So I knew that sometimes people have my first name as a last name, but it was still a little weird to see this on the New York Times website:

Yet flattering. I guess.

Between this and my discovery that there’s some German chick on Google who has the same first and last names as me (except hers has an umlaut), I am feeling rather unstable in my identity. I used to be able to pretend I was the only one. One time my sister had a friend named Mara, and I flipped out every time she talked about her. I can’t even begin to imagine how Edward Smiths must feel.

Remind me to write about life and whatever sometime when I am not crazy. Now is not that time.

I haven’t come across any “Marvin Valdez” on google….but if I did, it wouldn’t surprise me.

(random noter) You know whats even scarier than that. I looked up my name, found the story of someone that fits my life story TO THE LETTER! *gets shivers up his spine*

Someone said the other day, “My friend knows you! She recognized your name” and I said, “But…I don’t know her” and it was discovered that it was *another* woman with my name. Which always jars me. You ARE a giant among men. All the guys say you’re tops.

Your name is pretty.

Googled my name just now. The entire contents of the first page: “Home Page of ____ On this homepage, you will be able to find information about Adam Linville. I have posted a few projects done over my years spent at Western Michigan University. You will also be able to find my resume, along with a list of activities that I have been involved in.

I have the EXACT same name as the slain Tejano pop star. That’s not weird.

Why do I keep forgetting that you’re you? I really LIKE you!
