Remnants of My Past [Virtual] Self

First, it started with searching for my name. Just so you know, I am definitely not used to having my name plastered everywhere on web pages, much less a domain name of my actual name. So, searching for my exact name did not render myself, but of distant strangers. Not surprising. In my earlier internet years, I was hung up on aliases. I wanted to remain anonymous and I was semi-successful; that is, you couldn’t find me if you searched my full name… but if you searched the right keywords, you’ll find me.

And what do you get when you type in any of those? I’m scattered about. I believe I’m most notable for my free diary designs (made mostly for Diaryland), and my “Which Sylvia Plath poem are you?” online quiz (back when online quizzes were novel, and arguably more interesting — in the early OKcupid days).

I’m glad I finally have my own name out here in the virtual world now. I own it.
