Yes, I googled

A few nights ago I was talking to my so-called best friend on the phone and she was telling me about how her boyfriend's mother supposedly found his photo and name on a profile on an "alternative lifestyle" website. Long story short, he claims that someone stole his photo and name and made a profile on the website -- If you can't tell, I don't really buy the story that someone did something like that without his knowledge.

Anyways, I started searching on google for this so-called profile, and after an hour, I still couldn't find it. When I put his name and the word "sex" into google, however, there was a link to his Facebook page. I searched for every possible alternative lifestyle and fetish that I could think of, and nothing ever came up.

I think she called me in part to accuse me of doing it. Apparently I'm such a bitch that I'd take her boyfriend's photo and make a fake profile on some alternative lifestyle website under his name. I have done that kind of thing once in the past, but that was an ex-boyfriend of my own that I wanted to get revenge on. I wouldn't do that to some random person who's involved with someone I know.

And why was his super-conservative mom supposedly looking at alternative lifestyle websites anyway???

While I was in the middle of googling him, my older brother started talking to me on yahoo messenger. He hasn't done that in probably 6 years, so it was weird. I had emailed him the photos of the new puppy, so he got on messenger to ask me some questions about the dog. I decided to google my brother, which I hadn't done in a long time. It turns out that my brother now has a website that's like a virtual resume for his acting and marketing careers and he also has a baseball-related blog. I didn't know about either website.

His resume site is so stupid. He not only has his physical address on it, he has a virtual signature. It's easy enough for identity theives to steal your identity without you putting your actual signature as a graphic on the internet. Frankly, I could save the signature and use his social security number to forge credit card applications and buy all sorts of things now if I wanted to... but of course I'd never do that.

Note: That image above was from the movie "Confessions of a Shopaholic," which I really loved. I watched it two nights ago and found it to be quite interesting. I had heard from several people who had read the book before seeing the movie that the film was bad. Of course, I haven't read the book, so maybe that's why I like it.
