My Secret Identity

Jump to Comments

Lately, I have been thinking a lot about my secret identity as TheCheckoutGirl and how it relates to my other my other, “real” identity. You know, the one listed on my name tag. That’s right, junior detectives, I wear a name tag. Another piece of the puzzle falls into place!

The truth is, were someone to be terribly determined, it wouldn’t be difficult to discover who I am. First, I talk exactly like I write. Anyone who was a regular reader and paid even the slightest bit of attention, plus bothered to have a three minute conversation with me, would know me without any trouble. Second, several people know my real name, as I wasn’t at all secretive when I started this blog. I guess if you know who to ask, and I have maybe made them angry recently, you could know *lots* of things about me. Finally, there are really only so many people I could be. Richmond is a small town, especially when you are trying to keep a secret.

Of course, TCG is not the first faux persona I have worn in my life. Naturally, I used a classy fake name in my previous, “adult” profession. Sadly, I didn’t use the tried and true “childhood pet’s name + name of street you grew up on = porn star name” method. I wasn’t even aware of its brilliance at the time. No, *that* name was gifted to me by another girl in the profession. Still, it performed its function, which was to keep from people knowing my real name.

Oddly enough, the two jobs, and personas, cross paths from time to time. When at work, every now and then someone will look at me with that “Where do I know her from?” look on their face. When that happens, I am sure my panic is visible. What I am thinking at exactly that moment is this, “Jesus, have they seen me naked or have they read my blog?”

For now, though, I ain’t skeered. Even if someone were to discover who I am, what is the worst that could happen? They would tell on me? To whom? And what would happen from there? I guess the worst-case scenario is that I would have to retire TheCheckoutGirl and develop a different (but still just as sassy) persona and keep on truckin’ in a different incarnation. I promise you that, one way or another, I am sticking around.
