Okay, I know the tack I SHOULD take, but I also know that I don't WANT to take it. Please kick me in the ass.
I have a pro blog. It is not friended to anyone yet (except one person who will just have to deal.) I made last.fm, twitter, delicious, musicbrainz, shelfari, and tumblr accounts based on the name of that journal, but only the last.fm has exactly the same name. There is also a plus lj based on the name, for hosting background photos. Additionally, this journal is linked to my real name.
The name of the journal is based on a very obscure song lyric; it's not impossible to figure out, but it's also not part of the main vocal track so it's harder to hear than not.
AFTER I set everything up, I googled the name. There are several other users of the same name in different fora; the google hits list me three times (last.fm, lj, lj profile page) and then list an article entitled something like "Fuck the FCC in its ass" about the FCC fining a college radio station for playing a Scorsese interview that included fuck. There's also a MySpace, and a few other things. Obviously, none of these are mine, but there is no way to prove this that I expect anyone to spend more than two seconds on.
Therefore: a poll!
