My husband just informed me that he is going to go see the 9:50pm showing of Harry Potter.
Me: “What? Right now? It's 9:30!”
Him: “Yeah! So I better hurry!”
Yes, I let my husband do whatever the hell he pleases. So what do I do in return after being all passive aggressive and bitchy, “no.. go have fun…”…? I take to the Internets to complain to you good people. Actively aggressive and bitchy! So now all seven of you that got through the high security know I am sitting in bed being grumpy because he is seeing a movie that I wanted to see too… without me.
Speaking of the high security, I guess I do owe an explanation.
I have always been lucky in that I have a husband completely disinterested in my online persona. He has known about this website for years, but has never worked very hard in looking for it. My sister also knows, but she respects my privacy. She also isn't terribly internet savvy. My mother and brother, however, are another story. Last week I made the mistake of commenting on a family member's Flickr stream and in doing so, alerted them to my presence. I received a late night phone call requesting that I privatize all family photos and that I take more measures to protect my children from pedophiles. My brother was pretty rationale, “Look, Mom’s upset. She didn’t know. Can you just take some of the stuff down?” My mother, the next day, was less so.
Me: “But Mom, I have security settings on there.”
Mom: “Your security settings mean nothing to pedophiles! If the North Koreans can hack into US government computers, than they can find your pictures!”
Me: “You think North Korean pedophiles are hacking my Flickr stream?”
Mom: “Nothing is safe! Nothing is secure!”
Apparently pictures of my daughter on the potty are as important as nuclear launch codes and that damn Kim Jung Il will stop at nothing to get them! (Wow, this password protected stuff is liberating!!! I’m going to say more stuff about my crazy family! Woot!!) So, yeah. I imagined my very intelligent attorney brother doing a quick Google search on “Xio” and winding up HERE. Lord knows what else might pop up, from boring tweets “At a video shoot” to long dead sites where I signed up just to give it a test run, Vox, tumblr, I can’t even remember what. I just didn’t need the shock/disappointment or lecture when they learned how I swear for ANYONE to see. Poop. Crap. Tits. Shit.
Lord have mercy someone remind me to fully delete this post if I ever unlock. Kim Jung il has probanly read it already anyway.
