In which the Internet is creepy: I spent Thursday & Friday nights at facesfriend's place. At no point did I connect to an internet via my laptop; at no point did I search the 'net for directions; and my phone Doesn't Internet and is in no wise associated with either Google or FB accounts. Most of our IMing is via gchat or IRC. How, then, is it that when I rocked up on facebook a little while ago from the Oxford Tube, it asked me if I lived in Cambridge, London, or facesfriend's area of town? BECAUSE IT HAS NEVER ASKED ME THAT BEFORE and Thursday was at most the second time I have been to that neck of the woods in my life.

Our last name is really rare here in the US, so I can see their algorithms going "oh, well, there's this family of [legal last name], so maybe she's tied to them. :D". (even if biomom doesn't have me and my brothers' last name anymore.) But, weirdly, it hasn't suggested that I follow either of my brothers, so.. IDK.
But the third? There was absolutely no reason to connect that name to the biomom's. It creeped me right the hell out.
