So, my roommates found their way here. Someone had mentioned it once, and then one of them left a comment here, and I was all, “How’d they know?”
I didn’t remember bringing it up. That’s ordinarily an awkward conversation. “Yeah, so I have this website and *mumble*mumble*….” I wondered if maybe I had sent an email from the wrong address. That happens from time to time because all my accounts are pulled in together in my mail program.
It finally came out that they Googled me. My last name was posted once on a blog a long time ago and the Google cache of a Blogrunner cache has enshrined it. There was some difference of opinion on whether or not I should know about that, but now I know and it’s totally okay. If I were looking for a new roommate, I’d Google everyone I met, too. If we lived in Wisconsin, I’d be checking their public court records.
Also, apparently, one of their friends has heard of me or something (and did not vote for me in the Bloggies). Now that is trippy.
