion, there was an idea at one point to do a directory of multiples by geographical location. We never really had enough people involved to make a very extensive one, but I'm wondering if any significant portion of this group would be interested in listing their locations. I found a service that allows people to put their names on a map here.
So, interest...? You wouldn't necessarily need to do anything with the information-- it wouldn't mean you'd *have* to meet up with anyone in your area, for instance; it might just be interesting to see the geographic scope of the community.

Community icon
Oct. 6th, 2005 04:05 pmfayanora.livejournal.comMolly and I thought Multiplicity needed a community icon (you know, one that shows up on the user info page), so together we made an animated gif for that function. It's only 24K, so you can use it if you want for the community:

Aug. 31st, 2005 07:05 amex-visual-sy218.livejournal.comI just transferred to a new/old college. Meaning, I've gone there before, but I'm in a new department. I'm a photography major, for those who want to know.
So far, two of my classes have mentioned plurality. Like, multiplicity. We were just given a passage written by Jorge Luis Borges, which sounds suspiciously like a plural writing about another in his system. It's dramatic, but he clearly states that there's "another Borges" within him, who is responsible for the literature he creates.
Exact quote from Borges: ...the stone eternally wants to be a stone and the tiger a tiger. I shall remain in Borges, not in myself (if it is true that I am someone), but I recognize myself less in the books than in many others or in the laborious strumming of a guitar. Years ago, I tried to free myself from him and went from the mythologies of the suburbs to the games of time and infinity, but those games belong to Borges now and I shall have to imagine other things. Thus my life is a flight and I lose everything and everything belongs to oblivion, or to him. I do not know which of us has written this page.
It's the last line that gets me. The two of us who front are constantly blending (heh, new term for me), and writing for each other, and there have been times that we weren't immediately sure who was speaking or writing. So, the passage stuck out to me for that very reason.
Discussion on this passage is supposed to follow in one of my studios. But, besides that point, we've discussed plurality before in my classes, as a supported method of creation. In other words, they don't care if we're loony*, and in fact, they want discussion on how loony* we are. For this, I'm really, actually pretty greatful, because it gives me a RL community where we'd be supported. I'm pretty god damned tired of having the internet as my only outlet.
This leads me to my question: How many of you are artists or musicians or "creative people"? I'm curious to see if there's a prevalence of right brained people who are also multiple.
*Disclaimer: use of the term "loony" is for humor purposes, only and need not be taken in offense.

pilgrimchild.livejournal.comWear a different bracelet for each person who is fronting!
Get one for everyone inside with their name on it!
Go to my website, Butterfly Beliefs---> http://www.butterflybeliefs.com
and read the butterfly story, and BUY SOME JEWELRY OR A BOX.
All I want to do is make enough money to continue to put gas in my car
All my stuff can be personalized to how you want it.
Get one for each person inside.
Yah, I'm trying to sell my jewelry online, and that's the gimmick I am using for my websites that i post on for people who are multiples . I personalize all my jewelry to how people specify (some people want "Peace", others want names)... I'd be happy to give discounts if you order 5 or more bracelets at a time. :)

laurenthemselfI was reading the comments on this entry about communication within systems, and I had a thought... just a vague one at this stage, but hey, I'll settle for vague, since I rarely have very solid thoughts.
I was thinking, because of the way multiplicity tends to be presented in the media (as a Bad Thing), and how integration is seen as the only way to 'cure' this 'disorder', and also that it's 'always' caused by abuse, what if people here wrote their own stories? I know some people wouldn't be able to manage a whole novel, but even short stories would be good, and maybe (it's a very long shot, I know) we could try and get our work published.
Even if you think this idea's crap, would you ever try writing the story of yourselves?

Jun. 25th, 2005 02:07 amszczur-system.livejournal.comAfter talking to Kat of enigma_system she and I have decided that someone should make a bumpersticker that reads:
YOUR OTHERS ARE NOT YOUR EMOTIONS.
This is after/to educate people who excuse their outbursts by, "Oh, I'm sorry, that wasn't me, I'm happiness, that was my cousin Anger/Depression/Sarcasm..."

eridanusus.livejournal.comWe was talking on szczur_system's journal about the MuC and they said it would be cool to get a whole heap of people to do it and make icons from it. Kinda like we did, in fact. Just because it's incomprehensible and looks cool. :)

hi I'm new here
May. 1st, 2005 01:44 amforest-house.livejournal.comhi everyone,
Just thought I'd say hi. I haven't been diagnosed with anything, and I'm not sure what to consider myself at this point. I've always been aware at some level of being a 'we' but I don't have a history of major trauma, and I don't fall under the category of MPD/DID. Am I a natural multiple perhaps? I have no idea. All I know is that there is more than one person in here and various people are in control of the body from time to time. I didn't know until recently that other people experience life the same way, so I'm interested in talking to others who are this way or similar.
It's late so I hope I'm making sense here!
Looking forward to meeting you all.

Mar. 29th, 2005 05:12 pmkarma-silenced.livejournal.comToday was mostly a therapy day. We took a nice walk. We drew some pictures. It was hard getting the scanner up but we did it. :) Here are a few of our pictures. Our scanner is bad, sorry...
( Yay )
I didn't scan mine because it's not very good. But anyway... I think drawing was very good for us, especially the little girl. Kira is making rules for everyone. Kira is the only one that Yuri "respects", so I think she will listen to her. :) Plus Matthew, my brother/best friend, said we lost weight, so she is happy about that.
Love,
Kat
