Hello Paranoia

[la_samtyr]

Or, welcome to my world.

Because I adore trivia and weird details, I'm in a lot of different detail-oriented and "what was..."-type groups. So I'm sitting here, reading my lists over coffee and this site is mentioned (along with a few others.)

I already knew about goo gling yourself but it's more and more apparent that nothing but NOTHING is private, especially online. Gah!!

If I type my name into google one of the links goes to my LOTRFF account, as I use my own name on it, and I don't care. It does surprise me more that my father, brother his g/f and some of my cousins have not tried it and disowned me XD

Maybe they haven't figured it out yet? So far the ex-from-hell hasn't found me -- he'd never keep it quiet if he had.

Nah, I just think it wouldn't occur to them, lol. Or maybe they have and just have not said anything. Most of them wouldn't, I think. My relations don't question what I do. I just won't have it. Of course, it's reciprocal.

You are very careful with your personal information Sam, but you are right about personal information being easily accessible to anyone.

Yes, it's a very fine line at times. :(

You're so lucky!

I so agree! Nowadays search engines have even started throwing up pics that your friends have uploaded. Buddy of mine uploaded a vacation pic and tagged it by my name on her facebook and boom, it was everywhere and people were asking me about the vacation (even those who haven't spoken more than a grand set of 7 sentences in their lives to me).

Oh geeez... how utterly... weird? ::hugs::

Hah! It didn't find me! :) I've tried to google myself and turns out there's a doctor in Philadelphia with my name so that's what comes up. That's fine, I'll hide behind her!

Oh, very cool! Sadly, I do tend to show up. :/
