I'm a twin and people keep asking which of the two of us is the evil one. So I guess my alter ego is the good one. :devil:

You must join the 'Sistahood' so that I might be able to respond appropriately to a statement like that. (I've been warned about collateral damage.)

Alter ego? I don't have one of those. I'm brainstorming and nothing good's coming up. Zen monk? No, I don't have the communal monk demeanor. Street thug? Well, it might be nice but probably not. Musician, maybe a pianist, but that would probably not be so different from what I do now anyway. Maybe I could have been a charismatic cult leader.
