"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I used to not exist at all online, under my actual name. But then I showed up in photos when I performed at a festival. Then everything after that was work related and still is.

Although I tried to find those old festival photos, and they didn't pop up, so I searched my name and Wichita, and got really scared because it showed a picture of my apartment. Well, close to my apartment. But it turned out to be some innocent Oregon grandmother's blog.

She'll wonder where all the hits are coming from, but they're some great pictures of my stomping grounds, including the brewery where all my big corporate money went.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The name doppelganger I know the most about has won or placed in several middle and high school swim meets.

But mostly my vanity searches turn up a lot of German porn.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I am never going to get this book proposal done by the end of the weekend. My stomach has decided to react to this terror by trying to flee from my body.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Last I remember, my name doppleganger worked at a funeral home.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I have so many name dopplegangers, using Susan or Suzi. The worst was years ago when my dentist had another patient with the same name as me - but she only had like 3 teeth in her head. The second time they came in to see me with her file, I found a new dentist.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

My name is so common, I am not sure I can call the phenomena dopplegangers. I think people with my first and last name could populate Delaware.

I do not believe anyone with my first, middle, and last name exists besides me though.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Go Liese! Get stuff done! (I said I would encourage, right?)

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The internet would seem to indicate that I'm the only person with my particular combination of names, though the first and middle are common enough and the family name isn't all that rare.
