Why my blog isn’t more personal: Boy and girl meet at a library, sparks fly. Boy and girl go on date to see a friend of the girl’s perform. After said performance, boy and girl go back to girl’s house and have light petting session. Before next date, girl does a Google search for boy’s name, and finds his blog — commenting on her lack of ability to kiss and his disappointment in not getting more frisky. Girl is upset and talks to her friend from the performance, who writes a column about the experience. Said column ends up getting posted on MetaFilter, and people commenting on the column quickly find the blog in question. Boy find out about public disclosure of his comments when he starts getting e-mails and comments on his blog, posts his initial responses — “Holy crap“, “Double holy crap“, and “Triple holy crap“. Much discussion ensues. However, from the posts made in Boy’s blog since this thing exploded, he seems to be handling his new-found infamy rather well.
