Scandalous!
Did you ever randomly lose half an hour of your life at work and then realize - oh crap - I really have to get back to work?
Well usually that happens to me when I decide to randomly google people. And what with the world of online journals you can once in a while really end up finding someone and their whole damn life on the internet!
I have a wedding to go to tomorrow. For a friend that I've known for about 11 years. Approximately 40% of my life. I haven't seen him in a while and we're no where near as close as we were in say, my senior year of high school. But hey, I'm honored that I was invited and am looking forward to going. There's a slight weirdness factor of my ex-boyfriend being the best man in the wedding, but hey - we're grown ups and it's not about us - right? It's about the bride and groom. I mean, I'm inviting a few broken up couples to our wedding (I think) and I'm sure they'll get along fine.
Anyway - I started to think of people the groom and I were friends with when we were closer in high school and I started googling them. Guess what - I found one of their online journals. There's even an entry where the writer states that he/she (protecting the innocent) thought I was nice until I turned into a "total psycho bitch." (I'm paraphrasing here) Who knew? I thought we were buddies back in the day. Okay - so there was some drama back in high school but jeez! It's really a funny thing - why don't you try and google people from your past and see what turns up? It'll spice up your work day!

I google myself to make sure no one hates me. I think I'm paranoid. But now I will google people from high school!
p.s. I don't think you're a psycho bitch.

I've googled every single person I've ever known. I've found a few journals. They are all just as boring as they were when I knew them.

I also have googled everyone...co workers,neighboors, cousins sisters friends co workers...I don't know what is wrong with me.I never find anything.I can't belive you found one that talks about you.I am fairly self involved so it would be a combo of sick stomach ache about the whole psyco part and feelings of hitting the jackpot that I was referenced:)
