Freaky Close and Embarrassing

I've been meaning to blog on this since I read Lynda's confession. I read awhile back ways to make sure you are getting your blog out there correctly, etc...and one way was to "google" yourself.

It sounds so self centered and egotistical.

But I did it.

I was surprised in the same ways Lynda was. For one, God Bless her, there is another Julie Arduini running around out there. Literally. Apparently she is a track star. She is even on Facebook but I don't want to scare her by writing her out of the blue with her name. She is Julia but my real name is Juliann, so it's close. Freaky close.

My maiden name also has a cousin with the same name and apparently she used to get calls for me. So that's where my high school dating life was...wrapped up in the wrong identity! Okay, maybe not.

Th second surprise was that some of my free reprint work over at FaithWriters is properly credited to me. One such case was with this blog. He used one of my most embarrassing moments turned God story and it truly is a neat God story He gave me, but also one of my most crawl under the table and die moments too.

I'd give a direct link but the Christian Writers Forum link edits my bio, and my free reprint bio is more comprehensive. Other than that, he added a cool picture of McDonald's but my words are as is.

So if you haven't been embarrassed lately, you have two options: read my story or google yourself and see how many others have your name!

REMEMBER: There is a book give away going on until July 12. Read this post for details.
