And self consciousness sinks in.
Guys who I know (hi Dave!) have found out about my blog, so now I’m going to have to defend it in person rather than against abstract concepts (hi WiBu!).

About Wilf's Blog
I'm a mathematician, but apart from that, I'm a fairly normal guy. I used to write a blog - this blog. I write (wrote) about whatever is on my mind. It can get quite personal sometimes.
Hi Wilf!
Of course Ruairidh. Hi!
I didn’t think (though I should have done) that after whining like a pussy (about going to uni), that when people actually met me here and Googled me, they’d realise I’m actually a bit of a pussy. Not really the kind of impression I want to give. Ken what I ken like ken?
Precisely why I write anonymously these days, though I would prefer not to. I have found that I actually seem to write some interesting stuff when hiding behind a fake name. What a pussy ?_?
A cat.
Come on WiBu, I want to read it! Not fair 🙁 Is the interesting stuff that you write embarrassing to you in some way?
I think my look of disapproval got mangled by WordPress, the “What a pussy ?_?” was not a question, it was a comment on me writing anonymously. I have not disintegrated into typing Engrish yet.
Is it embarrassing? No. I just find I am able to write better and more freely when I am not directly linked to it. I would hazard a guess that there is some deep seated anxiety which holds me back when under my own name/WiBu. When writing anonymously it disappears and I can just throw stuff down and not really give a fuck, something which I am slowly learning to do in real life/under my own name, but not yet.
Engrish > weird shapes imho(tep).
Well that’s alright I suppose. It’s weird and I don’t get it, but it seems to help you so that’s what you should do.
When/if you feel like letting other eyes see it, I’d be keen to have a look (and I’d keep it to myself of course).
What sort of stuff are you writing about anyway?
Whatever I am thinking about: Existence, the meaning of life/purpose/reason, certainty/uncertainty, the finite/infinite, the subjective/objective, the value of things, emotions/happiness, why we do what we do, design theory… and so on. Basically there is no topic. It is more of an exercise in writing than anything else, writing about ideas as a way of thinking/forcing myself to think. At the moment I do not do any editing or deleting, I just write and see what comes out.
I do not get the anonymity thing either, it is not like it matters either way. One day I shall become a Wolf.
Did you know, Wilf, that DMG has dropped out of uni!?
NO?!! WTF? Why?
What a complete failure.
