If I put in Allie with my last name, I get my school's website and the Chicago Flute Club website, on which I am a board member. I also get an obituary for someone who shared my first and last names that died at 88 in January, 2003. As far I am aware, this is not a relative.

If I put in Allison (it's what Allie is short for, after all) with my last name...well, apparently I have my own house in North Carolina that's the oldest standing frame house west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. If I showed up with my driver license, do you think they'd give me a free tour and take my picture??


So what do you get when you google yourself?

With my married name, someone who is very big in horse breeding.

With my maiden name, someone who is a Christian songwriter/performer.

Neither reflect my tastes.

Hm. I found my photography site on the second page, and my contribution to the One Million Masterpiece. Oh, also I am a 32 year old woman from Philadelphia, PA who likes to run marathons.

Well, the webpage for the company I work for comes up, and so does the alumni newsletter from my college with the listing from when Ian and I got married.

With my maiden name, a few pages come up from theatrical productions I was in/worked on in college.

There's no place like home
I have an odd last name and actually had only 16 hits. 5 of them were actually me. 2 were about things my husband submitted to environmental organizations he belongs to and signed both of our names. 1 was about testimony I submitted to the state Minnesota related to my job. The last 2 were drink recipes I submitted to webtender.com.

Pretty weird.

What I posted earlier is from a past google. A new one reveals -

I taught a Certified Swedish Massage Course (I wish I could get a massage right now)
I'm a counselor in Queensland and a lawyer in St. Louis
An artist who visited China (and whose husband thinks is very beautiful)
I live in Detroit and the Netherlands
I am to prepare a letter to the school board regarding our concern as a board regarding the administration of the school. ... (First I knew of this!)
I was honored. after my retirement as a volunteer who spent many years at. LBPH as proofreader and reader for Radio Reading Service. (This one was in Hawaii, lucky duck!)
I wrote a book! "A Cabinet of Medical Curiosities"
Also a pastor in North Carolina and Missouri! (that'd make my grandpa proud...)
I'm a chemist (one of my worst subjects)
I'm also a yoga instructor (I wish. Right now I have all the flexiblilty of a steel rod)

It took about 7 pages before the real me popped up. The second entry that was really me was a CatSite post!
