Three of an Endless Succession of Eerie Facts About Using Your Real Name on Your Blog
many people do in fact Google my name after having met me and then proceed to become acquainted with me to a psychologically unhealthy degree far ahead of time (at least once leading to an unfortunate romantic fixation/sexual liaison that kind of killed a burgeoning friendship);
people I already know find the blog, read it, do not mention that they read it, and discuss it with others, which is kind of as if your co-workers had secretly made a shrine of your newspaper clippings and yearbook photos;
people, discovering I have an internet presence, but unable to find me on Facebook (don’t have one, thanks) immediately assume that I have specifically blocked them on Facebook and sulk until this illusion is dispelled.
