I have a pretty unique last name, but when I googled myself I only got sports scores from like colleges with people with my last name. Interesting to note though I found a guy who has my last name who ironically enough is CEO of Hilton hotels.

Make your own Paris joke LOL

I googled my name and got ... me. Alumni pages from my high school and college, my facebook, my livejournal (both private), me on a family tree, and the other that was non-me related was someone from the 1800's who had the same name as me who died.

How can your Facebook come up if it's private?

^ It is frightening how many 9-year-olds have MySpaces!  One of my kids asked if she could get on MySpace at school once, so out of curiosity, I looked up some of my kids on there, and I was SHOCKED at how many of them I found.  Almost all of them had private profiles at least, but a lot of them used their first and last name as their username!!  Dumb!!!  Where are the parents??

Oh yeah... I remember when you did that. You and I were IMing at the time, I think.

That was pretty bad how many you found... and how easily you found them!

How can your Facebook come up if it's private?

When you click the link it just has what shows when you search for people. Just my name, and like 'message me, add to friends, etc' but they can't access my profile.

Lurlene McDaniel is my hero LOL.  I love her books.  "A Time to Let Go" isn't my favorite, but it doesn't suck.  It's actually a sequel to a book about a girl whose sister gets into a bad car accident and is in a coma for awhile before they decide to turn off life support... so the sequel is about the girl going on with her life and dealing with her sister's death.  The specifics are a lot different, but you can see how it could be considered similar.
