  This really has little to do with what you wrote above, but has a lot 
to do with where else I've heard it.  This statement above sounds a lot 
like Londo in "Signs and Portents".  This is about the fourth or fifth 
time, I'm sure there have been more, where I've heard your characters 
voices welling up through your messages.
  You must be one deep, complex person to have all these different 
aspects of yourself that you pull out and use for your characters.
  I'm in awe, envious . . . and a little frightened.

Yeah, that line kinda blurs sometimes...they're all somewhat different
pieces of myself, peeled off as necessary.

"You must be one deep, complex person to have all these different aspects
of yourself that you pull out and use for your characters."

Or deeply schizophrenic.

:I'm in awe, envious . . . and a little frightened."

You and me too, bunky....

Actually, a tad more seriously...we all have these aspects, it's just
being willing and/or stupid enough to do so in front of people, or when
writing.  And by virtue of being Eastern European in my origins, I tend
toward the morose to *begin* with, so it's all downhill from there.
