I'm sitting at the bar on a Monday night at the strip club, chatting it up with a friendly chef from Canada. He's showing me photos, talking about his kids, and we're smiling at each other, flirting lightly. We're drinking water at the bar. Very casual light fun.
The strobe lights are beaming on the stage behind us, and behind the stage is the DJ and my manager. I had been at the DJ's house for steak dinner the night before. We were in school together, so we are pretty close. I showed him my soulcast site. He was in particular awe of my fellatio blog. While reading it to him, his eyes were bug-eyed, wide open and his jaw was slack.
Over the music on the microphone I hear him say, "This is the second song for the Beautiful Blake."
OH NO!!! That's me and I'm missing my set, I think. I get off the bar stool to head toward stage, when I see them all laughing in the DJ booth. They're fucking with me. I can't help but laugh with them.
"It's Rarity121, is that right Blake?" he asks me, huge mischevious smile glaring at me.
What???? My manager, the bartender and the DJ are hovered over a large computer monitor, and I know they are reading my blog.
I excuse myself from my customer, feeling like I'm in high school again, with rumors being spread. I sneak behind stage and into the DJ booth, where I crane my neck to see the computer. I see Soulcast flash before my eyes. All of a sudden, the DJ sees me, and changes the screen back to another page! My manager is smirking at me, with a somewhat flirtatious glint in his eye.
"Don't look at my page! It's private!" I yell.
Now who knows whose reading this stuff! Definitely people that shouldn't be, if I want to remain anonymous. So much for ditching dirt on these people from now on.
I go into the dressing room, and I'm putting on my makeup the next day. A new girl introduces herself to me.
"I hear your really smart," she says, "Somebody told me you're a writer."
Thanks Mr. DJ!!!

o, rarity...you know, you should never tell people you don't trust completely your blog address.
sorry that your anonymity's toast.
btw: you can hide your previous blog entries by putting them in draft mode.

Blake, I think your cover is blown. You may have to change your Soulcast ID. LOL

Satyr's comment...your cover is blown. I couldn't help finding humor in the pun, but there is no humor in your anonymity going out the window because someone wants to be an asshole.
I think you have 2 choices: Let Karma do it's thing and eventually "what goes around, comes around" (if you believe that) or....use your own form of "karma" and find a way to expose the exposer. These guys have to take a leak sometime.

I agree with silver.....he is full of its own shit....
Sorry, but you should have know better ..specially working in such very upfront kind of job....
Isn't ironic, they are making fun of you because you are smart? That tells you the level of people.
Stay here but change your ID....even though i wonder how are you going to talk about your experience from now on?
You have to completely avoid to tak about your job, your clients, your plans for the future, all your present stuff...it will limit you a lot, i think... ....

I have also had issues like stalking and creepiness from a co-worker because he saw my myspace page.
But the DJ was a jackass!

And that is precisely the reason why I've always advocated never to be so intimately revealing in your blogs. Blogs are like media programs permanently featured on blogcast media.
As with any form of media, undue adulation, crazed stalking and deranged fans are part of the entertainment circle. Now it really doesn't take some deep thinking to understand that Soulcast is popular and so easily accessible to anyone who has access to internet.
So blogging about every personal and confidential intimate details about the writer is a no-no. Guess this calls for some drastic action, delete all your sensitive posts, take it all out and try to start on a clean new slate with a new identity. You see the price of popularity is not well taken by everyone including jackasses and stalkers.

Sorry that your cover is blown, but again, the DJ is a jackass!
Also, I agree with FD, but I would follow SW's idea of saving the posts as drafts.

purple said on Sep 27, 2006....
I think I would just make a post that says "BITE ME" and "I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE."

LOL - I think purple has a good idea

That was a mistake rarity...although you can get serious with him and tell him to please respect your privacy.
Tell them you're writing a book and dare them to do the same.
That D.Jerk should've known better and respected you're privacy.

tsk... tsk... this is bad.
and they were all right about the Dumbass Jerk.
gingersoul is right, too... they have just shown you how shallow they are (maybe as well as theit IQ)...
if you ever start anew, do let us know... =)

That's a shame, girlie. I had those fears initially. I still do a little bit--because my husband asked me, "Oh, is it okay to tell my sister your username?"
Anyway, I feel your pain. But I see it as a bit of a compliment that someone said you were a 'writer'. Don't you?
I understand your embarrassment over your private thought being exposed in that fashion.
I unexpectedly shocked a friend of mine with the erotica I posted. So, I can understand awkward moments.
Well, you can either keep the name and suck it up (they might lose interest it you act as if you aren't bothered) or you could create a new username.
I do hope, whatever happens, that you keep us posted. Please.
Good luck!

labyrinth said on Sep 28, 2006....
Goodness gracious... Change your username to rarity122!!! Quickly!!
I'm just joking.
Seriously, I could feel how difficult it was for you. I agree with SW, the dj was an ass for blowing your cover like that. He should have known that the info given to him was confidential.
Don't let this episode make you totally give up SoulCast. Keep on blogging, dear rarity!
