Online Personal Black Book

Not being blackmailed enough? Fucking so many people you can't keep track? Need worldwide access to your list of conquests? The solution you've been waiting for is at hand! My Black Book is a "secure" online service that allows you to post as many entries ("people you banged") and sessions ("ways in which you did it") as you need, and best of all, it's 100% free. unless you count the money you'll spend in blackmail fees.

At least once the CDC subpoenas their member info, they can more easily track who gave herpes to whom.

Many americans, both male and female keep track of whom they have slept with in either a little diary, or notebook. Really? REALLY?

In my excitement I started my list after reading the second sentence, not realizing it meant "fucking so many people" as "sexual congress with many partners" rather than "betraying a bunch of folks". My list is much shorter now.

Whoa, this is a weird idea. Looks like accounts are free, so their business model must be based on selling ads? I guess it could work, huh? People on the internets already think stuff isn't as public as it truly is, so I could see people making a password protected account as being very secure. It's even encryptalated. Personally, though, I think a diary hidden in the bottom of a toolbox with a lock on it is safer and much cooler than an online black book. Of course, I write lavish reminiscenses of my intimate encounters. Names in a book do not utilize fully my awesome writerly skillz. ...ok, so I totally don't do that.

Okay, obviously I won't be using this RETARDED service, but I can't be the only person who does something like this already, am I? I'm not talking about JUST people I mess around with. Not at all, actually. (And I certainly don't--guh!--keep track of positions, for Christ's sake. But I live in a mid-sized city where everybody knows everyone else, and it's useful for me to keep track of people I meet. I used to keep everything on index cards, but that got unmanageable, so I moved everything to a spreadsheet a few years ago. Okay, wait...back up. I'm making this a lot more complicated than it really is. A typical entry is something like "Tom. Lily's boyfriend. Used to live with Brian S. Lawyer. 10-06, Decatur St. 12-06, Circle Bar." Just something to jog my memory when I scroll through it. I spend MAYBE ten minutes a week updating everything. I guess this makes me sound like a total sociopath...? I don't know, I started it because I have kind of a bad memory and there were a few close calls where I didn't remember that someone knew someone else, so I started writing everything down. Just the act of doing that has helped me more than actually reading through the entries, something I don't actually do that often. I've thought about moving it out of a spreadsheet and into an offline wiki, but then I remembered that I basically don't care that much at all and also the idea that I could set up an offline wiki, if such a thing even exists, is pretty much in the realm of science fiction.

*backs away slowly* Uh-huh, no sir, no problem there at all. A spreadsheet of everyone you meet? Sounds good! *keeps hands visible, maintains eye contact* A wiki you say? excellent! Yes, gotta keep those social contacts completely organised. *disappears around corner. runs like hell*

Hey, thatwhichfalls, not everyone can have your natural social skills. I don't keep a database, but I do have an address book on my computer and my phone. Sometimes people are in as things like "Andy Tina'sBoyfriend". Is that so different? Is that so wrong? Hey, where'd he go?

I can't be the only person who does something like this already, am I? No you are not. In fact, Andy Warhol was much worse. In his published diaries he would note everyone he met, where they met, who else was there, what they ate, and to the penny, how much money was spent. (Though I suspect it was in part to protect himself from the tax man)

This site is no help at all for that fuzzy area where you're not sure if it was a "conquest" or not. I use it to count all the women I've stolen panties from. But the counters are all messed up because some of the panties might have never been worn.

I guess this makes me sound like a total sociopath...? No, that would be: Various family members. Names don't matter because, let's face it, they don't have any real existence or feelings in the same sense I do. Some humanoid. 12/01/06, made a left turn in front of me, complained after I drove him off road and beat him with tire iron. Attractive female. 8/06, met at office party, nice cologne; 8/06--9/06, stalked, went through trash; 10/10/06, gave it the hose because it wouldn't put the lotion on its skin. Terrier mix. 11/22/06, in park, coaxed over with Snausage, vivisected, chicken-fried. Delicious!

This service would seen require the actual knowledge of the, er, names of the parties involved. Far too complicated. I'll just stick to being a legend in my own mind. (It also reminds me of that Monty Python skit with the TV show "Blackmail" where they show the tape and then request that you send money to this address which is behind a waterpipe in an alley somewhere. Good times, good times.)

The guy who started this site called into the Penn Gillette radio show a few weeks ago saying that he had "heard about a cool site", etc. Penn finally teased out of him that he was in fact the creator of the site, but couldn't figure out what possible use anyone would have for it, much less what kind of business model could make it viable.

AHAHAHA! This reminds me... I had a boyfriend who kept a detailed Word document of everyone he'd ever slept with, what they were like in bed, and the likelihood of a repeat encounter. Actually, my accidental finding of this document and entries dated after we got together is why we're no longer a couple. "Honey, it's not what it looks like!" doesn't really fly when you've just read a detailed description of her likes, dislikes, and labia, y'know?

Back when I was doing a lot of sketch comedy, I came up with a bit called Fuckster, about a commercial for FUCKSTER, the new Who's-Fucked-Who's-Fucked-Who websire. As a prop for the show, I made a diagram with myself in the center and everyone I had ever slept with branching out, then whoever they'd slept with and so on. It got passed all over and became a little creepy, enveloping faaaaar to many people from Chicago's punk shows, coffee houses, and art schools for any of our comfort. I still keep it alive in my head but wouldn't dare commit it to paper again. My favorite part came from real life, where after I'd made the list, people would try to stump me. Becca: Connect me to Ramon in under 9 steps. ELR: You fucked Chris who fucked Natalie who fucked me who fucked Nikole who fucked Pat-o-phile who fucked Ashley who fucked Ramon.
