i'm a stalker. its true. if i know you, even if only peripherally, even if (okay even more likely if) only in my imagination - i could EASILY spend a day trying to find out information about you. i'm fascinated by what you do with your life, who you're sleeping with, who you're not sleeping with, where you shop, what you're eating (what you're not eating), who you're voting for and how you spend your free time.
if i know you, like really know you. like have seen/talked to you in the last five years, i don't care so much about your day to day life. so you're safe. but. if i went to high school with you or college with you or camp with you, or if i've seen you on tv or in a movie...check your privacy settings.
its the way i got into this whole blogging thing to begin with. facebook fills a great void (a void i'm not sure i knew existed until i began to fill it) in my life by keeping me up to date on the moment to moment actions of the people i am no longer really connected to, but now know more about than ever before. but what's better is when your facebook profile contains a link to your blog...jackpot! i now not only know WHO you're sleeping with, what you're watching on tv, if you're celebrating passover, BUT also how you feel about it! it's almost better than reality tv!
i'm not a very good stalker. like if facebook didn't let me know each time someone's relationship status changed, i'm not sure i would know how to find out. i love the easy access, i love that i can turn on my computer when i get to work each day and find out what you were doing the night before!
i love wedding websites, again, even of people i don't know. i love knowing what people have registered for. i've also moved on to babiesrus.com...i want to know what stroller you think is best, and of course how you plan to decorate the nursery. i love it when you put up pictures from your various trips and nights on town. i especially love it when your pictures include other people i know. especially when they are drunk. and fat. sorry. that was mean. just drunk. i love it when you blog about the baby you are about to have. i am fascinated that people that i know are having babies (and is it weird that so far they are all boys?). i can't get over the fact that you are having a baby, or that you are getting married. even though i'm married i think its SO WEIRD that you are married.
i believe whole heartily that if you take you must also provide - so while i stalk, i also make sure that i am providing information for others. i assume that the rest of the world is just like me and while i wouldn't argue that my life is very interesting, i would argue that it's the mundane stuff that you're really searching for.
i've got to get down to pt (if i was reading someone else's blog this would be the kernel of truth i was searching for) and then home. ABN is working on his revisions and i'm having kosher for passover wine with an old friend (hold the strawberries).
in other earth-shattering news, i fear that my flat iron is slowly dying on me...it's trying to hang on for dear life but over the last few days its had trouble heating up. this has caused some serious heart palpitations...stay tuned.
