Looking at whole websites devoted to hating on the latest celebutante, or searching a certain Ms. Lohan's name and finding more hits about her showing her no-nos and punching her lady-friend than about the many many movies she's starred in, or just seeing what interests the people at Gawker these days (I don't know who Peaches Geldoff is, but man do I know she SUCKS), it might lead you to believe that there are few things worse than being well-known.
One of those few things is being completely unknown.
Googling your name, in and out of quotes, only to find Michigan high school volleyball team results (and you grew up in Oklahoma) is insulting. Doing every variation of your name afterward that you can think of and coming up with those same results, plus a couple random Russian-language sites? Desperately deperessing.
Of course I maintain my complete and utter superiority complex towards Big Brother and the Real World and Wife Swap…but if the producers are hitting a dry spell…well, suffice it to say that there will be no confusion, at least not on google, as to who belongs to my e-mail.

Common symptoms of puberty include: braces, frizzy hair, baby fat, having a crush on 8th grader Steve Julius, blinding body odor and lame extracurricular interests like the violin or Bedazzling.
However, if personal experience has taught us anything, it's that there are experiences in life far more awkward, scary and pathetic than puberty. Here is a list of things that are:
WORSE THAN PUBERTY

Only after googling my own name did I realize I'm actually an elementary school teacher in Iowa and some kind of trampy college student in Puerto Rico.
