A Bit Much

The tension generated by my suspicion that more relevant people than I know know about this blog may know about this blog is getting to be a bit much. I told exactly two people, a married couple in the building, about this quite some time ago. I told my brother about it. There was a link to this blog on my private myspace account a long time ago, but that’s been since removed. I also allowed the residents of a certain other apartment in the building to find out about this blog in a roundabout way, last week. In short, the only two people in the building who know for sure that I write this blog are two in whom I have the highest confidence, and the two others, who I allowed to find out round-aboutly, may suspect but could never prove it, and I am confident that they would not feel the need to.
Why then the round-about references from people I haven't told, the “in” comments in guise of small talk? People who should absolutely not know about this blog seem to know about this blog. Some one by whom my presence once went unacknowledged for years said “thank you” to me four times the other day in the course of a simple elevator ride. I am flabbergasted.
It’s a bit much. I’m not sure if I can keep doing this.

In the meantime, here’s something everyone should read.
