.....and a certain couple finds it very funny
These days I meet people either as Diva or my actual self. I still haven't decided which is better because they both seem to have their drawbacks. Some men I have met as Diva have an impression of me from my blog and twitter that isn't quite accurate.
Then there are men I meet in my life through other means that have noting to do with Diva or blogging. The questions are difficult to answer at times when they ask me about myself. How do I explain the job I do for Quid Pro Quo without explaining how I ended up in it.
Recently a good friend of mine from out west wanted me to get to know of friend of his who now lived here on the east coast. He knew me as both my real self and Diva and asked me what email he should give his friend for me. I immediately replied with my vanilla email not wanting to have him google "Diva" if I used that one.
After a few emails with this man he asked me if I chat on yahoo. Sure I chat all over the Internet but the problem was I chat as Diva these days. I googgled my yahoo chat name and found all my Diva info right there.
I did what I have always done when I'm not quite sure what to do. I asked my best friend Tess. After a careful discussion of this it was decided I would create a vanilla yahoo name to give to my new friend and keep my Diva life private at this point.
When he next emailed me I responded with my new yahoo name and said I would be happy to chat with him. Sounds good doesn't it? What could go wrong with that?
I have several gmail emails that all forward to one account. Upon replying to this man I made sure I was replying with my vanilla email. After I hit the send button I then noticed the signature.
It had carried over my Diva signature.
Yes that one.
The one that says "Follow me on twitter: www.twitter.com/debaucheddiva
The one that had a link for this blog.
The one that also has a link for Best Sex Bloggers
The one that also has a link for Quid Pro Quo.
So instead of taking a chance and having this guy google my Diva yahoo chat name I went through all the trouble of creating a new one and then gave everything about me to him but my social security number.
It was a dumb ass thing I did.
My friends who came up with the idea of me getting to know him had a great laugh over this one. Last I knew he had not yet read my blog. I'm hoping he didn't pay attention to the signature line.
If not......Hi......yeah it's me. Which day did you want to meet for drinks again?

Jesus, I have done the same sort of thing before. It's a real pain in the ass living a double life. So much work to cover our trail(s). Might as well be Bonnie without the Clyde for all the trouble! Still, I'm glad you have a good sense of humor about it. That sure helps.
I'm sorry but I laughed when I read this, because I have been in that boat. I wanted to crawl under every rock possible and I had every excuse ready for all the questions that were gonna come my way. Thank God it went well and it really did not make a difference, or did it ? lol
Thanks for the good laugh. I made the same mistake this morning--in a somewhat different way--I was reading Alexa's Blog and clicked to Twitter, then accidentally started following a few non-vanilla types with my Professional Twitter Account. Thankfully I realized it quickly and deleted those people from the list of those I was following there....
i think you did the right thing in wanting to hide this from him to begin with but i dont see a problem introducing him to this side of yourself later down the road if you and he become friends i think everything will be ok you dont really need to worry about anything. it wasnt a dumbasss thing you did it was very conscienscious and good.
Haha, I've done the same thing myself, when I sent an email from my Thursday's Child email account to my sister accidentally!! Talk about oops, but it actually worked out and both of my sisters now know I write a sex blog.
BTW, I've got a sexy blogger award for you...http://www.sexnshoes.com/2009/05/i-am-a-sexy-blogger/!
I'd be blessed to know the total you. Maybe one day I'll get the chance.
oh diva...
let me tell you how reading this post brightened my morning. if you only knew the number of times i emailed or im'd from the wrong account. but this post is written so well - you capture each moment of the fear and horror we have all phased thru after having done such a thing. thank you for making me laugh this morning. xoxo.
I think we have all done it - so what happened?
I am smiling too because I can relate. The trickier I try to be, the more transparent I am.
