Online persona

We had this assignment for film class before but I guess I got the wrong instruction. I was supposed to write a profile of some sort for myself but I wrote about Skyllo, my online persona, instead. To be honest, I rarely say "I am Skyllo" when I'm online. Most of the time, it's "I'm Jamie." There's something odd about acknowledging that I am this Skyllo person even if I use the username a lot. Weird? Hmm maybe, to the point I can make a comparison between me and Skyllo. Creepy is more like it?

• The moment I wake up in the morning, I just think to myself, "Oh it's morning." The moment Skyllo wakes up in the morning, she asks herself, "What great thing are you going to do today?"
• I ask for directions. Skyllo barely does; she gives them.
• Skyllo has an air of arrogance around her. I don't feel the need to discuss humility because it's hypocritical to do so.
  
• I cry. Skyllo just gets angry.
• I stay quiet but blow up eventually. Skyllo just says empty threats all throughout.
• I get sad. Skyllo keeps herself busy.
• Skyllo is smarter than me, or maybe we both are, but I just don't give myself enough credit.
• Skyllo sets deadlines. I can wait.
• I can admit failure. Skyllo does not talk about it.
• I remember. Skyllo moves on.
• Strangers are just strangers to me; nothing more, nothing less. Skyllo observes oddities in strangers, then writes about them.
• Skyllo is sure of her ideas. I like getting second opinion.
• Skyllo thinks I'm a competitor. I think she puts unnecessary pressure on herself. I'd let her "win" if she wants to.
  
• I think Miley Cyrus has nice hair and clear skin. Skyllo thinks Miley Cyrus is a cunt.

There's more, actually, but I don't feel I have to write every little thing to make a point. Annnnnd, this is not definite, not at all. You think Skyllo will just settle with my analyzation?! I don't think so. She'll find ways to prove me wrong! That's how much of an ass she is. I can't figure out if I like her or I hate her. Perhaps it's both.
