Outed.
*January 3, 2008
You know how if you look at the same word long enough it begins to look like it belongs in a foreign language?
The same thing happens with your own face. I cannot pull up my blog without seeing my own face everywhere. And it's beginning to look like an alien face to me. Does it look like an alien face? Tell me it doesn't look like an alien face. Because I'm pretty sure I have an alien face. Like Zac Efron and his detachable jaw. Or that new cardio doctor lady on Grey's Anatomy, with her enormous cheeks and ridiculously tiny mouth. How does that woman speak? But, damn, does she have some good hair.
Clearly, this entry is mostly so that I can get my alien face off the top of my blog. One of them, at least. The header face is scheduled to disappear sometime around March. Hopefully then I won't have to frantically scroll my blog down a couple inches every time I open it at work. Because I work in a big room with about forty people, and I don't want those people knowing that there's a webpage out there with my face plastered across the top. And so far I've been pretty successful.
Until today.
When I was outed at work. As a blogger. Not because I had a webpage open that had my own face on it, though. Because when you google my company's name, this blog comes up. One of the very nice artists showed me. Very quietly. Really, I outed myself, and then people started saying "I want to read your blog!" And now even if I delete both mentions of my company from my blog, it will still come up because of google's crazy cache or something, and there's nothing I can do except grin and shrug and say, "Yeah, I have a blog."
The good news is that I don't think I've ever blogged about work. And most people have blogs these days, don't they?
Hi, everyone. Don't fire me, please. I love you all, as well as the fantastic company we work for that I won't mention by name again.
That is actually you? You have great teeth.
Oh, and bummer about the work find. That has to suck.

Today my mom asked about something on my blog and it freaked me out a little.

I think it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. You do not have an alien face. Far from it, you have always been a beautiful girl. Now I find you beautiful inside & out. Have a great day! Oh, and sorry about the work thing. That does suck!

Oh, but Spring. You HAVE talked about work on here before.
But it was all good things, I promise.

Ouch! I haven't been outed but I imagine it will happen one day- and I don't really look forward to it. As for your picture- I'm ditto'ing Miss A- you really do have great teeth!!

I can relate, in a way. I'm always surprised at how many people read my little blog. However, I've worked VERY hard to keep it out of the hands and off the computer screens of my parents. Not that I write anything bad, but you know, parents. It would feel like handing them my diary or something. A diary that lots of others have access to. But I digress. I've known for about a year that somehow they found it. My dad drops blazingly obvious hints and has even quoted something I wrote on my blog. But I choose to ignore this, just because I don't want to involve "my blog" in conversations.

Zac Efron, alien face. Spring, definitely no alien faces there.
And you do have perfect teeth!

Bummer on the work catch!
I always wondered if that was really you at the top. I could never tell. I love that picture, though. You do have great teeth, along with really pretty hair!
I definitely don't think you look like an alien. Or Zac Efron.
