Though  I’ve  had  this  blog  site  since  2011, my “unofficial” blog began in 2012 when I made a fan page for my trivia team Miskatonic  University  Fighting  Cephalopods. There, I posted updates  about my team and recaps of pub trivia  games. And it developed  quite a following! I can’t  tell  you  how many folks  I met while serving  as an admin for the page. The trivia “blogs” evolved  over the years  from detached third  person accounts  to the more “personal” ones you see today.

One of my earliest  page followers was a guy  on a rival  trivia  team  who used  a  pseudonym  as his  screen  name. Actually, a couple  of my early page followers matched  this description! We were also friends on Facebook, and we would occasionally  chat about…trivia. Then he disappeared  from Facebook, as did another longtime  page follower. I didn’t know  him well, so no big! People come and go from your life right?

Last  July, this guy kind of popped  into my life  again. He showed  up to an ’80s movies  trivia night  and said “Are you guys the ‘Pods?” Yes…yes we are!

Last week this guy “liked” my trivia page. Again. Using  a different pseudonym   (one more closely resembling his “real” name).

Good to have another page “stalker!” I have really enjoyed the whole “trivia blogging” experience. Sad thing  about  this  blog  site  is that  it  doesn’t  allow for much interaction with readers. Maybe I will need to upgrade this page?  Will have  to look  into it!
