Another Google Reunion
I've dropped plenty of hooks into cyberspace with 'Where Are You?' retroposts, like this one. It's usually only a matter of time before people Google themselves, and find my posts. Today I opened my mail to find this in the subject line: "OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". The email began: "OOOOMMMMMMMMMMG! What a blast from the past!... Where in the world did we take that picture? Boy…this made my day fun!" Colleen is a supermodel I used to cat around with in the, uh, early nineties. I did hair for her uber-wedding (yes, I was an Oak Street hairstylist (shut up) before becoming a University of Chicago student, and master criminal), for her and her bridesmaids. She married a famous White Sox player. Now, thanks to Google power, we're reunited. (Remember when I turned your hair to fruitstripes Colleen? Then Gabriel fixed it?) Can't wait to see you baby girl. This is a current pic of Colleen... she's still a KnockOut (can you say Heather Locklear, but w/ a brain!) Behold ubercool Googlepower.

No way! You were a hairstylist!?! Haha! Fag! ;-)
P.S. what'd you study at the Uni of Chi?
HUGE FAG.... Linguistics. (and mendelian genetics, and astrophysics, and phenomenology of metaphor, and all maimonides guide to the perplexed, and Greek, and all sorts of UBER-NERDY stuff)... but i mainly drank and screwed.
Damn! How'd you grade on the "drank and screwed" classes? I bet you almost double-majored there! eh??
i placed in the Junior Olympics... in both catagories. ;)
Aethlos,
Rest assured, there is nothing wrong with googling one's self as often as possible.
see that people? that's why we love lil. true, ariel wasn't always part of it, but the dedication in story of philosophy melts my chrome plated heart.
That's such a clever idea. Mentioning someone from the past and having them Google themselves and find the post.
Thank you Frankie for pointing out my creepy BURGER KING smile... NO BOTTOM TEETH... it's because I had my tongue barely sticking out... i have no idea why, but now it's really starting to bug me.
As the most recent addition to my links, you've been tagged. Just thought you might want to know ...
I am having a difficult time digesting your previous occupational dabbling in hairdo's. I don't usually mention names in my blog so it wouldn't work with the googling.
yes, it's hard even for me to believe... but i've admitted it... it's out there. "Hello, my name is Spencer..." "hello spencer."... "I... i... i was a hairstylist" -gasp- Wow, that was just so many lifetimes ago... hard to explain how long ago that feels... how to even measure... 4 U.S. cities ago... 30+ countries ago... 7 husbands ago... a million dollars ago... two jail terms ago... 2,000 books ago... 3 pounds of cocaine ago... a bale of weed ago... 3 universities ago... 6 jobs ago... how to measure a life? was i really a hairstylist??? or was that a dream?
What if a person did not want their name and photo on the internet? How would you know?
Sorry Aethlos- weekends are not my best blog times. I get caught up in running around. I will chat with you about objectists and Rand next week.. (wink)
i've only laid out a trail for people who have had high profile lives, and who i believe with a reasonably degree of certainty will be thrilled to find me. i've abstained from posting quite a few who might be perturbed (married , 'not gay' anymore, closeted, previously 'stalked', etc...) but most of my friends are media whores (like me), or used to being around same--who've spent their lives in the public eye--magazines, politics, film, on stages, and end up thrilled to find themselves here. The latest reunion is someone I would not have posted, but she found my face on Perez, and i'm actually waiting for her to okay even the release of her name... as she's married now, and we were too young for me to know her temperament regarding publicity. And, natch, if anyone asked to be removed from my site... they'd vanish. :)
