How to Find People and Influence Them Too.
Hello everyone - my name is Silla and this is my first blog. I suppose I should tell you a little about myself to begin with - so here goes: I'm a vegetarian, I try to run at least one marathon each year, I never discriminate when it comes to beer, I prefer green apples over red, I am getting my master's degree in linguistics and presenting a paper at the Helsinki conference this summer (which I'm extremely excited about because all kinds of great minds are going to be there including Umberto Eco)! I'm eating apple slices (green ones, of course) and oatmeal right now, and really enjoying it. Another thing I like to do in my free time is people search. My mom is first generation American... as are most the people on her side of the family that are her age. This created a situation where she lost touch with a lot of her relatives over the years because there was a lot of moving around by everyone in the family as they settled in the States. Last year she and I were talking about one of her cousins who she really was missing and wanted to get back in touch with. I had heard about these people searching / people finder sites online and decided to give it a try to find her cousin. Well, I not only found her cousin, but I found all kinds of other people I didn't even know were living in the US. It was awesome. So awesome in fact, that I've decided to center my blog on it. I've found there are so many people who don't know how easy it is to find a person with these people search engines, and it's just plain sad! More on all this to come, but for now I must go! Study calls.
