happuness is more than a more gun

I don't think I can be mad at the people who create myspace profiles for their favorite characters and things of that nature. I've never done it. I always created a new character for whatever story I was reading. My narcissistic side refuses to let me take disregard the opportunity to graffiti my personality all over someone else's work. But this isn't about me. This is about them.

I can't get annoyed with it. I can't say it's stupid. It's sort of, in it's weird way, character building. These people are taking what is already a halfway developed person and then forcing themselves to fit into that particular persona. Most of the time, (I'm slightly sure) they go out acting like this character, and I don't mean cosplay, I mean these people actually want whatever people say about them to be, "Oh, I know, you know Bella, I mean, Tanya....". But this is why it will always fail, the persona cannot hold its shape:

The experiences that this "character" goes through in life does not and will not mirror the actual character's. Those experiences will shape the persona into something different and eventually, at some point, they will realize that they are not that character and they will go on with some shattered remains of personality, mold into something original (as cliche as it might seem to whoever, whatever) and be better for it.

I can't feel anything more than some sort of respect, (mild respect) for them. It's one thing to change your name and behave as if your life is a particular story. It's another entirely to take a character many (more or less) people know and have interpreted differently and boast proudly, "No. I'm right. You missed this point here." THAT takes balls my dear friends. And that is why I can't dislike the little 14 year-old Alice Cullen in Morgan Hill, that Myspace seems to think I would like to add.
