shit, i feel awkward enough having "tfp" as a friend on myspace. i don't really keep anything i'm embarrassed of on my myspace page; frankly, i never use it. i don't think i've really admitted anything i'd be worried about, persay, on tfp. i am who i am who i am. that said, i can imagine certain employers, particularly older conservative employers, being a little thrown by the overall culture of the tfp. i've thought about it before, but frankly given what i do and the fact that i don't use my real name on myspace or tfp, i'm not that worried about it. i've given my real name to certain tfp members, but in general - i'd personally not want to have that crossing of facets of my life. mostly a control issue. i enjoy this space because i get opinions from a vast array of people who are completely disparate from my "real life" existence, and yet who i frequently feel strangely close to. i don't know that i'd necessarily want anyone from my "real life" creeping in here. some of them, yes. tfp is almost like a particular kind of intellectual filter; there are many tfp'ers i'd love to meet in "real life," but i don't know that i'd be as interested in many people i interact with in "real life" necessarily crossing over into tfp. i like this because its a different perspective.
