Aug. 4th, 2006 10:50 pmYou know, I've been enjoying googling myself lately. After I made the mistake of googling a bunch of people I went to high school with, sometime last summer, I googled myself, just to see what would return. And I liked what I saw. I don't have PhDs from Ivy League Institutions, I'm not an ajdunct faculty member in Oxford, and I don't have "three beautiful children" (*gag*). But the returns on my name sure make it clear what I've been up to since high school- although I really should get my name taken off that private teacher's list in Wheaton. It returns websites and PDF files of when I've gigged for stuff, but it also returns a lot of CPT stuff. I'm even quoted in several articles.
I was slightly disappointed, though. As I was going through and adding a few links to my last post, just for fun, I found that the newspaper articles that mention my protest arrest from January the last was apparently taken down. Or something. Either way it no longer comes up when I google myself. Too bad. One thing I'm looking forward to is shocking some of the folks I went to high school with who would never believe I would be either brave or adventurous enough to risk arrest under any circumstances. Although many of them would probably just think I was stupid for doing it at all. But that's why I don't live in Wheaton anymore.
And to be honest, I'm not sure I want myself out there to be found. I'm not sure if its scarier that there might be people from high school looking for me, or if its scarier that not a single person I knew in high school cares where I am. You know?
Just my profound thought of the day....

Aug. 4th, 2006 11:55 pmI've been thinking about putting myself on a Sims 2 diet, since I can't stop playing it. But after reading the storyboards people keep posting in the Sims 2 community, I'm not sure I can do it. Maybe I'll just not play for a day or two, but spend that time and energy searching out cool downloads. Then I can still feel involved.
Damn. I need to get out of the house again.
