Yeah, well, my transgressions are already littered across the wiki anyway, I'm not too worried about it.

No, I haven't seen Exit to Eden. Any redeeming features or is it just plain god-awful enough to be hilarious?

It's soooo bad, adn sooooo campy (though i don't think it was supposed to be, not really sure), that it's hysterical. some night, it would be a great background tv to your cooking, or studying or rational wiking.

IOW, an excuse to show chicks in leather and laugh at the freaks as usual?

Nebuchadnezzar (talk)04:54, 16 November 2011

Chicks in leather, yay! Laughing at the freaks, boo!

Well, it's dan akaroyd and Rosie o'donnal (I don't think she'd come out yet).

Rosie O'Donnell? Sounds like a terrible casting choice from both the "realism" and "hot chicks in leather" angles.

@Bflat: Don't get me wrong, leather is fun and all, but it can get a bit gross in the summer months, make squeaky noises if not broken in properly (it's a bit hard to feel properly dominated when you're laughing at a squeaky mistress), and it's your job to fix it if you mess anything up. On the whole, it's a bit overrated.

My one problem is that I'm technically a governmental employee working for two issues I care about (elections and Native American Legal issues). wrong comment on the wrong page and....

pretty much no one would connect my married name to this account. and no one here knows my maiden name which is what my professtional publications are under. so i try really hard to keep my life in discrete boxes. but its probably worth avoiding saying "spank me baby, yeah yeah like that!" no matter how good my "cover" is. ;-)

Indeed, you gotta keep the worlds apart! I sort of wonder if I could even have my "cover" blown -- I think most people might just go "Heh, good joke." I guess if you don't go around blabbing about your "exploits" 24/7 like a drunken frat boy, people think you must be really straitlaced.

That's not true. I'll have you know, last week I dreamed of AD. He was in his sixties, wore sunglasses all the time, and gave tours of ancient tar pits at the bottom of a dry lake bed.

Neb -- one of the real things I worry about for "Kids" in their 18-25 is they aren't yet being judged by anyone exactly. Drinking, or over indulging, showing your tush or boobs, the rare or frequent indiscression you blog about are cool to your friends.

Then you get your first real interview with someone you have always wanted to work for, a respected PhD in your field; a well known attorney or politician, or an agency that is teh first in your town to go Green -- whatever. And they say "Oh, I think I've seen you on my son's facebook page, drunk and hung over".

Apparently, many companies even ask for your facebook ID. I tell all my young friends to keep two accounts. One with a full name, and one with a nick name... and on that full named page, ONLY EVER write "Pictures of me in France with mom and dad"..., "Pictures of me volunteering at Habitat for Humanit" etc.

When I went to do media training, I was surprised that they recognised me when I walked in and had prepared questions in advance. Then I remembered they had my full name, university and area of expertise so they could go to my official website quite easily. Connecting that info with the FB account and the online handle is slightly more difficult - you need to know what you're looking for, at least.

My paranoid streak actually came in handy on that one -- I had an FB for a short time and then got rid of it when they started quite obviously fucking around with privacy, though there wasn't anything reprehensible on it.

I actually learned paranoia by trying to be an academic in the early 90s. despite all the "women are equal" crap, I was never taken seriously in our Native-L list serve comments, till I started going by T. Lastname, instead of Tanya Lastname.

I changed my online presence at that time to "Kip" which was gender unspecific, and people actually took me more seriously.

Even here, I didn't ID as female for maybe 2 or 3 months. how's that for paranoid.
