I'm extremely paranoid about identity theft. I have no
hard figures for everyone else's respective countries, but I
can imagine the figure is large enough to be disturbing; I
once heard that in the united states 1 in 10 people will
experience it to some extent within the course of their
lives (most definitely an alarmist statistic (how do you
define 'to some extent'?), but still worthy of concern).

Anyway so I'm packing up, moving out, and had to dispose of
a checkbook, one of those annoying ones with duplicates of
all written checks, hence with all sorts of information
about me appearing twice..

..so I marked out important sections..

..and yes burned the damned thing.

too bad my apartment smells now. By the way, whenever a
receipt has my full credit card number, I mark it out (both
sides of paper) with a thick permanent marker and tear it up
violently--this tedious procedure is actually blindingly
quick.

so I was tearing the ruined, blackened, wet remains of the
checkbook, and the shit was all over my hands. Had a nice
texture--nothing quite so crumply.

see you

I had a burning phase for about a month when I was 8..

sorry no digital camera, I can't make this artful like
everyone else

Identity theft is just what it sounds--someone pretending to
be you. It manifests itself in all sorts of ways, but
always depends on getting some documentation about it and
capitalizing on the fact that things are so indirect in our
world..

For instance, if you go through a trash bin, you could
likely find some credit card numbers, a social security
number, etc. For instance I took over my brother's old cell
phone service, and all I had to know about him to do so were
a few figures which could easily be gleaned from a large
number of documents.

It's a silly thing to be paranoid about, but imagine how
frustrating it is to be attacked by something like this, and
like I said, lots of people have it happen.

I get paid.. about 6000 norwegian kroner each month (not
much, but enough) (+ they paid for my Roskilde ticket (1300)
+++)

yeah, well.. sometimes income = fun.. I'm saving for musical
equipment, but it's hard because I have to spend all my
money on food and clothes and general drunkenness.

Whoa, hearing my first name in this context makes me
embarrassingly emotional =)

thanks for the picture

Well, I have plenty of music is part, wasting time is part
too, also I'm going to be disconnected for lots of the next
1.5 months, so I'm just kind of getting used to that. I
miss all the nice people though. I'll collect email
addresses before disappearing for a while to stay in touch.
Packing all this shit and throwing away lots makes me feel
ridiculously sentimental--memories of things to be given up,
lost forever.

I of course quadrupled my posting frequency here, heh.

time to pull a jeroen (friend's cell phone cam, ~3 month old
pic)
