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

Sara to me IRL, sarameg here, sometimes sara.

Fay, you live a life that cracks me up. I'm so glad to hear you're okay.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I haven't Googled myself in quite a while. Which sounds dirtier than it really is.

But if you Google "Frederick Lastname," you get mostly me. Professionally.

And if you Google "Fred Lastname," several hits are for a popular TV clown from Iowa, c. 1960. Most of the rest are me, nonprofessionally.

It's a weird mix.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Once I google my name and came across a registered sex offender. That was scary.

Funny, I see the difference between Sara and sara too.Not sure what it is, but it is there. I think, IRL, I feel more sara. But I sign, Sara. It sometimes startles me to be referred to as sara here. Not bad, I don't mind, it's just...different.

There's something amusing to me about the blase-ness of this coup. Reminds me of Jefferson and his every-20 years thing, except without the bloodshed.

OK WEIRD. You know the little girl who comes over to visit Mister Kitty? She and her dad came over with a seafood dish to offer me part. Now, I don't like lobster or crab really. So I said no. But I LIED and said I was allergic because I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings and because it just felt really weird. This is the girl whose dad kinda flirts with me (which freaks me the hell out even though I think it is just his personality) and I can tell it embarasses her. Which I want to avoid.

People. Why can't they be simpler?

If anyone's looking for a timewaster on the Internet, take a look at the Speech Accent Archive! I've been poking around the map, listening to scores of people say the same paragraph over and over and they all sound different (the guy in Windsor, Ontario says "red" really strangely)--it's really fun!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Probably. I can imagine Lucy saying, "if you don't stop pulling the saber tooth's tail, you're going to be sorry."

My only professional google hit went away when I quit work. I'm now fairly anonymous besides the Norse athlete and a few letters about Firefly to SciFi Weekly. Hey, I'm loony like Allyson!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

And then she'd smack them with the rock she was holding?

If she takes after mine, she does.

If I google my actual name I get lots 'o links about an author with my name. My Internet handle mostly gets a ballet performer.

Now I'm curious - are there any search engines that don't respect the <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="INDEX,NOFOLLOW"> line at b.org? (If that was so, there might be a shitload of b.org stuff on that search engine.)
