True Confession #1

[judecorp]

Overheard at lunch today during my GLBT Helpline training during several random conversations:

Young Guy: (low voice) Do you have a LiveJournal?
Young Woman: Yeah, do you?
Me: ACK! LiveJournal is EVERYWHERE!!?!?!

Dude, I thought the ever-pervasiveness of LJ was totally a Columbus thing. Boy was I ever fecking wrong! Maybe I /can/ be a REAL ROCK STAR here!

p.s. In the same conversation, said Young Guy told Young Woman that when he was thinking of volunteering, he googled "GLBT Helpline" and came up with an LJ entry. (He asked if it was hers.) I followed along quietly, all the while thinking in my head, "Good gods, I bet it's totally mine." (I'm in the Top 50 of Googled LJs, yo!)

And I came home.

And I checked.

And it is SO me.

(p.s. Happy Birthday, vorpalbla!)

Atlanta was *totally* like that. New York and its suburban areas (including Boston and Jersey) are too, I think.

But I think the phenomenon is more recognizable in a smaller city, because the sheer percentage of people you can come into closer contact with is higher. Though I also think part of the reason it just hit me here this weekend is that I don't usually get a chance to be in contact with a lot of younger (than me) people.
