A DUPLICATE GEIST?!

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...

Her odd obsession with her own name frightens me.

As a sidenote, I really hope I'm not the only one still coming here. 0_o;;

L's Army said...

Hey, according to google I own a renowned quartet. Go me.

Kara said...

Umm so i did googled my name and there are a million karas in the world. However i am the only one with the last name of Fonti. It is significantly true that the last name can be very uncommon around here. So there really isn't another me.

Dietz said...

I believe that just because someone else has the same name as you doesn't mean that they are anything liek you... You are your own person your name has nothing to do with who you are...

GriffinDork said...

sooo i googled it. and katie griffin is a candaian actress, she sings and acts. but its ok because im still an original. because there isnt another me. someone could have the same name, mor even the same looks, but nobody is like me because im VERY unique! right?....right!

bees4everLOL said...

wow thats wierd there are like thousends of me!!!
scarry!!!

darkened angel said...

Okay well it's not that big of a deal really I mean almost nobody spells their name like mine... and then having the same last name... freaky...
First I looked up my maiden name: Natashia Blea
I didn't find one person who spelt their name exactly the same as mine... sad... but whatever...
Then I did my married name: Natashia Parker
I found only one person who shares this name and that was on a classmates.com directory... cool!

CLN123 said...

I googled my name and there is nobody on there who spells there name without a u. I met a girl on myspace whos name was Cortney Lynn too. I think it would be intresting if someone had the same name as me as long as they lived far away. My moms name is Sandra North and there is another Sandra North in gowanda. Weird!

Anonymous said...

There is another me, its weird i guess but not as bad as geist is making it out to seem... Their existence has no effect on our well being

alyssa*ashley said...

i googled my name and there is only one of me in this world lol but what popped up was an old photograph of me with my little cheerleading squad that was put in the newspaper like 10 years ago. but if there was more than one of me i would probably do a little research on them..lol sounds a little creepy but it wouln't be in a creepy way..but it would be so great if they looked like me and had the same interests then i would def. try to contact them and see wats up lol!

pookie said...

See,i just googled my name just for u Geist.And the only thing i came up with was the only other Zack Conley's in this world are dead.the few who are alive are of no importance to the world.except me.lol.but the only important on writes for the observer.thats all.no important romantic novel write for me.

Kull said...

They say that everyone has a look alike. And There are a lot of peope in the world so someone is bound to have your same name. But I think it woud be cool if there was another me.

paigeisgod said...

i wouldnt want them to be cooler than me, so id be a little upset about it, but yes you are overreacting. and no there isnt another me.

Alax said...

I believe that just because someone else has the same name as you doesn't mean that they are anything liek you... You are your own person your name has nothing to do with who you are...

dog lover said...

that is not good if there is another geist because then everybody would have the best teacher ever

MarSean23 said...

i agree wit alax name means nothing.. geist do they have the same middle name same life.. thats probably the only thing you hav thats the exact same.. your over reacting lol.. i wouldnt care if some1 had the same name as me cuz u dont wanna be me.......... u wanna be better than me lol

McFeely said...

I never really thought about another me being out in the world. I would be really surprised to find information about my other or other(s). After googling my name I found the usual mistake people make when their meeting me for the first time. John just has to be the most common first name in the book, so right off the bat were at a wrong start. I am a girl not a guy! even though it clearly states that on the paper that my FIRST name is KEELEY and my LAST name is JOHN they still switch the two around thinking it's some kind of mistake. but F.Y.I its not! anyway the only information I found was on this John L Keeley guy who bought businesses i think.. from what i understood. There is also this thing called the Keeley fund. thats great they think im a guy and im poor.

if i was the only shawn snyder in the world i would be shocked. in searching shawn snyder on google i found that there is another shawn snyder in the world. the shawn snyder that i fond on google is a music writer. so i wasn't to surprised that i wasn't the only shawn snyder in the world.

Andrea Geist said...

Well Hi! I have found several people with the same name - thank goodness for middle names. Trust me I am not a duplicate, we are certainly unique. Best regards, Andrea Geist
