Have regard for your name, since it will remain for you longer than a great store of gold.

I have a unique name.  I also am not internet or real life famous.  So, finding information on Google on people with my name is pretty cool.

Cases in point:
- The white pages knows my name, my address, my parent's names, my sister's name, my age, and that I am the only person in the United States currently alive with that name.  Awesome and scary at the same time!  I suppose it doesn't help that I broadcast my name on my blog, but whatever.  Facebook has eradicated the possibility of anonymity on the internet long before I gave myself away.
Lula Mae Hixon Cross' grave.
- I found myself on a website I've never heard of that basically gives a biography of someone including their online aliases.  They capture things from your profiles (in my case, it's info from my old Myspace profile) and partial addresses you've lived at.  Man, the internet is getting to be a bit much.  I'm actually pretty appalled at how much information they're giving out.  Thankfully, this profile has only has 4 views.  I feel bad for people who would draw more interest.  At least it's an old address.
- Also strange, pictures of other people whose G+ posts I have commented on come up under my name.  As do our names together with pictures of maps?  This is really bizarre.
Lorena Mae Hixon's biography.  Lorena and I have the SAME BIRTHDAY.  Seriously?  Same name and same birthday?!  Except, she was born in 1918.

I tried this with Tyler, but he has virtually no internet presence.  Other people with his name, however, definitely do.  As there's even a domain with his full name.  I have no idea what the website is supposed to be promoting.  I did find an old modeling picture of Tyler, though.  That was cute.

Weird shit.  Try Googling yourself.  Tell me what you find!


Also, my neighbors are very drunk and very loud right now, as are their friends.  Annoying.
