I found out a little more about Jon's system the other day. It sure explains some things. I've known about Jonathan and Jonny, and I've spoken to the Core a few times. Then there's J.T. - except J.T didn't seem to make sense. It was like there were more than one guy called J.T. Sometimes he's arrogant, sometimes he's really scared, sometimes he's angry, sometimes he's really sad. He told me once that he is a "double agent".

I got to talk to the arrogant J.T., and he explained to me that "J.T" is the common name given to all the emotional states that Jon can't access any other way at this point. "We're the dumping ground" is the way he put it. Not fully developed identities. More like the personifications of feelings he can't express, and they all go by the name J.T.
That' s interesting, and it really clears up some of my confusion. It's not someone else trying to pretend he's J.T. It's someone else who IS J.T.

On another good note, my best friend Slash got to meet the guys last night. Jon and I have talked about maybe letting Slash know. I've known him for heading on toward twenty years and he's seen more of MY brand of crazy than anyone else on the planet. He's a good man. He and Jon are getting to be really good friends too, and they were hanging out while I was at a meeting. Jonathan and Jonny were really curious and came out to introduce themselves. I hear it went well (I thought it would) and the guys are really happy to know someone else who can accept them for just who they are. Pretty cool stuff.

I guess I just want to keep you guys informed on how things are going. I really don't have anyone else to share this with. Thanks for listening!
