I'll be watching you.
Anyway, in the end he decided not to make it an issue so we're not inviting her (she just broke up with one of his good friends anyway so now he has an excuse if any of her friends say anything to him). But before that I looked her up on myspace where she has a zillion pictures of herself and for some reason I can't stop looking at them. And reading those stupid messages. I'm sick, I know. Kind of like the whole checking my ex's xanga thing. And this is why the love-hate relationship with the internet. And the hate-hate relationship with myspace. I don't have a myspace account precisely so that I won't end up wasting my time doing this stupid crap.
Damn Friendster, Xanga and MySpace, they make stalking people way too easy. This can't be good for my OCD. I'm banning myself from going anywhere near myspace ever again.

I have a friend who seems hooked on those sites and it's kind of weird to me. She looks at sites of people that irk her, too, and I just don't understand that.
I stop myself from going to websites, blogs especially, of people I'm not really fond of for one reason or another (especially if I know them personally in some manner). I don't want them seeing that I'm checking their site or something and have them think I care when I really am just a curiously weird beast who wants to understand why people are they way they are better.
Kind of like the girl who gives you the evil eye for no apparent reason. There probably is a reason and you should just be glad you don't know it for sure. I didn't want to have a chick glaring at ME on my wedding day, which is why my own now-hubby and I had a bit of a talk about things while doing the guestlist. I knew of those who would be glaring at me and, after one particularly fateful meeting and several long discussions afterwards, he agreed that they shouldn't be invited. Luckily, we had also just decided to make the guestlist VERY small anyway (in a literally standing room only space), so we didn't have to worry too much about it.
I also have had issues with people on my blog being snide and rude, which is why I finally moved from blogspot to wordpress. I think I have a love-hate relationship with the internet, too. I think it makes people feel as though they are keeping up with friends through blogs and short, non-emails when, in fact, they don't know a thing that's going on in their friends' lives any longer...other than what someone's chosen to write about. And, really, who writes openly about struggles that are VERY personal in a blog such as mine? I have changed so much in the past year alone, as has my husband, and neither of us have written about it online. It's too...emotional and personally introspective and honest for this forum.
