I knew someone on a different site who made up a whole new persona.

The screwed up part of it was that she befriended her best friend in rl with this persona, so had different emails/msn address etc. The new persona was so different that her friend had no idea.

When it all came t light I think the friendship ended over it all.

No idea why she did it. She said that she just wanted to come across different to the way people perceived her. Bit sad really.

I also knew someone (I didn't know any of these people in person btw just online) who was quite open about the fact that only about 80% of what he told people was true. His view was that considering he was unlikely to ever meet any of the people he talked to it didn't really matter if some of what he told them about himself was made up. Have no idea to this day what was true and what wasn't, apart from the fact he claimed to be single and was simoltaniously arranging to meet up with at least three different women while he actually still had a live-in girlfriend at home. .

so i am now officially authenticated

possibly

RoccocoFlourishes · 07/08/2008 18:25

I am namechanging frequently at the moment, to avoid detection (!) but that is quite different from having different personas.

filthymindedvixen · 07/08/2008 18:29

Zippi! Are you real then? Thank god for that, I thought I had an imaginary friend in that travel lodge....

zippitippitoes · 07/08/2008 18:30

Is it CV-licious?
just seen your other thread, fingers crossed this one does the trick .

filthymindedvixen · 07/08/2008 18:37

Actually pruners, I worry people take stuff at face value on here and will think I'm a big fat pants on fire....

For example, I often say we are skint. Which is true. But then people will see we have a boat and think ''lying, lying fecker'.

But we were given the boat. It is a very ramshackle, scruffy old narrowboat. We cannot sell it as we have no money to do it up, so hence, we have a boat!

ThePettyandIllinformedGoat · 07/08/2008 18:46

you have a boat you lying lying fecker!

i don't discuss money on mumsnet as it consider it extremely boring vulgar. actually i don't think i ever post anything of consequence.

zippitippitoes · 07/08/2008 18:48

oh my life i am sure sounds equally implausible

it even does to me

Mercy · 07/08/2008 18:48

All I can say is that I'm not doing the Christmas gift thing again.

(with apologies to the people who organised it because you did a great job))

I don't believe that cod is really against private schools

RoccocoFlourishes · 07/08/2008 18:54

Yeah it's all a lie, every word I've ever typed., I'm not really a single mother on benefits!!

I'm actually Sophie Wessex, but that's just SO embarrassing I invented the single mum thing so I mingle with the masses.

Cammelia · 07/08/2008 19:06

Sophie, d'you ever think your dh is just a little bit gay

RoccocoFlourishes · 07/08/2008 19:11

Yeah the children aren't really my husband's good gracious no. One is Harry's. He was 15, drunk on Pimms, up for it, I needed sperm ASAP.

The other one is James Hewitts. I wanted the children to look alike.

Andrew is gay too btw. That's the real reason he and sarah broke up. Well, bi-sexual. That means he'd shag anything. sept sarah, arf arf arf

ThePettyandIllinformedGoat · 07/08/2008 19:13

thank you vixen for proving my point!

(liking the dr zeusz thing, i feel a name change coming on)

llareggub · 07/08/2008 19:16

yes, zippi is indeed a real life lovely person, who is indeed rather gabby but in a very interesting way.
