WTF? Crazy things can happen because of Facebook.

[KaciBlakely]

So here's how I cam across the story.

I was online, and decided to check my email from yahoo, one I haven't checked in forever and this is what popped up as the headline.

Unique Name finds Love.

Or something of the sort.

So I thought it sounded like an interesting read and decided to click on it.

After I read it, it sounded like a cliche romance comedy, with a big plus on the comedy level.

It sounds crazy and weird.

And now I'll you what it is, because I'm sure you are all interested.

Kelly Hildebrandt a girl from Florida was on Facebook and decided to search her name to see if anyone shared it.

One person did.

A guy from Texas, my home state, Kelly Hildebrandt was the only person who shared her name so she messaged him a quick sentence saying it was cool or something.

After three or four weeks, that's one month!, they decide to meet, well he flew to Florida and they started dating.

8 months later they are engaged.

So I have one thing in mind.

They said they searched and went back 250 years to see if they were related in some sort of way and they weren't, or so they said.

But really don't you think in some weird connection they are related at some point.

Whether it be, 450 years ago or later.

That's just creepy and weird if you ask me.

I just wanted to know if anyone else heard about it.

When I googled for this story there were 32,000 or so results so it looks like it fascinates people to some degree.

Weird but true I guess.

How does one sort through mail though?

[targetguy1]

it was on the front page of yahoo.com earlier.

I did hear about this earlier, it's pretty crazy. I know you're a private person and all that, but did you know there's an NDN Facebook group? You really should join it! I think it's called something like "www.nodepositneeded.com is the BEST forum on the web" or something like that. Check it out, at least, there are a lot of people you know on there. Eejit, Lori, PANAMHIEST, and others.

Um I didn't see the story. But no, I doubt they are related. And It's kind of romantic in a way. Each to their own.

But think about it ..... Do you know how many (Jim Smith's) there are? Do you think they are all related? NO!

Face Book Is cool! Each person sets their controls to their likings. You can completely hide yourself from the entire world except your friends if you like. No body can see you if you choose.

Have you checked it out? Or you are just dead set on not liking it?

I think she does have a Facebook, she just doesn't want to add anyone that isn't related to her or something. She talked about it somewhere in another post, I don't know if her feelings have changed on it or not. I know I have mine set where no one can search for me, I have to search for them. Even if you look at Klinkman's profile, it just says he's engaged, but it won't let you find me at all.

[KaciBlakely]

I'm just a private person is all and I'd rather talk on here than on facebook.

I have a facebook for family but not many people are able to find me.

I think my settings are I have to find them too.

I'll take a look though and see about joining the FB Ndn group.

You make me sound like I'm amish Tay! lmfao.

[freeringo]

Don't put personal info on facebook.
That info will be there forever. Can you afford to have everyone
that has contact with you to find personal stuff about you. Say a future employer. Might be fun now, but 10 years from now could be embarrassing.
Make up a cyber character and enjoy.

[eejit101]

I dont really care.

If they wanna risk it, good luck

[KaciBlakely]

I just don't let anyone search me, and leave everything I want offline, offline.

It's not that hard to still have fun and be a great asset to a forum or anything, like myspace, facebook, twitter.

I just don't need anything too personal getting out to people I don't want it to get out too.

So it doesn't.

Simple solution to me really.

And Ringo is right, I have heard people getting fired for their blogs, myspaces, facebooks, etc.

[0maxpower0]

Fired? Try arrested, lol. Didnt hear about that kid who was bragging on myspace or facebook or something about vandalizing some landmark ( or beating up some kid or date rape), he got nailed for it. haha what an idiot.

And about the two kellys...not trying to be too judgemental or anything, but i think the both of them were really starving for affection. Flying out to meet somebody with the same name as you, dating for less than a year than marrying... yea, id definately say they were both starving for "love". God bless em i guess.

[taylovesthebeatles]

Thing is, the people who are getting in trouble because of Facebook/Myspace or whatever are the ones who are dumb enough to post compromising pictures or information. That's really it. A boss isn't going to find anything unprofessional about you that isn't there. And yes your friends could be guilty of posting that kind of thing on their profiles about you, but that's still kind of your problem because that's a reflection on the kind of company you choose to keep. I'm not saying that it's not ok to get drunk and party or anything because I do it just like a lot of other people. I'm just saying be smart about what you let other people know about you, and you'll be fine :) It's simple, really. And I kind of agree with maxpower on the whole Kelly thing, as I know what it's like to be hopeful about something that you really want to work out that really isn't the best idea for you. But the romantic in me still hopes this turns out well :). The rest of me doesn't really think it's anyone else's business who marries who for what reason.

[KaciBlakely]

The romantic in me, really wants it to work out to.

I just thought it was a bit strange was all.

Tru dat. It really isnt any of my business, and i actually do sincerely wish them the best. Im with you though... its just a weird story. Would be even more hilarious if somehow they WERE related... phat chance, but itd still make me laugh my *** off. :-p

[freeringo]

There is a member on this site that shares my last name.

[KaciBlakely]

Say what?

Who?

That's not that strange but the same first and last name?

That's out of the ordinary, with the fact that they are marrying each other.

It's actually a pretty common and proven phenomenon that the happiest couples look and act an awful lot alike, even if they aren't related!

[taylovesthebeatles]

The same will soon be true for Klinkman! I can't wait, let me tell you.

[KaciBlakely]

I didn't think he meant that Tay, lol.

When is the wedding planned for?

Just wondering.

[eejit101]

Everyone shares my last name

101

[taylovesthebeatles]

We haven't set a date yet. Really long story, but hopefully we'll have something concrete soon though. Don't worry, we're definitely getting married!

[eejit101]

My facebook status for the day from 1 hours time will read Phil Pearson is a terrorist.


Any bets on if someone comes knocking

[KaciBlakely]

OH I wasn't worried.

It's clear to see that you and klink love each other.

And I'm not bitter, so I still believe in marriage, and the sanctity of marriage, so after I get my situation sorted out I'll want to do it again.

I just need to find a real man, that can take responsibility and love me for me and my son.

Nothing comes above my son, so if I have to wait to get married and start dating until he is 10 or older, I'll wait.

Hopefully I won't though.

I don't want to raise him, alone.

He could use an awesome step-dad.
