Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Feeling kinda drained right now, don't know why.

The problem of course is that I have multiple "identities" and while I am fine and happy to join Google+ with my real name for professional circles, I am loath to connect *any* of my non-work related activity to my real name.

Exactly. I'm not crossing the streams, which means I have to figure out why I would use it before I sign up.

It was a day off, but I had a dentist appt this afternoon to have two fillings replaced. Then I had to rush home and take Clio to the vet.

On top of her allergies, her anal glands were also blocked. Cleaning them out meant wrapping her in a towel, using an E-collar and caterwauling so awful, I almost ran out of the room. And she peed all over herself. After that, I need a drink!

I remember having to do that with our siamese. Uhg. And the smell. Uhg.

I got to work ridiculously early (and this was after delaying for MK's shot, which I did by washing the water dishes) so left ridiculously early. I was all fired up to go to Bloodbath and spend my birthday gift card and then remembered I'm waiting on a 20% off coupon. So I guess I'm done for the night.

I didn't even have to do anything. The vet did all the dirty work! Clio has completely recovered. She is not a grudge holding cat, fortunately.

And doesn't Google+ mean you have to have a public profile?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yes, but you don't have to put anything in there. My public profile has my name and gmail address, which is nothing you couldn't Google anyway.

Yeah, that's sort of my problem because I use my gmail address as my private address (not that it's not easy to figure out, but it's not out there per se).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My email addresses are exactly the sort of thing I hide and sift by who I'm being.

Does no one on True Blood have a hanky? Box of tissues? Wet nap? Shirt? Okay, never mind. That last one isn't important.

This. I use gmail for my professional/important stuff, and yahoo (under not my real name) for everything else.
