Are you a stalker? Do you creep yourself out sometimes as well? Do you try to cover up your stalkingness to be less weird around your friends?
I sadly find the lives of my friends (and their friends, and their friends friends) waaaayyyy to interesting. I find myself reading random blogs, looking at photos of people I’ve never meet and never will, looking up friends of friends and pouring over details of their lives. I creep myself out. I find myself knowing random informative facts that I accidently let slip at times and find myself trying to make weird excuses.
But then in some ways, I figure if people are making themselves open to stalking, is there anything horribly wrong with that? If they have their whole world up on [insert cool computerised social medium] surely they must know that people will be looking and reading? Do they WANT me to look and read and inventibly envy them? Though I try to draw the line when I start thinking the “those people are way cooler than me” thoughts and try to switch off facebook/twitter/blogs/google and get on with my life (and start thinking up really cool facebook status updates that I can do from somewhere ‘exotic’ on my phone. Yup. I need a life.
You have a point there. You can't exactly blame randoms for reading you're private information when really, you havn't made it private at all. On the flip side, I'm the opposite of you; I just really don't care haha what a snob dude.

I'm pretty sure I copyrighted that line. That's the thing that I say.
