There is nothing more beautiful than to see the tags people found you through in google. Or other search machines, as I was most surprised to learn that someone had found me through one of those, next to six other horribly sophisticated authors writing on Lou Andrea Salome. It opens wings to imagination and you may even make up whole novels derived of this accidental association. If your page is found by someone who is making a research on ‘the life of Athinia Onassis’, for example, and another one opening ATHINA ONASSIS, you may let your fantasy grow imagining it was Athina Onassis herself, and thus create the most crazy short story imaginable. (I will never do, thus you are allowed to copy the idea.)
Funnier though and result of the before mentioned, the following story: someone falls on my page researching molina+origins, and then another through ’searching nice pictures in pak’, which is to say in Pakistan. As my aunt, Meyi Checa de Hamdani (have to make her famous, too) is actually living in Islamabad and working at a call centre, I do deeply suspect this marvellous woman has boasted herself with her little (what’s the female of nephew, now?) sister’s daughter, and gives my blog to everyone. A very suspicious Pakistani (they are always very suspicious these Pakistani with boasting people, and they are completely right) reads the page on origins in http://sonjakasten1.wordpress.com and tries to verify whether it is all true. He thus makes a google research and appears … the same article. “Won’t believe it,” he says to my aunt, “it’s all true.”
Funnier though is the idea, someone who is very seriously researching on ‘asexual schizoid’ (but who the devil may have had such an idea …), has my articles on ‘Sexual life’ (same http) invading her/his screen along with dozens to hundreds of horribly serious articles written by psychologists and psychiatrists on the same matter. Must have been … a psychiatrist!
Thus, another possibility: one of my cooking’s section admirors reads most enchanted article on painter Karabulut and gets interested by his painting. Contacts thus very serious art gallery in Istanbul, requesting further information on his paintings and saying someone has mentioned his name in WordPress (don’t forget making WordPress publicity!). Very astonished picture seller in Istanbul (used to know he is only mentioned in Turkish speaking fields) gets thus through article of ‘three or four paintings’ and … lets my friend know … they’ve found the bridge to the American market!
To say. It’s quite amusing. Of course I couldn’t help imagining the one who had made a research on Rothweiler was Sask herself, and made up a whole story where aleatory researches allow encounters all over the world. Know that the goal of this page was to find Sask, actually, as explained in the mentioned http… even if not found, it would give a marvellous story.
In the meantime, I ask the last of Alabama for a little patience, until google decides to spit its results out of his belly. It’s just a question of time …
