google yourself

**Jadian** · February 6th, 2004, 10:34 PM

I'm sure we've all googled our real names, but have you ever googled your stp name?

Apparently I am a parapeligic ex-athlete in the states who is in the midst of a lawsuit. I'm also an imaging PR company, and I'm the frequent topic of various malaysian sites. Aside from my livejournal and my posts here, that is.

Random stp posts do come up when you do this.

What have you found?

When I google my name, I find way too many things that are all really mine. I need to start being on the internet less.

The first two things that came up were two reviews I did of SiP. Go figure...

I tried my STP name first, but the only stuff coming up was things like "Boy CRAZY: A Guide for Girls" or some such.

Typing in my real name however...sports such as baseball, basketball and JV wrestling...musical things including a Christian rapper...and then I found a letter to Santa from a 6-year-old who liked presents very much and loved Santa and wanted shoes and a RC motorcycle...and I also found a 2002 obituary for a 13-year-old in California.

It's amusing, yes, but kinda makes you think about other people who share your name.

Like Crazy, My StP name is too common to come up with anything.

My real name came up with just the three "live event" wrestling articles I wrote for 1Wrestling.com

**JaceSan** · February 7th, 2004, 04:42 PM

Yeah. That's why I like JaceSan. I got old Hostboard posts that I haven't even thought about for a while and one of the few reviews I did on SiP.

**Branflakes** · February 8th, 2004, 04:53 AM

My stp names comes up with numerous Hostboard references, my website, and several other people who use the moniker, Branflakes. Plus, of course, references to the cereal bran flakes and how healthy it is for you. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

When I put in my real name, the top listing is me at the Houston Women's Flag Football League, where I'm a team rep for my team. There's also references to a post supporting "Internet Download Manager", which I could have posted years ago, when I had a modem, but some posts are dated recently and I know I didn't do those.

Interestingly, there are also numerous posts of school athletes, honor rolls, births that have one of my names (first or last), but no one else with my actual full name.

**dwim** · February 8th, 2004, 04:57 AM

heh...

Dwim is an acronym for "Do What I Mean" or "Damn Warren's Infernal Machine" and there's some I've put up on litkicks.com I forgot completely about those. And there's a dwim.org it takes you to a BioCede page of some sort...

Also, it even have a dictionay meaning: 1. adj. Able to guess, sometimes
even correctly, what result was intended when provided with bogus input. ...

At this page, www.poppyfields.net/filks/00024.html there's some sort of a parody song. Then thee's some sort of cybernetic DWIM car on the way according to some of the pages...

All this before any mention of STP comes up...

So as I get off this thread, I leave you with a link that leads to a cartoon strip that is the proof of my fame. http://www.userfriendly.org/cartoons.../20011121.html Heh, it's even released on my birthday too... (shudders)
