Changes Being Made, Please Stand By

In light of recent events and the rapid influx visitors led here by google searches of the unsavory type I've made the decision to go Anonymous.

It was ok in the beginning of my blog (I thought) to have my picture up and be fun and free and all that but as the subject matter of my writing as changed over time it's come to my attention that I need to protect not only myself but my family and friends.

My blog pals that come here on a regular basis often refer to me by the first name in my IP address, (a lindy star is actually a simulated gem stone that was very popular in the 80's see to your right(and it's acutally spelled linde star but we all know I great I am with spelling!)) strangers often call me Danielle (Danielle is the screen name of one of the first bloggers that I started reading way back when) and others call me Hor.

I'd appreciate it if my super-great-and-wonderful-commenting pals would hence forth just call me Dhor. No, I'm not a hor in real life but for the sake of my identity and the sanity of my family I would appreciate if anyone that KNOWS my real-life name would refrain from using it. As for my IP address name and my blog header name I'd like to for-go the use of those as well for the sake of just plain not confusing new folks that come here.

One more is the nickname and name that I've used for my fiance. It wasn't very bright of me to ever type them here but I did and it's done (and has been edited out the best I can) but from now on I would appreciate if you would all just refer to him as C. (or any of my variations of burrito-boy, mexi-man, whatever ;)

Thanx to you all in advance for your respect and understanding.

Ok! That's enough of that, let's get back to business! :)

Woah woah woah! you're not a hor in real life? What the hell? Then why have I been coming here all this time?!

heh.

Seriously, we all do forget that blogs seldom remain "anonymous" to our enemies. I'm guilty of the same.

D-HOR said...

Thanx Effort :) So why DO you come here? I like having you around but if it's not for the horin then what??? ;)

And yeah sometimes it's not enemies that catch wind but maybe our Dads.

Oh boy.

CruiserMel said...

Oh geez, Hor, I do hope this is a proactive and not a reactive move one your part. Keep safe. And keep the funny coming!

Krissie said...

Bio-Dad: Dhor, that blog of yours... Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

Dhor (smiling sweetly): And what exactly were you googling that has led you to my blog, Bio-Dad?

Bio-Dad drops the subject for eternity.

D-HOR said...

Thanx Cruiser, and yeah I'm fine but my poor family is scarred for life.

Krissie - I wish but it was all very innocent. Crap. Crap. Crap.

Sgt said...

It was the cow skull that led them to you wasn't it?

Yeah, I think it would be funny to trace back and see just what led the family to you ;-)

Let's hope he never figures out what "Jill'ng" off means

Mighty Dyckerson said...

HOR!! This is all way too complicated. I'll just call you the future Mrs. Dyckerson.

Sassy Blondie said...

More power to you, Horgirl! :)

Well, by the name 'lindystar', I would guess your real name is something similar... probably 'Lindsay' or something. I'm fairly sure you live in the southern US at this point, probably Texas or California, and with the landmarks/places you've mentioned it wouldn't be too hard to find out exactly where.

So, you probably won't be found by accident, but if somebody's trying to stalk you...

D-HOR said...

Sgt. - :) It was saved in the "Favorites" of my step mom. I had told her about it long ago before all the sex talk. But then the fateful day happened that her husband decided to get on her computer. END GAME. :) Ohhhh boy.

Dyck!! What are you talking about!!! YOU ARE SASSY'S MAN!! I would NEVER tred on her territory. And I'm telling!

Alan you asshat did you not get the whole "trying to be anon" theme? Leave it be Jr. Detective!

Glitterstim said...

Oh, I completely understand this, Hor-gal. I can only imagine what you've gone through with being "discovered" like that! That's why I change all names in my blog, and use Blogget. I'd love to be more personal than that, but it's too risky....

Anyone who knew me fairly well and started reading my blog would know *instantly* who wrote it, and I'd be in big trouble.... And I blogged early on about how easy it can be to find someone in cyberspace. More power to ya :o)

D-HOR said...

Thanx Blogget :)

Sgt said...

Ahhh.. back when you were just "Not Cool"

Good rule of thumb: always post with the understanding that everyone will read this. You never know when a friend of a readers friend's mom's bunco partner is a family member

D-HOR said...

Sgt! I'm still not cool! Never been never will be and that's ok by me. :) Hell if I ever GOT cool then what would I do?? I'd come half out of my skin trying to MAINTAIN my cool status. Oh god I'm gonna hypervenalate (ok fuck spell check I can't even get close enough for it to fix that word!!) if I just think about it too long.

Anonymous said...

Haha Dhor!
There's a reason why nowhere on te internet do I use my real name. It's always a variation of Bel. I've once thought of using my real name on Myspace, but then changed it back because I realised pupils of mine might track me down.

******* said...

Dhor, I recently put your blog on my links. If you want, I'll remove it. If you go further underground, let me know. I'd hate to not be able to read your blog anymore. I've become a regular.

Thor said...

Dear Dhor,

I know where you live.
I know your real name.
I know your friends and family.
I know how creepy this sounds :P

Miss ya Dhor. I'm gonna try and get back into blogging once school and work settle down. Work is freaking out b/c it's the holiday season, and school is freaking out b/c I only have a month left.

Anonymous? What happens to all the posts from the past? Are you going to delete them?

Hope it works out!

-THor

Anonymous said...

At least you are safe with me across the Atlantic!! It would seem like in a country the size of the US you could remain kind of anonymous. I guess we all have to think a second time about what information we do give out. I hope you are not hurt by people around you!

Anyway, I am sure you would enjoy what I gave my darling for fathers day.

D-HOR said...

Belle - Yeaaahhh you're a bit brighter bulb than me :)

ROSA!! E EEEEEEEKK!!! I'm so flattered that you put me on! Don't take me off that would be terrible! :) And thank you!!

Travis, no I'm not deleting anything, just changing names and taking off certain pics. The blog is STAYING damn it, just not the names. :) HA HA "School is busy b/c I only have a month left" So you sort of need to start doing some work now right? :) Love it, PROCRASTINATORS UNITE!!!

Lady - Thanx, and I think I'll be just fine but nothing wrong with taking some precautions. :) What gift? Is this a ploy to get me to come read your latest post? Well it worked. Here I come! :)

Sparx said...

Ah, the price of fame! I will try to remember this however you must in turn remember that I am ancient and suffering from frequent bouts of memory loss.

So. DHor. Not Danielle, which, after all, is your screen name. Is this like JLo? Are you going to put out a perfume? The DHOR scent - latex, KY, a little alley cat and the hint of taco perhaps?

Well done you for the audience by the way, you really deserve it, your blog is great.
