Discovery & Disclosure
Ok, my first year of law school officially ends tomorrow at 5 p.m. and I have a question for all my dear and beloved readers: Who am I? Do you know? Would you tell me if you did?
I ask b/c Favorable Dicta just posted about being "found out," and DG has disclosed her identity to some friends. Like them, I've taken a few small steps to actively conceal my identity (like not posting under my given name), but for the most part I assume anyone who wants to know who I am could figure it out. Referral logs tell me that at least someone at GW reads ai fairly regularly, and there have been indications that at least a couple of people have made the physical connection. I don't think about it often, but sometimes I wonder. Who reads ai and how many of those readers know me? How many do I know? As I think about starting the summer job, I wonder even more.
So: If you read ai and know me, please say hello. I've only kept my name off of these pages to stay, as the Energy Spatula puts it, "below google radar." I haven't really talked about ai with my classmates because it's simply never come up. One friend asked me once if I had a blog. I said yes, and that was that. She didn't ask any more about it. Perhaps she was just confirming what she already knew.
Anyhoo, I believe at least a couple "blawgers" will (likely?) be in D.C. this summer or fall for summer jobs or for school. If that group includes you, please look me up (email always works) so we can make our plans for legal world domination in person, rather than just virtually. Coffee's always good.

i had a dream last night, where i was at a party with all these people i didn't know, but i was getting to know them and impressing and flirting and whatnot, and then the one that i did know, at the end of the party, revealed that they've all been reading my blog all along. and i felt so naked.

I don't know, but that doesn't mean I'm not following you around secretly ;)

I know who you are, but mostly because I put 2 and 2 together. I am a 1L at GW too. and I even bought something at the auction!
Posted by: Jen at May 5, 2004 07:50 AM
I know you. But then, you and L already know that ;)

I think we're in the NLG together.

I know you. But you know me. And we both knew we knew that, so we're even. :)
(Suddenly I feel as if I'm in an episode of Friends...y'know, "But they don't know we know they know.")

I think a lot more GW 1Ls read this than you may think. I don't know you, but I am a regular reader.
Woo-hoo!!! Prop-law!!

Prop-law? Oh yeah, the good times are killing me! (Which just happens to be a new Modest Mouse track that I've had on repeat all day while I've been working on the monster property outline that is too big and unwieldy to really help much tomorrow. Ick.)
Thanks everyone for saying hello! Now why don't you good people have blogs of your own so that the degree of reciprocity of advantage derived from reading would be higher? Oops. That was a bit of takings analysis there. Sorry. ;-)

Don't know you, but I know I have been "outed" by quite a few GULC classmates. I'd definitely be up for a caffeine-filled, world domination, DC blawger "reveal" this summer.

Hey, a DC blawger "reveal" could be fun! Anyone else interested?
