i've decided to start keeping a journal again. as the reader may have noticed, all the previous journal entries and comments have been removed (ala eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, hence the username)

my apologies to anyone who left comments for me that were deleted. it wasn't anything personal, just a cleaning of house.

at the time i started erasing my past, i had commented on a thread about identity theft, where the original poster had wondered how easy it was to get information about someone online, as his sister had been the victim of identity theft. in an effort to show him just how easy it was to get info, i went online and found out a bunch of information about him. this kind of freaked me out. it made me think that if there was ever someone out there who wanted to get info about me (that i didn't want getting info about me), i would be fucked. so i started erasing my online identity wherever i could find it.

but i also realized i don't want to be paranoid. and i like the SG community enough that i want to try and participate in it. and the most humbling realization was that honestly, no one was probably reading any of my journal entries to begin with (yeah, i'm popular!)

so, i'm back, for better or for worse.
