My blog is a funny thing to me. I've been working on/thinking about this anonymity post for over two weeks now for my blog and still haven't completed it. I've been thinking about giving up this blog cause it's so damn personal. And so tied to my real name. Online forum profiles are an interesting phenomena because you can know so much about someone by his/her posts, and never know his/her real name, or anything else about that person he/she doesn't want you to know.

Someone I don't know very well told me today that he'd googled me and found out way more about me than he would've guessed. Whether he meant guessed he could've found out, or guessed about me, I'm not really sure. This always makes me feel embarassed. Which is ironic because I put all out here for the world to see, so can I really be surprised people find it? And can I be so public and embarassed at the same time? Yes.

Don't get me wrong, I'm totally flattered whenever anyone googles me. I, myself, google everyone. Anyone I have the teeniest, tiniest interest in. People who give interesting talks, people I meet randomly, people at work, friends, family, people I used to know, people with interesting profiles -- anyone and everyone. Though I've been wondering lately, is that normal? I got the feeling once that someone thought it was weird, and I remember thinking it was weird that person thought it was weird. Doesn't everyone use google in this way?
