It would probably sell better if it was crying.
I don't get it.
Sorry, this reminds me of that gratuitous crying eagle graphic that was on every web page after 9/11.

I was a senior in high school. I think I just used the internet to post shit on livejournal and fight with my boyfriend on AIM.

But, totally.
I still have a livejournal. And when I went to high school, I spent my time posting Night Ranger lyrics to my BBS.

Also, while I'm here, I might as well mention -- back in June I reposted a video of you eating a Hostess cupcake while dancing to a Counting Crows song. Now you're like the number one search engine result on my blog.

You beat my own name, you beat John McCain, you beat Jessica Coen, you even beat Steve fucking Jobs and I post about him all the time...

No matter what I post or how long I neglect that blog, every day I get 12 Google hits for Molly McAleer. Which is my way of asking: Jesus Christ, how many stalkers do you have?

It always makes me a little uneasy when I see somebody hit that post because I'm not sure a 37 year old man should really be posting video of a girl your age eating cupcakes.

I mean, there are no laws against it. The church isn't going to condemn me for it. But it still feels a bit icky to me.

I wasn't trying to be salacious. I even tried to spin it into a kind of meta-commentary about cultural changes and the generation gap.

But I think I've refrained from commenting in your blog for the past few months because I feel slightly ashamed of that post. As if, by watching you eat cupcakes, I have participated in something obscene.

I have actually been known to curse at the anonymous men searching for your name, "Get off my site, you perverts!" I say to my monitor and my faithful treadmill, as if they could absolve me for my part in this affair.

But this is thorny ethical territory, to say the least. If these men are perverts for consuming material I reposted, then what am I?

I would probably feel better if you told me those Google hits were you constantly searching for your own name.

I just wanted to get that off my chest.
OK, it's OK. I'm glad you got it off your chest. It's totally fine though, I promise.

I'm sure you get the most hits for me because I have a lot less mentions than any of the people you listed above. Also, it's probably just people who hate me. It's totally, totally fine.

Also, that video is a little fetishy and weird, and you know, I'm 24 and it's all just fun and jokes, so you really shouldn't feel dirty. It's not my webcam, it's the videos I get paid to do as a part of my job. If someone doesn't say something, I'm not making an impact.

In summary, you've probably only helped me and I'm sorry if you beat yourself up about it.

Thanks for commenting. Feel free to keep in touch.
I have also been known to exaggerate my prudishness, from time to time, for the sake of a good joke.

But your forgiveness is much appreciated.
I just randomly stumbled upon this, not as a stalker, but as a procrastinating internet wanderer.
That's great! That's what it's here for.
