I have been aware of my googleganger for many years. She is some kind of folk or gospel musician in Texas and I think she also makes jewelry. While I love her like a ghost sister, I also hate her guts for sitting on "MY" domain name for years... I should really email her and say hi. She probably knows me just like I know her. 8-) Oh, I love this concept! I have been aware of my googleganger for many years.

Ok I'm half Korean myself and I had like NO idea from the few pics I've seen of you that you are part Asian? Yes, I know not everyone is racially the same as their surnames, but that is usually less so with men. My googleganger is an elementary school teacher in Germany (with my married name) If you do with my maiden name, it goes on endlessly - doctors, teachers, porn star even... And no, that's not me working under my maiden name heh. Your name is David Sasaki? Ok I’m half Korean myself and I had like NO idea from the few pics I’ve seen of you that you are part Asian?

An assistant professor, electronic media at a Tennessee university, a researcher at the Urban Institute, and, coincidentally -- someone with the exact same job as me: http://msjenniferwoodard.blogspot.com/. And yeah, I feel like I could have been any of those other professions as well. Mine are less exotic, but I have three.

First, there is a mormon artist from Texas. Then, there is an actress from the Philippines who survived breast cancer. That's it for now I guess :) I agree with Oso, Kelly’s infamous baby shaker takes the cake…JaJa

It's sorta weird to think about actually: how are own characters influence or don't influence who we've become. It seems completely plausible to me that I could have turned out to be a public health veterinarian if I took a turn here instead of there a couple times.
