Not this matters much at this point, but I personally do believe that anything you put out there on the Internet can and quite possibly will come and bite you in the arse. At least if you spend a fair amount of time online, or at least have some sort of web presence. It may seem unlikely, what with how vast the Net is, but as far as I'm concerned, it isn't that unlikely.
Let me share this story with you. I used to download porn from p2p networks such as KaZaA. I wasn't an addict, just a clip now and then to satisfy my lonely batchelor nights. Anywho, I once downloaded this less than a minute long porno starring a cute college (?) girl, freshman at best. It was hot, but it wasn't something I'd watch more than a few times. About six to nine months go by, and I am wondering aimlessly through LiveJournals, looking for nothing in particular, choosing sites at random. And I come across this very same chick's LiveJournal. She didn't have any clips of her little porno on her LJ, but that little mole on her cheek and her eyes instantly made me think I'd seen her somewhere. I found the file online again and downloaded it - and yeah. Same broad.
Being the young mischevious fella I was, I posted a still from the porno side by side with her more recent picture from her LJ, ON her LJ, and just asked if this was her. Sure enough did my comment get erased and my arse was banned from her journal pronto.
She had a different boyfriend at the time than before, at least she had just began to go out with some guy she really seemed to have feelings for, and although the jerk that I was I pondered long and hard whether to post the same question in her boyfriend's journal, I decided against it. As much fun as it might have been for me, God knows I've done things in the past I'd care not to re-live, and there was really no reason or justification for me to mess with her relationship, other than for my personal misguided delight, so I dropped it.
The thing is, once you allow something of yourself to get out there, you have pretty much no control whatsoever over it. Be mindful of that, and be safe.
And do expect the boomerang to fly back, quicksmart.

Funny thing is, I know EXACTLY who you are talking about. She used to post at another forum I frequent. I saw that clip, and saw the picture she had in her profile. It was the same person.
I didn't confront her though...
