I TAKE MYSELF SERIOUSLY, AND YOU SHOULD TOO.

But yeah, I've used all of these - except Ramona the shark woman (just a reference to all these sharks lately) - as my personas (personae?), some on Tegaki, some in icons, etc. etc.

I'd rather distance myself from ... myself. So I use characters to interact with people instead of making a character based on myself since that'd be one hell of a waste of a perfectly good character design. Yeaah.
