Joining Facebook has been encouraging me to see where former boyfriends are now - you have the option of quickly scanning your gmail address book to see if your contacts are on Facebook. I really need to blog on my whole struggle with my "online presence" another time. Brett thinks my term is quaint. I sometimes think I am quaintly freaky or freakily quaint. Anyhoo... (I really need a footnote feature)
Some pictures that I really like happened to feature a former boyfriend, Erik Bratton. So I Googled "Erik Bratton" and was astonished to see a whole collection of pictures of him still doing the awesome outdoors stuff that he did when I was with him. It made me quite nostalgic and a little bit embarrassed at my un-adventuresome state the past few years.
In fact I felt a huge pang of regret that I have not kept up with rock climbing, SCUBA diving, and general outdoors rompery.
And it continued the theme of former boyfriends happy with their current girlfriends and doing what they love in life (ahem, Mike Fahmie). That part actually is very cool. It's the feeling that I have let a lot of things slide in my life that bugs me so much.
I'm a little nervous about using full names here because I feel like I am airing out my dirty laundry for the world. Actually, I really want to sign up for Live Journal for posts like these (and just share them with select friends) and use this Blogger account for posting helpful or fun links. Brett, Petter, and other happy users of blogs and social networking sites, I need some serious "online presence" consulting!

One of the new features of Blogger (did you move this blog over?) is that you can have private blogs. What is even nicer is that the person only needs a Google account (which most people have).
