If I need to produce a representation of your good self I have a few pieces of information I know about you from reading your blog to work from. If you need to produce a representation of yourself you have much more to work with. We will thus create vastly different representations, though there would hopefully be some overlap (unless I get you mixed up in my mind with the author of a different blog I read and describe you as a single Jewish woman living in Dublin). It's still the same you that is being represented. So it is with anything else.
