Unlike Most Female Philadelphians, Kerri-Lee Halkett Not Completely Terrified Of Dan McQuade

Yesterday, Phillyist contributor G.W. Bridge had an interview on the blog with none other than Kerri-Lee Halkett. Did you know Kerri-Lee is from Canada? Yeah, you probably knew that. Did you know she doesn’t visit Kerri-Lee.com but knows the information on it is out-of-date?

Anyway, the interview also touched on yours truly — because, really — and despite actual television footage to the contrary, I’m always a little nervous that people I write about will one day hunt me down and I’ll wake up dead one morning.

Well, it appears I’m somewhat in the clear:

Several local bloggers, like Daniel McQuade, seem to talk about you a lot, and your blog on the station website generates a great deal of comments, some a bit unusual. How do you feel about this and do you enjoy blogging?

Well the world of blogging is a powerful one. That is the lesson I have learned. Be careful what you write in a blog, because it will wind up cut and pasted on everybody else’s blogs. I think it is kind of fun. My mom taught me a very good lesson, never say anything, never write anything, never do anything that you don’t want everybody to know about or respond to. So I kind of blog with that rule in mind. If this was going to get everywhere, would I be comfortable with that? So when I do see it cut and pasted and that sort of thing, I always think I suspected that one.

I just didn’t realize it could be as powerful as it is and I think that excites me and scares me a little bit. So, yeah, I am intrigued by the whole blogging thing and yes we do have to blog.

Oh crap. Write things you don’t want everybody to know about? Well, damn, maybe I shouldn’t have that reading about how disappointed I am in myself.

Since KLH didn’t mention me specifically in her answer, I can only assume one of two things: (1) She’s cool with the blog, or (2) She doesn’t want to say anything mean. Either way, it works for me!
