I dont have one, but if I did I would totally admit it when it got old

If I had one, I would play it until someone guessed it was me.  Which would probably be like 10 minutes.

Abbie - an AE means alter ego. Many people make up fake names and play around on the knot. Some are mean, some are dumb, some are funny, some are lame. It is really in the eye of the beholder.

I wouldn't. But I don't have one. Promise. Like I said, I'm not smart enough to have an AE.

abbiewebster

ok thanks for the explanation .....

I don't have one, but I would probably confess all V6 style, after a long time has gone by. I don't know how she pulled that one off for so long!

I wouldn't for a while.  Then once I got tired of it I probably would own up.  I don't think I'm creative enough to sustain an AE for very long.

No darling, you mixed that up.. You're smart enough to not have one.

I would have to be extremely bored to make up an AE!  I keep busy enough usually on here with my regular ID.  But if I did, I probably would admit it at some point.

I would never have a whiny, MUD AE.  The AE I had was for pure entertainment- for everyone.  I wanted people to have fun with her.  I really hate when people make AE's as a front to be mean (ahem, BlameCanada).

I have a hard enough time finding time to log on as myself. If I had the time and smarts to make something fun, I'd probably last a day. I'm a horrible liar.

I am not creative enough to make up fake drama but I don't think I would admit it if I had one.  I'd be too embarassed that I was that bored to create one.

Princess Kittie was fun. I really wanted her to be real...

I don't think having an AE is embarrassing. I know it takes time, which I don't have, so I can't do it. But, there are plenty of girls on here who are awesome who just have slow days at work, or are separated by miles from family and friends so it is a way to pass the time. I wouldn't be so quick to judge.

Dude I barely have time to keep up with THIS acct, never mind an AE.

emarston1

I wasn't judging, I was just saying that I would be embarassed for having one.  But as I said, I'm not creative enough to think of fake drama (or rather the follow up comments that are the true gems of the post), so it's a nonissue.

I think they can be damn entertaining but just not something I would do or even think to do.  It never even crossed my mind that some of the crazy posts were AEs until someone brought it up once.

megk8oz

If I ever got bored enough to make one, I'd probably treat it like my KPS posts: I'd come clean if somebody said "Is this you?".

That being said, I really have no effin time for one.

J&K10910

Nope, half the fun is laughing to yourself while people try to guess who it is.  I mean...if I HAD an AE I would assume that would be half the fun.

No.  However, you are pretty damn ignorant and insensitive for using the word "retarded" like that.  Not to mention, you spelled it wrong.

No, but you might be for not even knowing how to spell 'retarded' correctly.

I created an alter ego on a free dating service once.  My friend was really discouraged by the responses she was getting and told me some horror stories.  I thought "it can't be THAT bad"  So I created Magdalena.  And her ad gave me hours of enjoyment when I took breaks from writing my senior seminar paper.

If someone started an "admit your AE" thread or accused me directly.

PrincessKittie was the best, though.
