I ain't running for public office anytime soon so I ain't worried.

[Dorothy Wood]

yeah, I had a friend on facebook that started freaking out about 123people.com because it had a ton of info, like address and her parents' names and address. she has a really unique name though.

I have a common name, yet I rarely use it on the internet. I looked myself up and the only thing that popped up was my friendster profile. ha. I went and changed the name anyway.

I've always used fake names and never really put my real address or phone number (unless it's absolutely necessary) and I clear everything I can when I can. I know that I still have some info out there, it's impossible to do any sort of social networking without revealing some things.

scary shit though, especially for people who weren't paranoid about keeping their info private, and splayed it out all over the net.

me... i just put it all out there

thats the kind of guy i am (y)

[Myu-to]

I am all lies.

I'm not even who I said I was while I am pretending to be like someone who was acting like another person who was in fact impersonating someone that I read about in a book that I saw on the radio.

Confused?

You won't be after this episode of SOAP.
