Me, that is.
Until about five minutes ago, I thought I was unique. Well, my name anyway. I just googled myself and found the friendster profile of a girl in Manila with my name, spelled the same way I do. (I say that because my first name has many spellings, and mine is the less common of the common spellings. My last name is ethnic, and not so common in English-speaking countries so mine is a rare combo.)
Oh well. No longer unique in name. But I was for 22 years (that other one is 17, according to her profile). I guess I can hope that her first name is an "adopted" name -- meaning, she chose to use it rather than her given name -- because I liked being able to claim that I was the only one in the world. I can't help but be a little bummed.
Oh well.
