“Have you heard of ‘Emily’s Posts’? It’s this really famous blog in America.”
— us, to this Israeli cab driver.
That’s his iPad. He follows me now.
Not sure he knows it, though.

All my friends: “I want to make the blog! How do I make the blog?”
By not doing that.
Therapist: “Just so you know, I do not read your blog. As your therapist, I think it’s a conflict of interest, and actually a patient privacy issue. So if we’re ever in a session and you refer to something you’ve written about, just know I haven’t already read it– not because I don’t WANT to, but out of respect for the doctor/patient relationship.”
Me: “Oh my gosh, of course, I totally get and respect that you don’t read it– that makes complete sense!”
Bitch.
A lot of you have been asking me if this guy is now paranoid that I am going to blog everything he says/does.
Nah. I don’t think so. Why?
So, this happened last night.
And you’ve all been asking what his reaction was.
Well, he’s now spent a good chunk of time reading the blog today and…
That moment when you’re on a 6th date with someone, and you’re wondering how you should tell him about the fact that you have a blog about dating (slash mental health…slash teaching…slash family…slash most details of your everyday existence). So you resolve to tell him soon, but first you want to go back and delete any weird posts he might be referenced in.
That subsequent moment when, as you’re thinking all this, a guy sitting at the next table from you and your date leans over and says, “Hi, sorry, I don’t mean to interrupt, but I think we went to high school together. I read your blog!”
So, yeah. He knows now.
