Going public

On Sunday I sat in a big room and listened to my dad preach about Nathan rebuking David for sleeping with Bathsheba. At one point, after recounting an anecdote from a movie, he almost yelled from the pulpit: "It's not just sex!" Later he castigated parents who indulge their children too much.

He may have attributed the anecdote to the wrong movie, but I really, really respect my dad.

I googled my name and almost jumped when my blog was the first hit -- the last time I checked it was buried under pages of other stuff, mostly newspaper stuff I'd written that doesn't expose anything remotely personal. This time a couple of my email addresses came up too, because of groups I was affiliated with (and groups affiliated with groups I was affiliated with). Is scary.

I don't know -- I sort of started this as an anonymous blog, but apparently I've been here for almost four years. I don't feel compelled to either take my blog off the public listing or go through the comments and delete my name from all of them -- that's just too perasan. But I'm still weirded out. Then again, me being weirded out is not an unusual phenomenon.

In real life, my internship's been really satisfying and it's been such a joy to have my extended family around as people trickle in for my granddad's birthday do. Yay for cousins whom I haven't seen in years. <3
