Shut her up ...

More than three years ago, I was in a Minneapolis Star Tribune story about blogging. [Actually, Chuck was in the same story, it ran exactly a month before we met.] This is how I appeared:

"I'm single, and I'm 30, and I live in Duluth, which is not the most exciting place in the world to live," [Pista] said. "I kind of like to write about Duluth and how crappy it is and drinking."

[Pista] adopted a party-girl persona for her blog, [Name of my old blog here], but said she reined it in after realizing that her family was reading her postings: "I'm worried that someone might try and ship me off to rehab."


And then this was a pull quote from my site:

"i want a jeep so bad it tears my soul apart. the older i get, the more i realize that i am not my honda civic and my honda civic is not me." - Christa, on [Name of old blog here]

Oh Lord. You would think I would have known better. I'm glad that identity crisis is over. Finding this is actually worse than looking at my senior picture.

Doesn't everyone feel that way about their old blogs or archives? Lord, I know I do. My pre-edited archives made me nauseous. It boggles my mind that I actually had readers - I guess people love to watch a train wreck.
