didn't know I had a blog or that I was pregnant - in fact, I hadn't talked to her since my wedding over a year ago. She mentioned that she wanted to know what I was up to, so she "Googled" me. Interesting word "Googled." It can have so many meanings - actually, no, it only has one meaning, but I think it's funny that it's been incorporated into American Terminology. It's like free marketing for the worlds biggest search engine...like they need more exposure.I always figured that if I could be "Googled" I'd have to be Angelina Jolie or Katie Holmes or at least have regular appearances on OMG or TMZ or something. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would show up on a Google search.
During my single years I Googled my maiden name and never really found anything. I was happy about that. Confident in my remaining semi anonymous in the world. Even when I started this blog, I didn't want to use my name because - Who wants their personal info to be plastered all over the web? OK - maybe some of us do, BUT I DIDN'T!!!
You could imagine my gut reaction when I read my friend's comment. No - I didn't just sit there saying - "Cool, I must be super popular since my friends can find me just by typing my name into a search engine." - NO! C'mon folks! There are crazies out there! You don't want them tracking you down and stalking you when you go to the mall or the post office or to the bathroom! I immediately Googled myself...using my married name this time. I didn't just find nice little me listed on a post of someone's blog (OK I found one link that had me on a post of someone's blog) -NO! It looks like....well...um..........................................................
I'M A PORN STAR!
YIKES!
OK - so I'm not a porn star, but some chick with my name is and It's really FREAKING ME OUT!!! ME! Who has always been so wholesome and naive. Yes, believe it or not, I'm SUPER naive. Even after I've been married for over a year Robbie has to still explain things regarding the "Birds and the Bees" to me. Things I never picked up while being reared and raised in the Utah Bubble.
That's it...Google is dead to me now...I think I'm going to go eat myself out of a depression...

I just "googled" you to see for myself! Emily, you naughty girl. I always knew you had a secret life. So good to see you the other day!
You naive? I don't think so! This is coming from a women (you) that named your boobs! You are anything but naive!
love ya Em
Naomi
Ha ha ha! Naomi your right, but naming my girls is one thing...the birds and the bees are a totally different thing!
Maybe I'm paranoid, but I Google myself every few months and try to make sure I'm not accessible. It wierds me out. But I'm not even cool enough to be a Porn Star. But look on the bright side, at least you can blame anything bad anyone finds out about you on her. Hee hee!
Oh, that is so funny! I google myself occasionally, but I've never found anything too exciting. I guess it's good to have a unique name. Obviously, you have at least learned how to make a baby :)
Evaly - Yes I do know how to make a baby...so maybe I'm not as naive as I thought - but it's seriously hilarious how much I still don't know.
and Patti - You're right, I am super cool and if I get into any trouble I'll definitely blame it on my "pornstar alter ego".
Rach - it was good to see you too!
Well - how does it feel to be famous? Don't you just love the modern world of technology. Even you can be someone that your not. :) LOVE YOU
Cari
Cari...I don't know if I want to be this kind of famous...you should've seen my mom's reaction when I told her - I thought the world was going to end! Ha Ha...she's always good for a laugh. I love you too!
