Geez...This has me pegged. LOL
You Are An Attention Seeker
You're only human, so you can't help but want a little attention every now and then.
You love the spotlight, but only when it's well deserved. You'd hate to be known for the wrong thing.
And you also don't mind sharing the spotlight. You can easily give someone else credit or a complement.
You know there's enough attention to go around, and it makes you happy when your friends shine.
You come across as: Friendly and interesting
People may wrongly think you're: A little more modest than you actually are!

I wish I could google myself. Unfortunately, there's a rather famous doctor with the same name as me... Coincidence? Maybe not.

Try your real name steuss. I can google, Imwashingmypirate, washingmypirate and two combinations of my name to find things written by myself. I am just going to check them out in a bit. One forum I only went on once or twice, so I'd be intrigued to see what has been replied.
Just punched myself on the face...

I was actually refering to my real name. For the most part, I have a monopoly on "Doctor Steuss."

You seem to be suggesting that the way to avoid shame is to post anonymously. Given the kinds of shameful things you write, I can see your point. But, there is no call for you to project this onto all anonymous posters, and certainly not those who post under their real names. ;-)
Thanks, -Wade Englund-

Willfully misunderstanding now, Wade? Been reading a lot of charity lately?
I'd be interested in you citing an example of something I've written that you think is shameful.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.
