Can you stalk on the internet? Apperently it’s possible. But it’s different from stalking Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes to catch a glimpse of the demon seed that’s going to be burrowing it’s way out of her womb that was designed specifically to carry the reincarnation of L. Ron Hubbard. No, internet stalking is different.
You find someone on MySpace (the other damnation that I feel L. Ron had his alien fingers in) and you find there Blog. You search for their AIM, ICQ or Yahoo Mesanger screen name. You read about there lives that they spill in their Blogs. Then you add them to your Instant Messanger (whichever one your prefer) and you see them pop on and open a window. BUT, you don’t send a message. You just watch the name and wait for it disappear and then find pictures of Kelly LeBrock, say dirty things to them and then go to bed crying yourself to sleep on a pillow of salty tears.
Now if you are someone that does what I mentioned in the previous paragraph . . . uh . . . yeah I don’t have any help for you. But I have a great story for you!
Pinch (Chris) and I were watching Lucas’ parents house while they were on a family vacation. Dad said we could have people over and mom said no parties. So what did we do? You got it, threw a party. But, only with a few friends. Now here is where the story gets interesting.
Pinch and I had been at Starbucks, our usual hangout in those days, and had run into an old friend of mine from high school. Let’s call her S. Lockwood. No, Saritta L. No, that’s too obvious. Let’s call her Stalkatron2K3. So we invite S2K3 and her friend over to our place to the party. They show up and we all drink and have a good time. Now Pinch and S2K3 go to bed and everyone else passes out. I don’t think anything happened with them but I could be wrong.
S2K3 leaves early and Pinch and I sleep in.
Around Noon we hear sounds coming from downstairs. Sounds of cleaning and bottles being put in trash cans and all the lovely sounds that come with cleaning up after a party. We think nothing of it and sounds stop and then the front door shuts. We wake up and find the house cleaned and ready for the next night. Not sure of who did this we go on with our merry lives.
Throughout the day we receive phone calls from S2K3 and I hit decline on the phone. Yeah, I know that is rude but after the 12th call I was kinda getting freaked. We meet up with Shannon and Sexy Beast at Starbucks and have some smokes and coffee and talk about the previous nights events. About an hour later S2K3 shows up and comes up to us. She talks about how she cleaned the house (mystery solved) and how she had fun. S2K3 wonders what we are up to the night and we give her the story about “Oh we are soooo tired and just gonna head home and pass out. Sorry.” We part ways and tell Shannon and Sexy Beast to meet us back at the house.
We get to the house and since it’s summer decide to hang on the front porch and Sexy Beast and Pinch light up a bowl. For some reason we kept the lights to the house off and just chilled in the darkness, thank God! About 20 minutes later a car comes down the street very very very slow. We thought it might be a cop so we kinda ducked on the couch and hid behind the banister of the front porch. Turns out it wasn’t a cop. . . it was S2K3!!! She parked in front of the house, car running and rolled her window down. All of us were silent but watching her. Our hearts were pounding. After about 10 minutes my phone started to vibrate (again, thank God for inventing vibrating phones) and it was her. After two calls she put the car in gear and drove off.
We all had a good laugh about this and the story of S2K3 still lives and is still funny to this day. But, whenever I see her in public, which is about as often as Clay Aiken hooking up with a girl, I run the other way.
