Meandering Musings of a Manic Witch

Whither be the jousts?

Posted by: manicwitch on: July 11, 2009

We are going to opening day of the Ren Faire!  Hubs and I treated to ourselves to season passes to our local Ren Faire along with the upgrade Friends of the Faire package last Yule.  Over the past few years we’d been putting together garb for us and cannot wait.  We even have a friend who will sew a few dresses for me for free-all I have to do is provide the pattern(s) and material.  I can get an outfit for at least 1/3 of the cost of buying one at the Faire.  I know we will need to get a few things there to complete our look, but for the most part we are set. 

I’ll post pics later.  I just have to make sure there are no “head shots”.  Sorry, but I’ve managed to keep fairly private here.  Only one pic of me exists on the ‘net and none of my Hubs and kids-as far as I know.  This is MY blog and I refuse to give up their privacy (and safety).  I may put up private pics on Flickr, so if I do and anyone wants to see them, email me, but please don’t be offended if I don’t give access.  I’ve worked hard to make my “real life” as vague and unsearchable as possible.  I’ve even googled us and have a really hard time finding any of us out there.  There were a few links but I’ve managed to delete all accounts at those sites.  Has anyone else done that?  Tried to “de-google” yourself?  It may look like paranoia, but really its just about protecting my privacy.

I have. There’s stuff out there but I’ve made sure it’s nothing super identifiable and that my name isn’t connected with my blog. Have fun at the faire.

Are you sure? I see hits all the time for Sabrina Spellman.

That is a good point and has been quite the hot topic on some of my fav blogs. I honestly don’t know if I have anything to worry about since frankly my blog and life are so uninteresting.

Then again, I haven’t googled myself in a long time and when I did I did not get a lot of hits. I guess that’s the payoff to livejournal altho there is one weirdo livejournal lookalike site that copied a lot of my public blogs into new forums.

I never thought of the face picture or family pics. I have posted those. Can you explain the worry you have about that? Is it face recognition or potential embarassment from your children when and if they ever stumble upon the pics?

I just try to keep my life private. If the kids ever decide they want to post pics, then they can choose to do so. I can’t explain it, but for whatever reason, I just don’t want pics out there. Of course that completely explains why I don’t use my camera nearly as much as I could. If I did post pics, then I would totally take pics of EVERYTHING, just to put more up. :)
