True Confession: I am a Facebook Stalker

There is something I need to confess, a struggle... no an addiction that I deal with on a every day basis I Lisi (insert full name here) am a facebook stalker.  It's true; people I am friends with, have just met, or may meet in the future I stalk their page like there is no tomorrow.  In fairness to myself as not to be clumped in with those who "like" everything and comment on everything I am a closet facebook stalker and am full of shame.  I don't like people to know about my dirty addiction, especially those in which I stalk, I have no "most embarrassing moment" in my life, but had someone I was FB stalking discovered my stalkery ways I would bury myself beneath my Egyptian cotton covers and never come out.  That is why I only look and peruse and limit my likes and comments.

Why do I stalk might none you ask?  Because I am nosey and curious and want to know all about the inward dealings of your life.  At a later date one might say "I posted pics from the party on my FB last night, did you see them" and being the addict that I am will look them right in the eyes and lie saying "No I haven't I will have to check them out tonight."  When in reality I have been refreshing and checking their page over and over again for the last three days waiting for them to load the pictures from the party!

Sadly most of my stalking is that of a junior high girl, I stalk those in which I think are handsome.  Like said handsome man in the previous post, or handsome man I flirted with at another occasion involving me in a fancy party dress.  I look at their pics over and over again, I see who they are becoming friends with, I maybe even stalk their friend's page to see what they are saying to them or the extent of their friendship, I have a problem.  I need help.

Now if any of the handsome men were to read this (and I assure you they will not as I do not advertise this blog in anyway, in the hopes that one day someone will stumble upon it and be shocked that this nonsense has been occurring AND said handsome men do not have the FB stalking disorder that I have as they are older, wiser, and handsome) I would deny deny deny that they were the handsome men I was referring too.  I would make up some long winded story about some man I met at some time whom has a very active FB page constantly updating, when in reality most of whom I FB stalk never do any updating or uploading of any kind.

Which brings me to my next point, I create my page as if someone is stalking MY page.  I try to limit my status updates to once a week UNLESS something is needed to be heard, I try not to comment on too many silly things, and when I do comment I try to make it some sassy snide and insanely clever and witty remark.  Who would analyze a page like this besides a junior high girl?  Me. Lisi (insert full name here) Facebook addict.

Now that I have confessed this ugly habit I feel better.  I have opened up my problem onto the inter web and feel that this is the first step in getting help.  Now if you excuse me I have forgotten what handsome man number 3 looks like in his facebook profile picture.  Until next time!

PS I love the word Idiosyncrasy (DEF: a structural or behavioral characteristic peculiar to an individual or group), and would love to put it into my vocab more often.
My idiosyncrasy of using facebook to stalk people I hardly know will never stop because I love it too much.  
This was the pic I found when I google imaged idiosyncrasy... again lots of duh-hurty pics!
