There are people who come in and make their own random topics for their own absurd musings on a regular basis. I have decided that I would join this bandwagon of stupidity for the express purpose of musing in a semi-public fashion.
I say semi-public because not that many people care to read what an old man like me says.
Now, over the course of the years that I've been online, I've gotten bored. Have you ever gotten bored? Has it ever happened to you? Yes? All right. Well, anyway, during these times when I could do something of value like write an essay or study for an exam, I've decided to do many time-wasting activities. One of these time-wasters has been to Google my long-time screenname "Grimith" (or its extended version, which I shall not type here)
For those of you who have not yet realized it, Grimith is not a very original name. I developed it back in 2000 because I had a fascination with death and I figured it'd be really awesome if I plugged an -ith at the end of Grim. End result? Grimith. I never read the name anywhere else. No one explicitly gave the idea. I created it out of thin air so I wouldn't look like a dumb noob who was like hahalolImtheGrimReaper.
Anyway, over the years, I've discovered that there have been other unoriginal people like me across the globe. There are boys and girls both named Grimith, and they have profiles ranging from WarCraft III to MySpace. It's interesting to see who these "others" are, people whom I've never met but share my commonly used name. Some of the results I get are, naturally, of me or about me, but not all of them.
With the full, extended version of my name, I, of course, get no other returns except for those about me... which is cool, but, anyway, I digress.
For those of you souls who are bored, this gives you something new to try. Plug your SN into a big search engine, and see what comes out of the bag. It's something to do while waiting until the patch comes out in Two Weeks™.
...
Yeah, really, that's all I've got. No funnies. No philosophical revealings. No scathing references to Crim, Coeus, Lacrosseian, Sardaukar, Shigernafy, or $ythe (although any energy used to insult Coeus would be wasted because, as we all know, he'd be too drunk to care). I will say, though, that I discovered several DarkSpace-related fleet pages that have my name on them; people think my Engineering Guide is great, it seems. I'm not sure why.
- Edit: Glaring error or two that I felt was worth fixing.
- Editx2: This post broke my Lucky 7's. Crud.

83 pages. I have no idea if any of them are a reference to me.
Or anyone, really. Generic name is generic.

When I enter my real name, all I get is either myself or people related to me. Never met anyone with my surname who wasn't in my family.
If I enter my screen name, I either get loads of things about me, or my name's contained within a load of random text.

First figure is the default results.
second is the search with the omitted results included.
- Eledore > 3,730 / 3,770
Lots of links to the charecter "Eledore Massis" on witch my name is based on.
- Firetone > 4,180 / 4,930
Most of them lead to connections about a band calles Firetone.
(reason why i changed to the following name once i found out about that)
- FIR3T0N3 > 6 / 51
All links are to instances where i have used the name. 80% darkspace.

You just reminded me of a certain text-browsing DarkSpace-like game that I haven't visited in like... a month and a half or something.
Oops.

Ah, good. I was worried I might hurt the feelings of another old dude. Glad to see that didn't happen.

I know. I googled your name too, just to see how different it'd be from mine. Apparently, there are many things that have that name... including a key on the keyboard. I know, right?
- Anyway, this was all made for entertainment and sport; I was a bit bored at the time, and I needed something to do. So I did it. And now I'm doing something else: covertly bumping this topic to the top of the "Latest Topics" list, thus shrouding more meaningless and near-meaningless posts in the cloak of buriedness.
Or something like that. I can be melodramatic sometimes, so insert your own cool phrase up there.
