peachy perspective

When was the last time you went to Google and searched your name?

I did it this morning, and here are the top searches for my first and last name:

• I think I was born in 1838 and died on June 8, 1888 in Virginia.
• Lizzie White Council and George H. Rucker are my parents. I married Norris Loring Bowen and had 3 kids in the early 1900s.
• I was on the Spring ‘05 MTSU Dean’s List.
• I commented on an article my friend MA wrote for MTSU’s newspaper, Sidelines
• An article I wrote for Sidelines about the Bell Buckle Cafe
• The Fall 1999 high school soccer roster. It was our very first year to have a team. That was almost 10 years ago – WOW!
• I am the cousin of Irene and used to live in the Fort Worth’s Lockheart Bed and Breakfast with a huge family.
• I was born 10.18.1838 in Bedford County. When I was 17 years old, I married Daniel and we lived on a farm with a big family, and he was drafted into the military. This is an interesting line: “It is uncertain if Marianna is buried in Amherst, or if her remains were removed to Buena Vista.” Hmmm… shady.

Wow, I’ve had a long and interesting life, don’t you think?

Now be honest… how many times have you googled someone else’s name to get the scoop on who they really are? I admit that I’ve done it, and I know you have to. What comes up when you search your name?
