I was going through the hit records of my site, and I’m finding that if you search for the surname of the ex-Romanian dictator, my site with pictures of my last trip to Europe dominate 3 out of the 5 pages of results. I rule. Well, I rule as far as searching for a misspelling of the guy’s name goes. I was always confused regarding the proper spelling. Although I just looked it up on Wikipedia, which gives his full name as ‘Ceauşescu’ One would think I could have looked [my own friggen picture](http://gabemartinez.com/pictures/euro0405/rom/nc/DSC06213.html) to find the correct spelling, but it seems I am far too creative for that. :dubious: ---

I have two friends who, when you type their names into google, are the first five or so responses. I’m really jealous ☹ ---

Somehow a site of mine which I only started last month has ended up being number one on Google for a couple of search strings. And I don’t mean typing the exact URL in, either - similar to **CynicalGabe** ’s site it’s some pictures of holidays. One of them is a two-word phrase for which there are 2 million results - and I’m number one! ::smug:: ---

If you Google my first and last name (no quotes), I’m six of the first seven hits. Apparently I am also the [deceased father of a minor superhero](http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix3/nightmaskremsen.htm). :dubious: ---

Google my name with quotes, and there’s 2010 results. All of them me 😃 And without quotes, I’m still the top 9 ---

Apparently I’m a character from _Twin Peaks_, but I’m still on the first page if I search for my name, and so’s my email address. If I search for my username, I’m on page 5, which isn’t bad at all considering it’s an actual word and everything.
