Find Someone, Oliver. Find Somone Like You.

I give up. No, really. The divorcee never called me back. And I did another background check on her, and I think she might have died. I found a death certificate on someone with her same name, and to be honest, it's been so long and painful of a process, that I think I just going to give up on this background search entirely. I mean, I've learned about how to do a people search, so maybe my skills would be better served to background check sitters. Anyway, I'll keep updating this blog, not sure with what yet. Maybe omega 3 benefits.

Wow, this mystery gets deeper and deeper. The divorcee finally returned my call, but I wasn't there to get it. She just left a mysterious voicemail. She said that she's also doing a people search for him but hasn't had any luck. That's all I know, because she left this message, but no return phone number, and the number she called was blocked. I'm really bummed. I would love to talk to her in more detail. I tried another address lookup but no luck. I'd love to know what sites she's using. With our powers combined, imagine what we could do. There would be lots of background report information we could find if only we worked together. Divorcee, if you're out there, call me back!

Back again...

So I went ahead and contacted that guy's family, and I was all set to pass on my information and see if he'd be willing to meet with me. But when I find his sister, she tells me she's looking for him too. She's been reading up on how to find people on this find person site, which I thought was a pretty cool site. But then I tell my girlfriend about how even his family doesn't know where he is, and she immediately starts envisioning this great big plot around this missing physicist, and so she starts asking me more about the theory. She asks me "what's sexy about it?" I start trying to explain, and her eyes totally glaze over (good thing she looks cute like that) and she starts in again, "no, but what's sexy about it? What would make someone want to make a physicist disappear?"

I wasn't quite sure where to start with that, so we enlisted my friend Bill's help in finding something "sexy" about physics to write about. Meanwhile, my girlfriend wants to get a draft of her new brilliant idea (her first foray into science fiction, she says) done for her class on Friday afternoon and it's Thursday evening. We find Bill at the local bar, a couple of drinks into happy hour. My girlfriend starts quizzing him about what is "sexy" in physics, but then he turns the whole thing around on her and asks her an English question. He was reading this rant on
to the humps and the bumps, which was pretty funny, and wants to conduct a scientific experiment about it. So my girlfriend decides we should leave him to it as he heads out to cruise the local streets with a tape measurer and a designated driver (his girlfriend), and my girlfriend still needs to write her story about the missing physicist.

We head back to her place and again I try to explain why it's difficult to compute the entanglement of formation of a bipartite state, and she decides she doesn't need to know the science to write the story after all, and instead has her missing physicist create something that no one knows what it does, and they need to find him to figure out what it does. Half the people in the story want to use it anyway, and the other half are afraid to. It turned out pretty good actually. I was impressed she actually got it done.

But with all that, I forgot all about looking for the guy himself. My girlfriend suggested I try contacting his ex wife. I hadn't before because I didn't think she'd be cooperative, but my girlfriend thought that he might be paying alimony and that that might be a good way to find him.

I think she's more invested in this mystery than I am....

Hello online world! My name is Oliver, but my friends call me Ollie, obviously. Well actually, my mother calls me Oliver, and when she's angry with me she will say, Oliver Christian Kent! That's my full name. My guy friends sometimes call me O, which I think is a little weird, but they made it up, not me. Let's see, what else. I have never blogged before, so forgive me if my entries seem novice. My girlfriend has a blog, but she's also a writer, so hers are very well written. Sometimes she uses her blog as a rough draft for whatever story she's working on. I am getting my PH.D in Physics, so that I can teach and research, so right now I am just assisting and studying. I guess you could say I'm dorky, but well meaning. I think that sums up my personality. I am really into science fiction and fantasy, Star Wars especially. I've been really into that since I was a kid. Anyways, I have a class that starts soon so I better head out. Let's see how good I can get at blogging!
