I'm a mental giant (midget? maybe I'm a mental midget: I *am* short)

 Last week I was trying to decide what to do about the whole filtering/limited facebook profile thing.  After some thinking and weighing the opinions of all who chimed in here and twitter, I decided that Uncle Strangedude would be getting filtered (if not removed completely) and that the aunt would be added as a friend at full-access level: as I said on Thursday, my facebook profile is just as much a representation of who I am as my blog and twitter account are - I won't hide or apologize for who I am.  I felt good about that decision.

In the past, I've also struggled with if I should "come out" blog-wise to family and non-bloggy/twitter friends.  I've changed my twitter name so I could feel comfortable using my *own* picture, then changed it back when I accidentally mentioned twitter on my personal facebook account.  While small (and very, very unlikely to be spotted by anyone from outside of Cyberia (thanks to Jett Superior for that most excellent term)), I made the choice to change my twitter handle back to Chibi Jeebs while keeping *my* face up.  Not long after that, I made the decision to share the link to my blog with a few very select (and highly trusted) friends that I met through a message board 100 years ago.

Then I did it AGAIN.

On Saturday, I linked my Instagram pictures to post to *my* facebook account (instead of saving and reposting) because I'm lazy efficient that way.

HOWEVAH.

Dumbass that I am, I didn't realize that it would post my pictures all "CHIBI JEEBS IS USING INSTAGRAM!!1!one!" (And yes, it DID feel like it appeared THAT! BIG!) all over my profile.  After discovering it an hour after it went live, I gasped and deleted it as fast as I could.  I rushed to Stat Counter to see if any damage had been done: no, thank Ceiling Cat.  


Hooray!  :D  Or not.  D:

You see, another FIVE hours later, I was on my actual profile page - as opposed to the !@#$ing newsfeed I was on earlier - and saw "CHIBI JEEBS IS USING INSTAGRAM!!1!one!" in THREEEEE different places.  Yes, I deleted the posts from MY newsfeed (read: not everyone else's!), but not my !@#$ing profile.

So, "CHIBI JEEBS IS USING INSTAGRAM!!1!one!" sat there in all it's traitorous, big-mouthed, stupid-ass glory for SIX HOURS.

Yeah.  See?  MENTAL MIDGET-GIANT.  I've been too scared to look at Stat Counter again, but have kind of, sort of, allllmost made peace with inadvertently outing myself: once again, this is ME - if anyone doesn't like it, well, that's just too damned bad.

Because I'm pretty freaking awesome (if a little slow).
