I'm still working on my short story - The Closet.
It never occurred to me my fascination with altered egos until I flipped over the last page of Murakami's Sputnik Sweetheart. A long time coming this book was. And now it suddenly made sense.
1. I organise a monthly gig called 'Doppelganger' (duh)
2. I keep 8 email addresses
3. My alter ego resides as Girl Gungho at post restante - the web.
4. My other 'half' lives in Sydney while she is consciously happy in KL.
5. I'm a Piscean with a rising Gemini. That's two fishes swimming in opposite directions accompanied by a set of twins. Hence the four characters in 'The Closet'.
Beam me up, Sputnika baby! One thing though which Murakami deferred on on the topic of Doppelgangers. {{{{{{don't read this if you've read the book and intend to}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}She didn't die after seeing herself. Her hair just turned white. Can't wait to re-write and re-write til I get it right. 'The Closet' is posted here.
