Hmm, my friend's girlfriend is being stalked by a sicko..

Quick background run: friend at Berkeley going out with girl, girl works at a store and maintains a Xanga (online journal) along with the masses.

So then, some weirdo with nothing better to do stumbles upon the girl's Xanga, who apparently is also from Berkeley..apparently reads all her entries..which in total can fill a mini-novel. He then starts IMing her for a little bit, which, is a tad weird but nothing out of the ordinary. Being the friendly person that she is, she doesn't mind it too much.

He starts to talk to her a lot more as of late, and she gets a bit creeped out by it..understandably so.

Today then is her b-day, and yesterday as she's about to forget about him, a guy comes by her WORK place..and actually comes in just a minute after her bf had left, goes up to her and asks "Are you [insert name here]?" She acts a bit suspicious but reluctantly says yes..he then proceeds to give her something and says "Don't open it until tomorrow", and then just leaves.

She then opens it a little later, and finds out that it's cotton candy..something she had mentioned to liking very much in her Xanga, and that the guy who stopped by was her adoring "fan".

And..in preparation of the obvious responses..given the nature of this story I don't think pics would be appropriate 😉
 
she makes her life public, of course she's gonna get attention.

I give that guy some credit for growing balls to do that..

Well, as the story seems quite stalkerish, I don't think the guy thinks what he did is that out of the ordinary. So probably doesn't need balls..he's just crazy like that.
 
Its a bit inappropriate, especially if she already mentioned she has a bf on her webpage. But if she hot/model-like, thats understandable.

We've all done our share of stalking...i remember trying to crack the school pin database since it was only 4 digits to find out more info on this girl i liked. I mean, a social and a 4 digit pin doesn't keep out very much, since the social were written on attendance sheets and homework assignments.

I guess...

but if her and the rest of the xanga community weren't such an attention whores then this wouldn't be a problem.

Well imagine if someone who read your posts started IMing you..you develop a small online relationship, he then does some research, finds out where you work, and then shows up to your work place with a b-day present.

Would you not be a bit worried about this person?

She posted no pics of herself..she could've been 5' and 300 lb. for all he knew.

I seriously hope it's a she. I dont' have a problem at all ( if it's a girl ). Plus I'm not doing my daily journal on the internet for everyone to see.
If it's a guy ? that I've talked to several times and the guy seems to be cool why not ?

I never met Tallbill but he seems like a cool dude. I wouldn't mind going to a bar to get a round of beers.
 
I found out where Kelvrick lived and snuck over and sporked his house (stuck plastic utensils in the ground out front). Does that count?

Nah, sporks are useful. Either as crappy forks or crappy spoons.

Well you're posting on a forum for all of the internet to see. And I'm not surprised you wouldn't have a problem with it being a girl..

And if he gave you no warning whatsoever..just read through a post of yours that you worked somewhere..dropped by, gave you something and just left? And..the guy thought you were hot stuff?

I mean if they had arranged to meet for a little while it wouldn't be all that bad..but given the situation it's a tad weird.
 
1.I would find it odd at first.
2.I would hope the guy isn't gay.
3. See 2 if he isn't and seems to be a cool dude then, we can grab a beer.

I really don't see it as a problem. I guess it's just different for guys.
If he wants to give me a present then by all means give it 🙂

yes. That is, quite possibly, one of the creepiest things I've ever heard of. I mean, goodness, what if I wake up one morning and my apartment door is covered in sporks? What would I think then, huh?
 
It doesn't sound weird to me. Like someone else said, she made her life public... why would it be unusual for someone to start IMing her?? And then, if they had established an im "relationship" then it doesn't seem like that much of a stretch to go meet her in person. (although you can look at it in one of two ways, you can call it creepy that he would show up where she works - or - you could say, well, the guy was just trying to be cute and surprise her...)

Ok, it's a LITTLE creepy, but it's her own damn fault. Maybe if she didn't want the whole world in her life, she should have kept it to herself?
 
is this a bad time for a DHITB?


but seriously, she should just tell the guy that she has a bf, whom she loves very much, and if he would please back off...

nope DHITB is good anytime any where~
 
Creepy? Yes. This is the reason I don't broadcast my life in some sort of on-line journal. Honestly, anyone who blogs openly about their personal life, I have trouble feeling sympathy for them for whatever comes as a result of their thoughtlessness.
