C'mon, you've all done it. Here's what comes up for one of mine:

Suzanne Bowes was my first girlfriend in highschool. I have no idea what she's doing on this site, 2,000 miles away from where I met her and talking like some new-age drip.

― may pang (maypang), Thursday, 11 December 2003 06:00 (twenty-two years ago)

what's scarier is when no results show up at all.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 11 December 2003 06:08 (twenty-two years ago)

only instance of one of mine, and it's freaking old. (top one btw)

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Thursday, 11 December 2003 06:08 (twenty-two years ago)

tracy lester, you ruined my life; where are you?

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 11 December 2003 06:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Theres an old bf I'd love to find on google, but I've found nada even close. I think he's one of those mysterious weirdos whose life isnt so much as touched by computers. I heard people like that exist :/

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 11 December 2003 06:09 (twenty-two years ago)

One seems to be a law librarian in Georgia and another works for a SF comedy group and another seems to be involved with community theater. Two seem to not exist on the web and I can't for the life of me remember anyone else's last name (and a bunch of their first names either, um) so there ya go.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 11 December 2003 06:17 (twenty-two years ago)

"shhhhh baby, last names just get in the way."

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 11 December 2003 06:18 (twenty-two years ago)

there's only one i'd like to find that i can't. she's in london somewhere.

"Who are you and why are you wearing my Slayer t-shirt? Hmmn. I did? Oh. Um, well I say a lot of things. Can I get you some Corn Pops?"

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 11 December 2003 06:20 (twenty-two years ago)

there are three: two hack indie filmmakers and a hack musician. the one i still talk to just started a blog.

― bad jode (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 11 December 2003 06:25 (twenty-two years ago)

One of mine plays bass in bunnygrunt now. Do I win the twee crown?

― bnw (bnw), Thursday, 11 December 2003 06:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Bunnygrunt?!?! Fuck yeah!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 11 December 2003 06:27 (twenty-two years ago)

was raised in the Philippines and Singapore by parents of Filipino and German descent.

My current gf's Filipino/Greek!

― may pang (maypang), Thursday, 11 December 2003 06:28 (twenty-two years ago)

oh, of the major ones: one is still one of my best friends and she works for a company that makes bobble-heads; one is dead; one was a junior wear designer and since i havent heard hide nor hair of her in three years i can only assume she still is (and isnt dead or named mother shabooboo now); one still lives in queens; and one you all know still lives in olympia.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 11 December 2003 06:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Mother Shabooboo hahahaha

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 11 December 2003 06:31 (twenty-two years ago)

One of mine appears multiple times and in less than flattering terms in some woman's blog and also in another individual's livejournal. Rather distressing really.

― mouse, Thursday, 11 December 2003 07:02 (twenty-two years ago)

One of mine posts on the Teenbeat Records message board it seems. I guess she was always a little twee.

― adam (adam), Thursday, 11 December 2003 07:07 (twenty-two years ago)

haha yeah i can't remember the last name of my first g/f.

another person i wanna lookup has the most common name ever.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Thursday, 11 December 2003 08:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Two or three of my exes are VERY googleable as one is a globetrotting singer/songwriter, another is a comedian/DJ, another attempted to become a popstar (and still has his admirers) and another posts here/ILM occasionally.

― suzy (suzy), Thursday, 11 December 2003 08:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Mine has a very similar name to an old actress and is thus proving very difficult to locate. Any hints if all you know is their full name and date of birth? I feel like a stalker all of a sudden.

― Rob M (Rob M), Thursday, 11 December 2003 09:36 (twenty-two years ago)

argh student journalism makes this so boring!

― pete b. (pete b.), Thursday, 11 December 2003 09:57 (twenty-two years ago)

One of mine married a man named Jones and thus disappeared into 15,000 results on Google hell; three are lawyers whose firms don't publish pictures or bios of associates (none of them were lawyers at the time, nor was I even in law school -- it's all a horrible coincidence); the one I'd really like to find shares her name with a compulsive Internet poster and is thus not easily located.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Thursday, 11 December 2003 10:09 (twenty-two years ago)

One of mine is getting married next April (but you all know about that).

My first ever girlfriend is possibly a childcare health visitor in North East Lincolnshire, but that doesn't sound entirely convincing (but she has a very specific name so I guess it is likely to be her)

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 11 December 2003 10:36 (twenty-two years ago)

one maybe has moved to PA (but might still be in chicago-- he's the textbook support for PA, but the company headquarters is in chicago)

a couple have such common names that tons show up that isn't true.

one has the same name as a journalist, apparently

one is still reviewing video games.

nothing too exciting or surprising. i stay in touch with a lot of them.

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 11 December 2003 10:50 (twenty-two years ago)

one of my exes came 15th in the machester women's marathon last year.

― toby (tsg20), Thursday, 11 December 2003 11:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I get a hit about killer wives in Aeschylus. It figures.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Thursday, 11 December 2003 11:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Tom Ewing is not my ex boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife but I like this new Cap'n Tom Ewing better than that boring old congressman and Devon indie band.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 11 December 2003 11:10 (twenty-two years ago)

one of mine would appear to be a brand manager for a Chinese food company in Kent - sounds about right

― chris (chris), Thursday, 11 December 2003 11:15 (twenty-two years ago)

One of mine has decided to relive high school forever and ever by becoming a color guard instructor and starting his own sadass "senior winter guard". So much for that degree in meteorology (although I guess he's still storm chasing on the winter guard off-season).

Another of mine is still living in the same dumpy flat near Griffith Park in L.A. Apparently he's a teacher but I haven't found his school. But I don't care enough to get that U.S.S. search thingy.

― Catty (Catty), Thursday, 11 December 2003 11:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I accidentally found one of mine on ILE, ha!

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Thursday, 11 December 2003 11:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I think that's happened to a few people.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 11 December 2003 11:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Aw and I thought I was special.

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Thursday, 11 December 2003 11:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I was making a joke but didn't know that right emoticon to use.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 11 December 2003 11:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought ILE was just full of your exes. Like it should have been called ILC.... a board of all the broken-hearted women you've loved before.

― Catty (Catty), Thursday, 11 December 2003 11:28 (twenty-two years ago)

None of my proper exes are showing up (for which I am eternally grateful) but googling one ex-casual pull reveals she is a producer on TOTP (but then I knew that anyway). I need to get back in touch and ask whether or not Andi is on crack.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 11 December 2003 11:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm still kind of in touch with all my exes but one and she seems to have last had an internet presence in 1994, a year before I went out with her.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 11 December 2003 11:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I've just found a girl I was obsessed with for a few years, certainly the picture looks like her - she now works for the Countryside Commission.

― Rob M (Rob M), Thursday, 11 December 2003 11:35 (twenty-two years ago)

a board of all the broken-hearted women you've loved before.

Say what? Unless you know something I don't and there are loads of 'em hidden behind pseudonyms, then there's only one...and no broken hearts.

And to answer the actual question, most of my exes are ungooglable due to them all having got married and changed names in the intervening years. Current squeeze brings up some wicked pictures tho ;-)

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Thursday, 11 December 2003 11:35 (twenty-two years ago)

You promised you wouldn't tell!

― Current Squeeze (Catty), Thursday, 11 December 2003 11:41 (twenty-two years ago)

My most recent ex was on ILE when we were going out.

One is apparently working on Point to point GHz digital radios and FPGA implementation of digital radio hardware. Another is a lecturer in medieval history at St Andrew's uni.

My first boyfriend only came up on a bus spotters forum, answering a question about his family bus company's fleet.

And of course one of them found me on ILE.

― Vicky (Vicky), Thursday, 11 December 2003 11:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Every single one of my exes had common names.

I did just find out yesterday though that my last bf of 3 years is engaged to someone a bit famous, so I googled the fiancee.

Oh yeah, when I googled my own email address, a guest book comes up from a porn short stories site I was directed to from ILX!?!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 11 December 2003 12:15 (twenty-two years ago)

bnw you dated J3n?? or don't tell me it was R3n33????

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 11 December 2003 14:37 (twenty-two years ago)

sorry of course you don't have to answer that, it's just the whole small world thing. I had my first proper conversation with my best friend at a Tsunami show where R3n33-era Bunnygrunt opened.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 11 December 2003 14:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Almost all of my exes have ridiculously common names, so I get a bunch of geneology stuff with Sarahs or Megans from the 17th century. The only one with a slightly distinct name, no results. Bitchin'.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 11 December 2003 14:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Most of them seem to have very common names! One of them only comes up stuff about his father, a well-known professor in Massachusetts who shows up on all sorts of Israel-Palestine pages. The British one only shows up a lot of REALLY BORING programming stuff he does! Open source codes and stuff like that. Which isn't weird per se, I mean that's what he did for a living but he was a pretty cool guy, too bad this is all that represents him. But I know he got married to a girl named Kelly and they had a baby a year or two ago. Another one is a math teacher and an image on one of the pages reveals he's still wearing his fucking Speed Racer t-shirt!!! I've seen this photo before because a friend of mine saw it and emailed it to me but it's still a stunning thing, I mean why?? It was a terrible shirt when we were 14, never mind now.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 11 December 2003 14:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Woah, one of my exes has started running marathons in DC.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 11 December 2003 14:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Threadkiller.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 11 December 2003 15:09 (twenty-two years ago)

wow, my HS gf writes for the Indianapolis Star! That's not surprising really since she was going to IU to become a journalist anyway, but most people don't actually wind up doing what they plan on doing, at least in my experience.

Another one is finishing law school pretty soon and then Liz got out of the USAF a month before I did, assuming she didn't extend her contract, which I seriously doubt. I have no idea what she's doing now and am not interested enough to find out.

― TOMBOT, Thursday, 11 December 2003 15:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, basically all of my exes wrote for their college newspapers and then wrote for online sites afterwards.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:07 (twenty-two years ago)

― Chuck Tatum (Chuck Tatum), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:24 (twenty-two years ago)

None of mine have come up, which means none of them have done anything interesting with their lives.

― Chris B. Sure (Chris V), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:24 (twenty-two years ago)

oh yes and the girl I was obsessively lovesick over all through high school went on do more modeling, did some acting in unseen films, did some halloween theater thing in SF which involved uncharacteristically racy stuff, then became a real estate agent. But I'm still in touch with her so it's not really big news. She is still HAWWWWTTT though.

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 17:30 (twenty-two years ago)

my first one i get some usenet stuff from a deep ecology list and a midwest rave list

one works for the city of duluth doing environmental stuff

two are local actresses, there are some stills & posters out there. one i'm great friends with, the other i've lost track of and apparently is playing a nun in some local tv thing.

(i'm sooo tempted to post the pics, seems wrong somehow) (i probably would if i'd put a pic of ME up on here yet)

Eighteen year old Lucy Flintoff of Burghfield Common is the West Berkshire Junior Citizen of the Year 2003.

Lucy was nominated by the Fun-Fair Summer Playscheme for children with learning difficulties.

Gill Cleaver, Co-ordinator at Fun-Fair, explains why they nominated Lucy.

She said, "For the past three years Lucy has volunteered to help at Fun-Fair. Each year she has chosen to work one to one with a boy with severe autism and challenging behaviour. She has shown a very caring and understanding attitude and worked hard to forge a relationship with the child, helping him to take part in activities and to have fun. This year, she spoke at our training day for prospective new volunteers. She spoke honestly and was a great inspiration. We feel that she is a truly deserving winner of the West Berkshire Junior Citizen of the Year Award."

Keith Lock, Chairman of West Berkshire Council added, "The panel was extremely impressed with Lucy's nomination. She has shown herself to be a very committed and caring person and we are delighted to be presenting her with this award."

Revive!! I found out that the married one has another baby on the way, and that one of them switched careers, went into PR and volunteers as a "youth councilor" at some Catholic retreat, which is really fucking creepy to me! Also, not an ex-bf but I'm becoming increasingly convinced that I once stabbed the dude who writes ebaumsworld.com in the head with a pencil in Spanish class.

eleven months pass...

I found an exboyfriend's blog yesterday. We went out in high school REALLY briefly, but I was convinced at the time that he was the one. When we broke up, I thought I'd lost my chance to ever be happy and might as well start pulling my hair back and collecting cats for my old lady house. Um, just check it out.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 22 July 2005 12:38 (twenty years ago)

This thread inspired me to google my ex-girlfriend, just now.

Not especially exciting or unexpected.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 22 July 2005 12:44 (twenty years ago)

Sorry Sarah, but your ex-boyfriend seems to be engaged in honorable and admirable endeavors.

To the best of my (and google's) knowledge, my exes are now: an English Lit/Arabic grad student, a boat builder, a policeman, a med student, a drug dealer, an insurance salesman, and a carpenter.

It's incredibly funny how some things turn out.

For my first girlfriend ever nothing comes up at all.

One of my first big crushes has an artist site now where there's actually a picture of her naked, albeit in full body paint and not in a very flattering pose.

The girl I dated before my fiance works for some peace organization now, but the most interesting thing is that there's a woman with the same name as her who's a dean at some college and looks exactly like what I'd expect my ex look like as an adult.

When this thread was started, I tried to look for my first "girlfriend" (if two weeks of dating is enough to call someone that), but found nothing. I googled her again now, and apparently she has won 15000 euros in the Finnish version of "Do You Want to Be a Millionaire". Maybe I should try to get in touch with her again... ;)
