I have discovered a curious side-effect after I made a fan-page for this blog on facebook – I’ve become really self-conscious! I’ve never really been self-conscious when it comes to blogging before, so this sort of hit me by surprise. Now, I’ve been doing some self-analysation here, so bear with me for a second: I’ve got a live feed of my blog in LinkedIn. No problem here, as this is for former, current and future employers. The blog might get me a job some day, who knows, so this is fine. I also have a live feed from my blog on Twitter, no problem here either. My twitter followers are usually interesting strangers – perfectly fine, I don’t care if a stranger reads my blog the wrong way, after all! So, summary: LinkedIn fine, Twitter fine. So why is facebook scary? My friends already read the blog, my family already reads it, so who’s the scary last group? Colleagues. People who sort-of kind-of know who you are, but don’t really know you. Oh yes, I have crystallized the one sentence that is making me anxious over this whole fan-group business: “You know, that girl up on 5th, the one who made a fan-group for herself and posts photos of herself online all the time”
Oh yeah, that’s the one. I’m being ridiculous, I know I am! Everyone I work with are perfectly nice! Pah, let’s just face it, I’m one paranoid puppy. The facebook fanpage stays.
In other news, I’ve got candy-colored nails and there are four days left until I leave Norway behind. I want a fast-forward button, dammit!
(“Oh yeah, you know, that girl who posts photos of her nails.” Oh shush, I know it’s all in my head ;) )
