Spotted!!(?)!
Hey get this - yesterday I was hanging out at Mojo’s in Freo watching Schvendes and One Horse Town and a guy came up to me and asked if my name was Mark. At first I thought he was some random or a person who had seen my old band, but it turned out he was a blog reader - a guy who goes by the alias of Bob. He had picked my face from some time when I had posted a picture of myself, probably ages ago. How damn cool is that? Bob turned out to be a nice guy as well. He goes to the same uni I went to.
So, in honor of my first time being spotted as a blogger, I have made this self-portrait:
It’s a little bit wrong, but oh so right.

You are internet famous! There is no better kind of famous!
Also, being internet famous requires you to post pictures of yoruself with no clothes on! Oh wait, you already did. Nevermind. :p

At least he recognised you by a photograph of your face, which is more than could be said for some people on the internet!
…although with that shirtless photograph, you’ve probably opened up yourself to a whole new group of fans :)

Your very first online stalker, WOO! That is pretty cool, someone out thinks that what you do in the blog world is memorable.
And seconding all the above shirtless comments ;)

That is so awesome!
At least it was someone cool and not some creepy guy with a tom selleck mustache.

Congrats on your new blog-lebrity status.
More importantly ‘yay!’ for the fact that your fan was not a stalker. Stalkers suck

Glen - Bummer. He’s pretty easygoing though, so I don’t think he’ll mind.
T - Damn right. You can have membership badge 0001 in the fan club.
Liz - see? It’s all coming together for me. Now all I have to do is make up an Amazon wishlist and I’ll be set for life.
James - Hmm, ‘other’ fans hey? Other fans that are coming in via links from your site?
Mish - yeah, I’m so stoked. And thanks :) PS: are you the old Misha? If so, add: *blush*
Julia - Yeah, it was really more of a Charles Bronson moustache. And missing teeth and a horrible smell.
Shelley - hey, you can’t stop the rock, can you biatch? But okay, I’ll put a shirt on now.
Winter - I think there’s a stalker story in that. Wanna tell?

Sure, which one do you want to hear? Thankfully they’re all pretty lame. All of them needed remedial stalking school.

Don’t worry Mark, I’ve added a link from my blog to your pic. You WILL pick up a new audience, though you may not necessarilly want it.
