So, I had to give this a break for a bit. Basically I was out of ideas and was working more on the class project stuff, but I've started back up again, so I can have a final result and wrap things up before finals. My friend, who knows about the project, told me that she liked the idea, but didn't think I was going far enough-- she says it won't work if I'm just on facebook like I normally am-- I need to get in peoples' faces and get them to pay attention to my alter-ego, and then see if people can tell that this person doesn't exist. So I'm stepping it up a little-- posting random links, joining every group I can think of, constant status updates, etc, and we'll see if this fake persona is accepted as real.
But you know, through this class I've been looking at a lot of the reality TV that's out there, not to mention a lot of the craziness on the Internet, and it's caused me to wonder: how far is too far? I mean how utterly absurd do you have to be before people start to think "no, no real person can possibly be this way?" I've been watching some Jersey Shore and other shows like that to get ideas for our movie we're making, and I honestly would not have believed that people like that actually existed. So where's the breaking point? Where does it cross over into madness? What is reasonable anymore anyway?
I'm keeping at it for a few more days and will keep updating this blog with observations. Until then...

Oh, on a side note, my cousin found me out. She wasn't friends with the alter ego, but she was looking through my "disappeared" account and flat-out asked me "are you trying to pretend you don't exist?" She's always been good at calling my bluffs though, so I'm not surprised. I had to delete her wall post though so other people don't catch on.
