I was blessed with being named after a car. No really, I'm dead serious. I love my name. It's so common in the motor industry world, yet not very common as an actual human name. I also find it very pretty, if I can get passed the jokes. I don't know how many times I've been watching t.v. with my family when a commercial to "trade in your Kia now for a brand new car!" has come on. Having three brothers, you can just imagine all of the crap that I get.
Surprisingly, I often forget that I have the same name as a car. It's not until I tell somebody my name for the first time that I get the ever so common, "Oh, like the car?!" response.
In my head I'm just like:
But I can't help but laugh because I know that is exactly what I would say if I was in their shoes. And in all honestly, I don't mind being asked that every single time I meet someone because it means that every single time I meet somebody I will get a good laugh!
More importantly, it's my name and I love it. It's so common yet so unique. And most importantly, it helps with my online identity. If you search my first name on Google without knowing how to spell my last name (and this is pretty much everybody since I'm guessing that some of you aren't even sure how to pronounce Lechleitner) all you will get is a bunch of deals on the newest Kia!
I mean, I wouldn't pass up the great offers if I were you, but if you happen to search my last name as well I'm still super easy to find. I think this is wonderful since not everything I do online will be easily found, but when need be it won't take somebody hours to find me.
Now, if you happen to spell my last name correctly, what will you find? And more importantly, what will you think about me?
My Twitter and Facebook seem like any normal account. I retweet funny, sad, and inspirational tweets. As for Facebook my use is very limited. Pictures speak a thousand words, so let's focus on Instagram. I first started using Instagram a little over a year ago. Today it is something that I check daily, almost like the newspaper.
As you can see in the picture on the left, I have my twitter name in the bio of my Instagram. So if you found me on Instagram you could easily find me on Twitter. Looking through all of my Instagram posts I noticed that I tend to use humor in a lot of my pictures.


I'm notorious for bad puns.
I also enjoy making fun of myself frequently.
Aside from the humor I use, I also have some pretty cool posts, but I might be just a little bit biased.
Because I may or may not be biased I asked for help from my friends.
You have to like your friends for being completely honest. I know I'm a little weird. I mean heck, we all know that there's something strange about me. I'm just happy that my personality shines through in my use online. If somebody would ever know how to spell my name correctly when they searched for me then they would definitely be able to see who I am.
Aside from the humor I use, I also have some pretty cool posts, but I might be just a little bit biased.
I love this! I know I'm not in your group but the car thing... couldn't resist. You are frickin awesome (I wanna meet that baby deer) and super funny. I know people around you always get a brighter day when you say something cause you always manage something fantastic! :D
ReplyDeleteKia,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jaime that your post is so cheeful and awesome! I really like your take on e-dentity. It was really cool that you even shared stuff you found online in your post. I am curious to know what you would say to people about e-dentity? I mean, your e-dentity reflects yourself very well, but do you think some people have an e-dentity very different from their identiy? Do you believe that some people kind of create the best version of themselves?
