Don't do it! You'll go blind!

We've all been there. 

 

It's late. Or early. Maybe mid-afternoon. The Sun or moon or clouds hover in the sky, casting the foreground in start and/or dim light. Facebook is silent. Twitter is not a-Twutter. 

 

Not even an email deigns to bounce of the back wall of the empty warehouse of old dreams you call an inbox.

 

So, you look around. Nobody is home. The blinds might be drawn, it isn't important. In a way, you want them to look.

 

You bite your lip, and open up a private session of firefox or chrome.

 

And you fingers tremble as you type it in...

 

Google...

 

And then...

For years, maybe even a decade now, we the curious have been shunned. "Degenerates!" they'd scream, directing a school bus full of kids past your car window just to show them the depths that humanity can fall to. But I say be ashamed no more, brothers and sisters.

 

We are the curious. And we have Googled ourselves!

 

 

 

So show me yours, and I'll show you mine. What happens when you Google your name, or your DM handle, or anything else related to you?

 

 

Unsurprisingly, a search for ineedfourberfs will show up my profile page here on DM.

 

4burner, which is a catch all handle for my writing blog and twitter, shows up #1 on Google which is handy, leads straight to my twitter. 

 

The blog is nowhere to be seen :dry:

 

 

And there is a person using my name to craft exotic 'deco-gothic' animal and African inspired jewelry.

 

wat.

There is an actress, a singer, a song and a movie named Panchi among others.

 

Searching my RL name leads to links explaining meaning of Pankhuri and sites for Indian baby names.

Apparently Hallia is a greek name, and then there was a ton of stuff in foreign languages.  And on the second page I found a DM post :laugh:

Google directs TinaHel to Tinahely, which apparently is a village in Ireland. If you force it to search for TinaHel then the first post is a link to my profile here at DM.

And I'm pretty certain I own these exact pair of jeans found under the image search. Incidently, TinaHel also owns every image ever posted to dragonmount.

Mixed in with some rally driving and skateboarding, both things I can get behind. 

 

That it people, round it up, we're all moving to Venezuela!
