This says a lot! The concept is great too. In the end, I realized how often a person flirting with discomfort reverts to sprinkling in something sexual. I love the haircut bit. "Come out as what?" Brilliant!

Lol, thank you so much :-). It's good to see your name pop up! This is probably 10% of the way to the conversations that actually go on in my head, which I can only interpret through poetry.

I love that you do that... one of poetry's best services. Conversations worth turning into art, for sure. (P.S. I've been out sick)
Comment from giraffmang
Ah yes, you're at that age!
Well, yeah. If I didn't talk to myself, how would I know what I was thinking? - I like talking to myself. It's the only way I'm guaranteed intelligent conversation.
How about, as mad as Murdoch in an asylum- nothing wrong with the A-team, my friend.
Do you perhaps feel it's time for a more grown up haircut? Or was that twenty years ago? Or have you had it so long it's become ironic? Do you just like to be different? - you know, folk get obsessed with this a lot. My hair is past my ass and I get this all the time! lol
It means you're the kind of person who talks to his own pen name. It means you're a plonker. It means, dammit, that you're the subject.- you do know a lot of folk on here have 'real' conversations with their muses... seriously!
Still, only another 250 posts for the next milestone...

I feel as though I've returned to my teenage self, who believed everything was pointless. I still think that, but now I don't mind - I just feel we should try to enjoy our pointlessness. My wife tells me I should do away with the hair, but then how would I joke about denying my age?
I think chatting to Fleedleflump is as close as I get to attending church, lol.
Thanks so much for the fun response :-)
Comment from John Ciarmello
This is clever and witty, Mike. Congratulations! It's a perfect 750 milestone. If you stop writing for a few decades, I may be able to catch up, lol. I loved this!

Thanks, John :-). I wanted to do something a bit different. Of course, most of the 750 were posted during my previous time on Fanstory, so this is officially my first milestone post. I'm not sure it means anything, but it did inspire a bit of fun!

Comment from Jesse James Doty
Does all this have to do about nothing more than a milestone?
I don't see why you get all bent out of shape over a milestone post, anyway! Mike, you have really outdone yourself this time!
Actually, I enjoyed reading this and I am just having fun with you.
Thanks for sharing this dialogue with yourself.

Lol, thanks Jesse :-). It's weird, because it's actually my first milestone post (they weren't a thing when I was on Fanstory previously), so I'm jumping straight in at 750! I thought I'd do something a little different! Glad you enjoyed :-)

Hi Mike. No, they only started this thing about milestones a while ago. Weird, isn't it?

Comment from Jay Squires
I liked this. The concept of a writer conversing with his pen name and each equally self-deflating, aware that a big part of being a writer is "showing off" and in the final analysis we can't get away from writing about ourselves. Good work, Mike!

Thanks, Jay :-). I think we?re all doomed to be self-deprecating and proud in equal measure. It's why we?re such tortured souls, lol.

Congrats on your 750th post, Mike! And thanks for this interview with your alter ego so that we now know that you pondering deep thoughts about infinity while being distracted by boobs. Lol.

Lol, thank you, and what can I say, the typical guy is always lurking beneath somewhere, sniggering into his hand at some silly joke. I'm really glad you enjoyed this :-)

What delightful nonsense. I liked how you perceive yourself, somewhat of a left-over hippie, a free-thinker. But you are obviously chained to your pen name who has developed into a personae. Do you think all creative people are like that? I do (well the Brits at least. We're a funny bunch). Maybe it's because we live so much in our minds, it disguises a slight touch of madness. Kate xx

Lol, thanks Kate. I think you summed it up beautifully. I do think creative Brits are very much this way - proud of what we create but also painfully self-deprecating, outrageous and polite at the same time. We're a seething mass of vying personality traits (but that's probably the same for everyone, of they're honest with themselves!).

Comment from royowen
I like the idea of having a conversion with one's alter ego, what the say? It's one thing to talk to yourself, quite another to answer back, do you have a ponytail Mike? That's as bad as me wearing a fedora when I put on my musical guise, beautifully written, congrats on 750 posts, well done. blessings Roy

Thanks so much, Roy :-). I thought I'd have a bit of fun since it was a milestone post!
I do indeed have a ponytail - I do techy stuff at work, so it's part of the uniform.

Comment from Bill Schott
This script, Fleedleflumpus, is a neat way to work out some blockade that keeps your serious soul searching and world shaking posits from being presented to the readers. Boobs!

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I love this one Mike, because I've just realised I'm not the only one on here who talks to myself. I do it because I don't argue back, I'm always right!!!! Lol. This was excellent, it was fun, and you came away from your chat with your twinself, (new word for the Fleedleflump!) without any help from him! But didn't you do well getting the conversation all down? Loved it! :)) Sandra xxx
