I do not know if you have ever done this, but one day I was just surfing the web and I decided to see what our ambiguous Big Brother had on me on the internet. (I am not one of those tinfoil-wearing, disguise-my-identity, hide-in-the-woods, over-the-top people who tries to avoid the government, but I was sincerely curious as to what kind of information was on the web about me.)
Well, I went to Google and typed in "Andrea Geist" (thinking the search would yield the infamous "Did you mean..."). Wouldn't you know it, there is another Andrea Geist out there!!! A love for the written word must come with the name, but she is apparently a romance writer and has her own website, http://www.andreageist.com . ("Sparkle This" is her blog title.) Not only that, but apparently there is another Andrea Geist who is a member of the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association and is in charge of the software for the machines. Unbelievable!
At the news of this, I actually went through a myriad of emotions simultaneously. My complete and utter shock at there being another me quickly dissipated into ever-so-slight anger and a pinch of annoyance, but then turned into a bit of disappointment: "NO WAY! I'M NOT ORIGINAL!"
What I want you to do first is tell me how you would feel if you weren't "an only." (Am I over-reacting? I know I tend to do that.) Then I want you to Google your name and see if you have any doubles...

I can see how you can think that you're name might be "original". But there is dffinatly bound to be somone else out there in this huge world to have the same name as you. I unfortunatly have3 of the most common names out there. But I alse do know that there is nobody else out there on the web that has the same personaity or origanality like me. So, therefore, i am okay with the fact that i am not the only one out there with my name.
Being unoriginal with the same name really does not bother me.It would bother me if we looked alike, or acted alike.that would be a very scary thought.There actully is another Caitlin Bernard.She worked for a buisness called the Los Angeles confidential magazine.Now she works in New York at a photocopying service.The photocopying service is in an apartment on floor 8 in New York city. she also has her own website called mimeo.com.Now i know that there is really another Caitlin Bernard.

Giest you seem to be a bit over the edge about it... I think it would be interesting to find another person with my name.. I would probally love to meet the. Just to see if we share interests or something of the sort.
GEIST! Are you serious? You, over-react? Never...except maybe now. You make it sound as if just because somebody has the same name as you she is going to have the EXACT same personality as you.
Obviously you are original and so is she...In your own ways but i guess i just have a thing for origanallity because I happen to be the only me out there! (that i could find) Except me!
hmm... well i did google my name and there is another me out there. they are an author and another is a famous basketball player (funny huh?) but hey it is weird to know there are other people with your name out there but what can you do? there are only so many names to go around right? but i do see where you're coming from... but you are original... maybe your name isn't but your personality, beliefs, and who you are is.
Appartantly I(Brittany Reid) am a sixteen year old(whose birthday is August 8, 1986) record-setting shot put thrower who resides in Midfield and in the Pacific Northwest, as well as in Bellevue. I have an older brother Dusty and and younger sister Breana. My parents are Toby and Melissa. In 2009 I will be graduating as a sixteen-year old. In my free time, I enjoy the benifits of being in a world-reknown corps de ballet. (who knew, right?) As a junior in the Weddington high school, I am a star player on the lacrosse team. I also play african flute and have previously won Elk awards. My fellow coworkers are Kara Zimmerman and James Moore, just to name a few, although I cannot tell you where i work. I very much enjoy posting dirty pictures of myself where I am barely clothed on the internet for the whole world to see and to you it might seem as if i enjoy laying naked with girls.
Please do not judge me(Brittany Reid) based on what you find on the internet. Not everything you see is what it seems to be.
note to readers: none of this is true about the actual Brittany Reid who lives in Gowanda, New York.
