Googling

[affreca]

One should never google oneself. It is way to silly. When I good for my real name, all that appears is sites about boats. Then there is a picture of me pointing at ice in a permafrost tunnel.

Today I searched for affreca. I am lucky to have a unique internet handle that I have stuck with for just about every log in I have ever had. Except for the ones where I have forgotten my password, or they don't want it to be the same as your email (on okcupid.com I am KRose). The first site that pops up is this one. Nifty, eh? Then there is a lot about the woman I stole the name from, a famous Manx noblewoman, and her granddaughter. And then there is an article on Svathy's website that I supposedly wrote about medieval costumes. I don't remember it at all. It sort of looks like my style. Intermixed with more about the real Affreca are links to this article. On theater costuming link lists. It makes me appreciate the power of random sources. My paper, written in high school, with minor research, is used as an explanation for all sorts of costuming questions. Not my research on Venus, but the early research on bliauts shall be my legacy.

Only 3 listings come up when I google my name and 2 are actually for me. One of them freaked me out. I thought the tech college just had me listed on the internet for fun, but then realized it was work related from a job posting.
