Elite  3223    Hendersonville |  Subject: I Googled MyselfI was bored the other day so I Googled myself. The first thing that came up was from my kids' school web site (I'm on the PTO board). Everything else was race results, going back to 1999 when I did a team triathlon in my home town with my brother, sister, and dad (its a run, bike, canoe race). Now I'm curious what everyone else will find when they Google themselves. Anyone want to play? Jessica |

That is hilarious!! Jessica I just hope I was a gentleman. One, it's the right thing to do. Two, depending on her age and state of residence I could be guilty of a multitude of crimes. |

Turns out I am a Missing Child!! http://www.angelsmissing.com/forum/HALEY_SHAW_MISSING-t1873.html "my" other results: a celebration of 25 years of employment (i'm not even 25 yet), some random pics with people I don't know, my fantastic playing in a basketball game (never played in my life) My real results were various marathon and running results, my 2nd place finish in a 5k in high school (yaaayyy! my best race ever!), and triathlon results. |

| Veteran 138 Aurora, CO | Subject: RE: I Googled Myself My name happens to be the same as a finalist for Miss England 2004. She's absolutely gorgeous, a member of MENSA. Pretty much every result that comes up for my name in google is about her. Oh, and there's also a professor of chemistry and biochemistry from UCSD. Guess I have a lot to live up to, better get working! |

Elite Veteran 777 flatland | Subject: RE: I Googled Myself I am impossible to find on google unless you also know a lot more about me than my name. One of the blessings of having an incredibly generic name, for which I thank my parents daily. However, my doppelnamers are a motley lot, including an indie acoustic-geetar-playin' girl in New England (who looks disturbingly like my ex), a classic rock DJ, someone involved in a punk band, and the usual suspects of high school sprinters, soccer players, etc. Google is a wonderous thing, ain't it?  |

| molto veloce mama 9311 | Subject: RE: I Googled Myself team lung, race results, geneology searches, attachment parenting stuff. nothing scary at least! an old high school boyfriend tracked me down recently. he was a borderline stalker after we broke up. he called my parents and since my mother had no idea how strange he had behaved when we were 18, she gave him my phone number. people change, its been nearly 15 years, right? it was fine talking to him, until he brought up how i did at the autumn woods classic 10k last year. i'm sure he just googled my name, but it was still creepy. he didn't even say 'i googled you name to see if could find some contact info' or anything. yucko. |

Is it just me, or does everyone goolge everybody? Not to hijack the thread, but I thought this was just something people do. Any other closet googlers want to come out? |

| Master 1480 Southwest Chicago 'burbs | Subject: RE: I Googled Myself I am... ...a fairly famous folk singer/song-writer (award-winning vocalist, it says!) ...real estate agent ...relationship coach and columnist for the Chicago Redeye magazine ...a participant (but not a winner!) on the TV show Fear Factor back in 2001 ...a skipper (here's a quote from "me" ... "If I didn't skip, I'd feel repressed and confined and whipped and broken spirited and lots of other bad things." I'm so eloquent.) And even though I've done a fair amount of races, I don't personally make an appearance on google until page 4. That's okay... my other "me"'s have led more interesting lives, apparently. |

| molto veloce mama 9311 | Subject: RE: I Googled Myself i have no problem that he googled me...its that he brought up info he wouldn't know otherwise, and didn't admit that he'd googled me. my mom didn't say anything about my racing when she gave him my number. it was just creepy, especially considering his past behavior. autumn = heart breaker |

Oh yeah...bringing up obscure info like that, out of the blue, is definitley creepy. No doubt. You've gotta keep that info in your pocket |
. But google is great for learning more about people you're interested in (as long as you don't use it for stalking purposes). | 2005-07-19 9:56 AM in reply to: #201920 |
| St. Louis, MO | Subject: RE: I Googled Myself Fun! All the stuff that came up for me was related to work. Presentations and publications I worked on. Also, I pop up on my high school alumni page. Apparently someone with my name also lost a baby in 2001, very sad. If I google my maiden name, I get all kinds of healing arts related things. None of which are me. |

Not to hijack the thread, but I thought this was just something people do. Any other closet googlers want to come out? All my high school friends bitch about not being able to find me on google. It's a good tool for finding the long-lost. Like anything else powerful, it can also be misued and creepy. I showed up a the play of a woman I last saw 11 years ago. Stalkerish and creepy? Yeah. But I had no other way to get in touch with her and it was locally publicized. I had no idea we lived in the same town. I used Google to verify that it was her before I trekked to a play, found a photo. I did have the decency to feel kinda wierd about stalking someone. Does that help? |

| Expert 736 Longview, TX | Subject: RE: I Googled Myself Wow, there are tons of race results for running, cycling, and triathlons for me and newspaper articles on races that I did back in high school. Then there are a few school related ones like top 25 stuff in high school, being and engineering ambassador, peer mentor, etc. Oh and a couple of Longview bike club stuff. Most of the stuff is actually me since I have kind of an uncommon last name. Funny thing though, one day I googled my sister's name and turns out there was some woman in Oklahoma with the same name and this woman was a runner and there were lots of race results for her. I find it humorous since my sister wouldn't run if someone chased her! |

| Master 1791 Raleigh, North Carolina | Subject: RE: I Googled Myself LOL! I'm luckily buried underneath the former all Pro Redskins football center - Jeff Bostic. And alas his company in Greensboro, NC (about 20 miles from where I live) is going through some bankruptcy issues...which explains the occasional calls from the Washington Post and various creditors......so its not until page 4 that I start to appear. |

So I'm a poet who gets off on plants: Sonnet No seduction in the hothouse, its aisles But when the orange orchard blossoms, Raptures in the garden? Never once did rows But when orange blossoms wave Also penned the quote, "Never ruin an apology with an excuse." I teach at BYU. I have a severe communication disorder. I'm an MD. I'm a retired schoolteacher. I was on Survivor. I play basketball for a small obscure college. I'm also a soap star. I write Christian music. I'm getting married to some dude with a weird last name (in an obvious attempt to make googling myself easier). I can't find a single thing about myself! |
