Stalker central →[More:]I was thinking about it, and there is really quite a lot of information about many of us on MeCha. It's quite the stalker resource.

We know about peoples' hometowns. We know what they do for a living, how they spend their time at their jobs and how many hours they work in a week.
We know what sort of music they put into a mix cd. We know their favorite beer.
We know their d r ea ms. We know whether they are happy. And, of course, we can hear them.

I'm thinkin'... we really like to talk about ourselves.

Anybody sufficiently interested in me that they begin stalking is seriously disturbed.

yeah...no one cares about us anyway : >

Well, I didn't mean it as a warning. Merely as an amused reflection on our need to share info about each other. Hey look at that: we're human!

posted by gaspode 21 July | 21:35

oh and jonmc and amberglow. If I was going to stalk anyone from here, you two would be top of my list, f'real.

posted by gaspode 21 July | 21:36

you already know what bars I go to. As long as you're buying, stalk away, sister.

"Hey look at that: we're human"

That's the best of all reasons for being here, speaking as a non-stalker new guy who's here for exactly that reason.

That's a great come-on line. : >

posted by amberglow 21 July | 21:44

For instance, which nostril do you prefer to pick? I like the right my self...

i could use a nice dose of stalker (smart, deep thinking, stealthy)

loquacious, can you move closer to the window, please?

posted by hlewagast 21 July | 21:56

and tell us every little thing about yourself

A challenge that is difficult to resist, although I suppose I should do something with my profile, just to catch up a little with the resta yous. And yes, liking it here very much, but still trying to figure myself, and all this, out.

which nostril do you prefer to pick?

All of them.

Speak for yourself.

I have actually thought about collating all that information to satisfy my curiosity about just how much we have all revealed here, but ~~haven't had time yet~~ thought better of it and decided to respect the privacy of those concerned.

posted by dg 21 July | 22:20

good idea, dg. TMI is not just a catchphrase.

posted by amberglow 21 July | 22:21

I want you to know that Jimmy has control of us all, he knows all of our names....and now we are waiting for Jimmy to kick.

posted by danostuporstar 21 July | 22:25

well, except that it was all put out there freely.

Happy birthday, Jenny.
Happy birthday, Jenny.
Happy birthday, Jenny.

I know where you live.

posted by PinkStainlessTail 21 July | 23:51

I have the hots for ALL of you.

And, anyone who stalks me is badly in need of a life of their very own.

That voice thread is awesome!

Everything I've ever said about myself here is a lie. I'm actually a lesbian albino chinchilla rancher in Sioux City, Iowa. That likes Pilsner Urquell. And listens to Maureen McGovern and Sammy Davis, Jr.

There. I've said it.
