midwestern exposure

i learned a hard, but obvious lesson this week.
alright, we all do this. we meet someone and we google them. sometimes stuff comes up, it is mostly random, and we know some interesting tidbits about people.
but, hello!? you never tell them what you find out, right?
it so happens that when you google me, you can pretty much piece together my entire life. i know, i'm da sh!t.
i wasn't really aware of this.
so when you show up somewhere with people you've only recently met and they start asking you things about your life which you have not yet divulged or aren't even on your myspace page, you get freaked out.
at least i did.
i was overexposed on the internet. i've done my best to do "damage control" but i am limitted by the fact that i do not control the content of many of these sites.
so welcome (again) to the internet age.
i'm such a chump.
lesson learned.
