It was just naturally that way. My neighbor would cut it. There was definitely no adding anything to my hair.

I’ve never reverse searched images though hmm.

Good point. I took my picture down. But at least some of my friends got to see what I look like!

Me too. I'm halfway in. A few people know at work, more people know at Church, all of my friends know pretty much. It's still so stigmatized.

I don’t think they routinely reverse search images for jobs but you never know. I mean I post my flower images everywhere so if someone wanted to connect the dots it’s there but not in association with my real name except in Facebook which is pretty locked down.

Had to give a package to the next door neighbor, the mailman left it in the wrong place. Left it on our chair. Made me nervous but was easier than sending it back to the post office. No need for that, that would’ve hassled them too.

I just googled my full name and some search things and was only able to find my LinkedIn profile so I think I’m good.

I don’t use this username anywhere else but here so that’s no worry.

I’m open with my mom, my sister, and a couple friends in real life about my mental health. I’m not really too bothered.

The Monterrey bay aquarium wasn’t that big of a deal anyway. Literally was in a movie theatre with a big screen. I thought it’d be immersive or something.

It could be mild paranoia on my part tbh.

I've been to the Monterey Aquarium at night. This huge stinking Tuna fish came barreling at the glass wall. I backed up about 10 feet because I thought he was going to crash through it and then he swerved at the last second. Scared me to death. I do remember they had cool jelly fish displays. I can't wait to go to the Long Beach one next week. I've been but it's been a while--10 or 11 years. I took two of my sister's kids last time and one had just turned 5. She's turning 16 this year. So 11 years. Boy does time fly!

Yeah, the only thing that came up was my linked in. A bunch of people have my name. It's pretty common. The first name is super common and the last name is common in the United States and New Zealand.

Yeah I’ve been to the Monterey bay one before and I remember being impressed but I hadn’t seen the Chicago one at that time and my cousins says the Much newer Atlanta one is absolutely fantastic. They’ve got whale sharks Roll Call 168 =) so i can only imagine how huge it is.

But the jellies were awesome there and I got a shirt with like an embroidered turtle and stuff.

I also want to go to Australia and New Zealand. That's on my bucket list. And take one of those European River Cruises. I want to see all the cathedrals and stuff in Europe! My Pastor's been. He said it was fantastic.

I need to start looking for jobs again. Texas is reinstating work search again and COVID pay is set to run out. Also my personal UI is gonna run out even sooner I think.
