I refuse to live my online life to suit others or as if I were ashamed of myself. Hell, I have a running contest with Kieron Gillen to see which of us can corner the Gillen name (Aidan Gillen, who one would think would outshine the both of us without even trying, only scores a distant third)

If someone I deal with professionally wants to google me they'll certainly get an eyeful and learn a number of things they never would have guessed about me previously.

We all want to work with the easiest people possible; sometimes LJ does not leave one with that impression ( ... )
