If you disappeared I'd be sending letters which your family would likely get and they would hopefully tell me what happened and I'd spread the word.

She'd contact the appropriate one or two within each of my circles who would be responsible for passing on the message. One for the Puntabugang, one for m/m and one for my Mom group. That would cover all the bases. :-)<br /><br />She just told me she'll burn my computer. Although knowing her she'll probably enjoy what's on there. She's read some m/m YA.

It's not that I'd be embarrassed. Heck, I'd be dead. However, I know that it would devastate my parents to seen some of the things I've looked at/read online. Bless their conservative little hearts.<br /><br />One thing I've always thought about when it comes to my online life and friends is that most of us don't have a clue about each other's real names, etc. I keep my online life completely separated from my real life. No one in RL knows I have a blog, twitter, tumblr. If something happened to me or to one of my online friends, it would be like we just disappeared. I would hate not knowing what happened to someone who just vanished like that. I've often though of doing an "I guess I kicked the bucket" post and scheduling it in the future. Then, when the date came, I could just reschedule it before it posted. I guess that's pretty morbid. I get that way sometimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-71827028965731685282011-01-24T17:04:09.661-05:002011-01-24T17:04:09.661-05:00Tam, the point was to retrieve his personal pictur...Tam, the point was to retrieve his personal pictures.

He was an older, ex-military, possibly church-going guy with an elementary-school-teacher wife, and after he worked on my machine, I had to endure lectures on the evils of the Internet. I was actually more resentful than ashamed, but it was still a humiliating experience.<br /><br />I can only imagine what he was thinking if he delved into some of my files.
