Wondering if I should censor my archive

"Heard you talking on Radio Wales so I looked up your blonk. Glad to hear you love cosmopolitans — also my favourite. Although, that's where our things in common end. I'm supremely good at giving head."
— a surprise message from my long-lost friend, Glen.

  1. Would you like a serious answer? I do serious rather well! Only the other week they did a piece on the news about Blogs, Facebook, Myspace, etc. and it emerged that employers in Graphic Design are habitually Googling potential employees for more information. While head-giving skills are probably not of serious interest to a potential employer (though may be embarassing if new colleagues know before you start) if, for example, a person's blog were to just be a catalogue of 'got shit-faced, still drunk at work, not sure what I was doing, oh well, only 3 hours before start drinking again'... that might be a bit off-putting, as might 'man, I love heroin', 'killed three people last night' or 'I hate soap opera'.

    Frivolous answer? Keep telling me things I don't know and being generally more interesting than me! Please! ;-)

  2. Hate to say it, cos I love your blog, but it might be a good idea, if not now when you do hit the job market. I had a reverse situation where someone I interviewed had read my blog. Luckily mine is tame, and the person didn't mentioned as a by the way. It still disconcerted my and I removed references to my blog on my LinkedIn profile.

    I know interviewers do check for blogs or myspace pages etc.

  3. Oh, I was going to leave some frivolous comment but the previous two have frightened me.

    Hmmm, they have a point. Anonymity is a very nice blanket.

    But, in your business having a successful, well-read Web-two-point-Oh thing can't be a bad thing, surely?

    And you can prove you're already well used to dealing with pestering 'fans'...

  4. I'm not worried about potential employers — I'm worried about potential dates.

  5. potential dates will be sold on it, annie. potential employers possibly less so, but who wants a boring job anyway?

    chances are that if either have taken the time to go through the archives, you're already in there...

  6. A gentleman never advertises his own oral sex skills. He just smiles enigmatically and licks his eyebrows.

  7. I'd never believe anyone who brags so blatantly about his sexual skills. The ones with the skills don't need to advertise them.

    Bit too late to censor the blog, Annie, with such a big archive. Unless you want to depict yourself as a born-again Christian who now believes fervently in hard work, cleanliness and caring for the destitute.

  8. Might be the easiest thing to change your name in real life and distance yourself from the blog.

    I suggest Miss Kitty Feelgood.

    I think your archives are pretty tame compared to most. Stop worrying, and ask Glen for more details on his technique.

  10. I'm with Rosie on this, and like Spinsterella, I was all set to be cheeky about your oral skills rather than comment on your future career. Just shows where my priorities lie heehee.
