About Your Humble Blogger
Lately, a lot of people I’ve talked to have been surprised that I am not a singlet. Frankly, I don’t mention my system a lot, because none of them are interested in writing for this blog. However, allow me to clear this up.
I am the host of gateway system, wherein most of the members are soulbonds. That is to say, they came in from external sources, and have some interest in meddling with/contributing to my life. They are headmates. They are not kintypes, facets, or shifts. They are all complete, real people with their own opinions, emotions, hobbies, interests and histories, that are not mine, sharing my mind and body.
Originally I co-hosted with another headmate who was called David. David was not a soulbond or a fictive. David had shared this body with me, more or less, since we were both born in it, though we went through cycles of dominance, and being more or less aware of one another. We finally became unable to avoid one another’s presence when other people (fictives and bonds) started moving into the body. Together we maintained a small system of headmates for a number of years. The both of us, as well as them, were active on a shared livejournal at the time, and somewhat active in the multiplicity community at the time.
Around 2010 our system went through an ordeal, a time where we were all in heavy flux. David ended up vanishing, and for quite a while I thought he had gone away altogether. It has since been made clear to me however, that the two of us finally integrated in a stealthy way, with myself being the dominant persona. Given the combined closeness and enmity between us, it was probably a good thing.
It took a while after that for our system to ‘even out’ again, and for a while I was pretty much the only one in the body I was aware of. It was strange, frankly. In the last few years however, things have gone back to ‘normal’, and as I said, I currently host a system, mostly of soulbonds. We are fairly numerous, however, with few stable frontrunners.
For the curious, here are our main front runners. If anyone is curious to talk to them, some are more or less inclined to chat.
