Who doesn't love Google!

I just googled myself with usual work/grown up/legal name and found a place that had an email I didn't want out there. So I fixed it. and it immediately fell off google. Henh.

Weirdly, I can find a couple of ex's easily because of good unique names. Other people, with their uber common names, are much trickier to locate.

Which is somewhat sadmaking.

Then there are the people I knew, I really liked at the time, that I used to live with, drink with, hang out with, nurse hangovers with and now I can't even remember their full names.

Some of the people I'd most like to track down have very common, if not associated with famous people, names. So even with advanced search, hard to find.

And ditto on the WTF WAS their name.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Damn you. You made me google my ex.

Most of my college friends were performers, so googling usually yields a bunch of stuff, and there's always imdb.

And lo! Dinner plans are made. Excellent.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

So glad it's not just me.

I have a puppycat flopped on my legs. She is sound, sound asleep judging from the weight of her. I suspect, given her tendancy to startle and claws, that I am not going to risk getting up until she wakes up on her own. I don't own enough band-aids to do otherwise.

Cass, bolt quickly!

But then, mine aren't startle-claws. They are pillow HOGS.

He looks freakishly like he did 15 years ago. A lot of them do. Colin doesn't -- he aged dramatically about 8 years ago. But when he was last here we looked up some of his old friends, and it's like they've been photoshopped into their lives, with children and stuff.

Mine have their own pillow to fight over so they tend to leave mine alone. Kittenish has it now. Which leaves me with StartleClaws!Puppycat (excellent description, btw) snoozing happily on my legs. It would be adorably cute if I didn't want to get some juice and fizzy water.
