My Inner Woman


It was bound to happen.

It was written long ago, on papyrus in an ancient land, that it would happen.

It was foretold.

It has happened.

It happened yesterday.

My Inner Woman has revealed herself.

Having a whole host of personalities dwelling within me it shouldn’t really come as a surprise that one of them – or even some of them – would be feminine. I think a little female influence may work wonders on Bernard and Fred when they return form their open-ended mission to find all of the needles they are looking for. I’m sure she would be only too willing to learn from Tom the Geek, or have Fingers type something for her. To read more about some of my inner personalities, click here or here.

My Inner Woman revealed herself at the very end of my post ‘I’m Not Superman’, from yesterday. She revealed herself as Wonder Woman, although between you and me, I don’t think that is her real name. In the interest of confidentiality, and also because she hasn’t revealed her real name to me either, we have two options.

Option One
Go along with her, and say that she is Wonder Woman. Granted the wisdom of Athena, the strength of Hercules, and the speed of Mercury, concealed in the beauty of Aphrodite, she entered the mind of Aquatom1968 to help to bring some normality and stability in the randomness and chaos that existed in a kind of unchallenged way.

Option Two
Name her Thomasina and have done with it. I was nicknamed Thomasina many years ago when I was the only boy working in an office full of girls, so it doesn’t sound that strange to me anyway. And besides, it is easier to say than Wonder Woman, but equally doesn’t conjure up the kind of image as to the woman she is. I am. If I was a woman.Wonder Woman
I’ll leave that little name debate debating for a while. Thomasina could be Wonder Woman’s alter ego in my mind. Well, I have so many alter egos what difference would another one make?

Hopefully, my Inner Woman will have a calming influence on me, particularly at times when I need calming. I don’t feel stress very often, so she probably wouldn’t be needed that much. I do hope that she doesn’t become an assertive influence on my behaviour though. I don’t think they make nice shoes in my size. I can hear her tutting now, and saying ‘Luckily I only wear boots.’

    Um, calm from your inner woman Sir Aquatom?.. 😀 …. of course, and sheer sense and levelheadedness. (Wow, spell checker likes that one…) … Now if all your inner beings ever got together (after the needle and haystack incident) and argued, who’d win?…T’woman always of course…we get the last word.. !!
    Now, taking this one step forward, careful mind, there’s a chasm opening up just to your left….. ’tis ok, it only leads to Fyrespikes cave,…but I warn you, hold your nose at first, ooh too late, want a hankie?…. anyway..where was I? . oh yes, if’n you have an inner woman do we females have an inner man?. (just looking) . and just picturing Jens outfit on how I ‘see’ you…and trying to ‘marry’ the two together and…I’ve gone blind.!! nope, sorry, false alarm, just closed my eyes…and now I have a picture of Eddie Izzard. only slimmer?.. and better looking?… am I close?…..anywho…best get off and try to do a poem…Owls feature but the flipping creature won’t bloody rhyme.. AND keeps answering back..Can you get locked up for hitting Owls? Imaginary ones?… tooodle pip… xPenx

      Now that you point things out, Pen, maybe she won’t be the calming influence that I think she’ll be. I suppose it’s a good thing that I’m not stressed that often then!
      I think Fyrespike sent me back straight away, I’m sure he muttered something about unfinished business… I could be wrong though, I was only there for a second!
      So, you picture me as a thinner Eddie Izzard, hey? I’m not keen on spoiling people’s dreams, but no, I look nothing like Eddie. Think of your most dashing hero, multiply the level of good looks that you see by ten. Add a shine of blond hair here and there, and blue eyes, deep, deep blue eyes. Look into the depths of the blueness, it’s a blueness that you have never seen before, Deep and inviting. Now, look around the eyes. The eyelashes. The eyebrows. And remember that I look nothing like that either. Phew. Nearly gave a few secrets away there. Nobody noticed…
      Good luck with your owl, Lady P!

    Glad you found her, Tom. Every Superhero should be in touch with his feminine side. It says so in the manual….

      It certainly does, Kate. I don’t know why it insists on Lycra (spandex) though. Lycra (oh, and ties) are my least favourite things to wear.

    Thomasina gave me the giggles….
    Do girls have an inner-man? I know I do. I don’t know his name though, I should go ask him 😉

      I hope you find out the name to your inner man soon, Alannah. At least when you find yourself talking to yourself you can use a name every now and then in the conversation! Helps me no end!
      I think I’m sticking with Thomasina as the name of my inner woman. She hasn’t made an appearance today, and I’m sure that if she didn’t like it, she’d tell me… 🙂

    haha – excellent post and so happy to know that she has revealed herself to you! your superpowers will be augmented with a higher tolerance for pain, more logical thinking, more empathetic thoughts and, usually, better fashion sense – all things that a superhero in today’s work needs.
    love that you are once again playing around with Jungian archetypes…

      Hi Bex… it’s not me, though, it’s my mind. Which one, I’m not exactly sure, but it’s definitely one of them.
      I’m looking forward to my superpowers developing somewhat, especially the fashion sense one! 🙂
