You can deny it. You can protest even if you want but I’m sure that it has happened at least once. You were alone and innocently thought that it would be fine to do at least once, but everyone knows that it has happened. You’ve Googled yourself.
I am not ashamed to say that I have done it. I was hanging out with friends and we Googled each other to see what we would find. Aside from my Facebook page, my High School Honor Roll, and now my LA 101H blogs, everything that comes up for either Gabby or Gabrielle Rosenblum are not the me Gabby or Gabrielle Rosenblum (and trying for Gabbo just tells me that I’ve spelled my name wrong).
I’ve decided that I will one day be Google-able. More than that, I want a Wikipedia page. I think that everyone wants their name to be known, not necessarily in a vain or conceited way, but they just want to leave a mark on the world. I don’t mean to sound depressing but I think that everyone wants to know that they will be remembered by someone once they are gone. And why not do it on the internet, open for the whole world to know about you?
But, for me, it isn’t even really that (though I definitely want those things). I just really want a Wikipedia page. I think that it would be hilarious to stumble across the life story of someone random.
Of course, I do want to have a good career and have success in life (but, for fear of jinxing it, I’m not going into details). Maybe I can have a real Wikipedia page one day, but, until then, I think that it’d be funny to just make one about my oh-so-interesting life until then. I won’t, of course (and nobody get any ideas!). But, come on, wouldn’t you laugh if you randomly came across the detailed life of some random college kid on Wikipedia?!
Gabby I just made a wiki page for you last night!! I just loved how interesting your life was after seeing you at Relay that I had to make the world aware!! But really if you are interested in law I feel like you definately have the potential of ending up on wikipedia =]
ReplyDeletehahaha Gabbo I have honestly never thought about having a wiki page but now thinking about it it does sounds appealing. Also, to make you happy, I googled myself and (being that I have one of the most common names in the world) got results that ranged from a renown dance studio to a murder case. Good luck on your wiki page!
ReplyDeleteI love it! It's an interesting take on something that a lot of people want. I like that you try to find new and creative ways to accomplish your goals and they aren't cliche. I hope you get your wikipedia page!
