Under The Same Name

Googling yourself can be addicting, but annoying, especially if there is someone famous with your name - or, in my case, several famous people: a girl in Canada who had a blood transplant with her fifteen minutes of fame and an actress with blonde hair and way too much lipstick. Look my name up. You'll see. If your name is a Google fail, you can always Google a friend. Top hit for LG: Some photography business. Top hit for JD: A response to a question on WikiAnswers about the Revolutionary War. Top hit for Ms. N: A British historian with a Rachel Maddow haircut. Here is the problem: They think you are a stalker for looking them up, not a bored pre-teen with a new computer who is sick of looking at pictures of Canadian toddlers.

Sometimes when you want to get to know someone, they get suspicious. That's what makes it so hard to make a move and ask someone about themselves. They might not want to let you in. If only everyone could Google in peace, happy that they have someone who cares enough to ask if they have any siblings, their favorite color, or if they are experts on the Revolutionary War.
