Um. Um. UM.

So, I'm a total dork who occasionally types in her own user name into Google because, well, duh. While I love you, I want to make sure that I haven't wound up on some someone's shit list over an off-handed comment and then me not know about it so that I could fix it.

So I typed in [livejournal.com profile] snowdarkred .

And there were options.

snowdarkred livejournal


and

snowdarkred fanfiction

I admit I fail at technology forever, so I'm asking you all: Does this mean anything? Is it a sign?

/o\ I am unsure how I feel about this turn of events. Or even what they mean. :S No, serious. What does this mean?

ETA: ALSO, I APPARENTLY GOT RECCED HERE AND NO ONE TOLD ME. /o\

It is a very strange experience, googling yourself (either your real name or your fan pseudonym)...it's so strange what does and does not show up. Especially with fannish stuff, you may think your in this little fandom bubble, but it's amazing what search engines can dig up.

Evidently there's another jenna marianne from Finland that likes doing online Karaoke; who knew there was such a thing!?!

Googling my real name is pretty useless; all that comes up is someone else's poetry and a bunch of Arthurian legends. And cars. Googling my username is pretty surreal, though, because stuff actually pops up with it, and it's strange to look at something and think, 'Huh, this is what people see when they get curious about me.' And then I freak out about the idea that people are, in any way, curious about me. Because I have no idea why I would be interesting enough to warrant getting a drop down menu/whatever for my username on freakin' Google. :/

For a while, I thought that maybe it was just my computer, since I've googled myself before in order to find some of my accounts on various websites - I always use the same username wherever, so if it says snowdarkred it's probably me. I thought maybe it was just popping up because I've searched it before. But I hung out with a friend of mine tonight (food! shopping! geekery!) and I snagged her computer to show her a Glee video, and while I was on, I tried googling myself again...and the same thing popped up. So it's actually a thing. And I think I'm so flail-y about it because, most of the time, I forget that there are more than five people reading this journal. I mean, I'm very, very far from being, God forbid, a BNF, but I do have people who have friended me for whatever reason (you included ;D) who read this and it's just...strange? I mean, I'm not that interesting. I ramble. I bitch. I occasionally post fic that is halfway approaching decent. /o\ *is the most useless person ever*

LOL. You should send the other jenna a message; tell her to step off your name. ;) Is it good karaoke, at least?

...Sorry for the rambly reply. :)

Yeah, I'm still not super into journaling for this very reason; usually I don't have much to say/write, and when I do, it's weird to think anyone would be interested. What a trip! (mostly I'm on LJ for the fanfic: fic comms, rec comms, search comms)

LOL, no idea if it's good karaoke, I just found the site and o_O
I guess I should watch some of her songs. ;)

Eh, I thought the name combo was relatively unique, but I guess there's a couple other people in the world that thought the same thing. :D

I'm too much of a flaily person to resist having a platform for my flail, so. Discovering livejournal was my best day in fandom ever. :D

Well, it's really pretty, so that would make sense. :D

I usually think that there would hardly be anything if I tried searching my fandom name, now I'm curious...

But also scared to type it in.

Hm, I know that feeling.... But sadly, I'm the kind of person who, if I see a button that says 'Don't Press Me'...I have to press it. I just do. So not entering stuff into search engines isn't really an option for me. :3

I searched. I searched without the hyphen first, and came up with one offering and a nice one at that. A birthday post I had never seen! XD

Normal spelling did not yield anything interesting. Either bad or good. So. I'm okay for now. :/

It just depends on how well known you want to be, I guess. I go back and forth, but it still kind of freaks me out? IDK.

ALSO. COME LEAVE A PROMPT. I'LL WRITE YOU SOMETHING. :D

Hee! *is totally amused by you right now* Although that might be the sleep deprivation talking. God damn it...you know I have to spend 16 or better hours in the car with my parents and siblings and do I sleep? Oh hell no I don't. I go to bed at midnight and am wide fucking awake at 5am.

*sighs* And I can't really work on packing up the last of my stuff because I don't want to wake up my gramma (yeah I need to tell you about that) and I can't do much of anything else. And I can't fucking sleep...so I'm playing on the internet. *sighs*

But it's cool that you can google yourself :-) and that you got recced :-)

We never did get to catch up, but hopefully once I get home from the great Southern state of Georgia (and why exactly am I hearing Geoooor-gia in my head? damn brain) hopefully we can chat.

I shall have no internet for at least the first two days I am down there. If it goes much longer than three...I'll probably need bail money...just sayin'.

Okay I'll stop rambling now...a friend sent me an H50 interview with Scott and Alex...and I think I hooked my headphones up right...so I'mma watch that and then answer some backlogged emails. And do a post if I still have time before breakfast.

Have a good holiday bebe if I don't talk to you before then :-) *hugs!*
