Strage World

I know this may sound phreaky weird to some people, but others will completely understand what I am about to admit. I sometimes use myspace to spy. I sometimes type in the name of a person whom I should not be looking for on myspace. I sometimes type in the name of an ex boyfriend or that one girl (who teased me in school, but whom I wanted to be my friend sooooo badly). I know I am not the only one who does this, and I am not a voyeur or anything weird like that, I just sometimes want to know what happened to so and so.

Well the other night I found out. I found this person through a myspace page that belonged to my friend, and it was a friend of her friend's page; and there he was plain as day holding a new baby boy. I just sat there thinking how strange this was. I am very happily married, but here I was feeling a twinge of longing for the good old days when nothing mattered but what you were doing for the weekend. Now it is not like that, these people that I spied on have lives too, they have sick family members, these people have babies, these people get married, these people are all grown up. I was just taken aback the other day when I saw that life went on without me and he really found someone special and they now have a family. So congratulations ex boyfriend your baby is a real cutie.

I totally know what you mean, as I've done it myself. No wonder we get along so well...we're phreaks!

I don't spy on MySpace as much as Google and I had a similar experience. I was spying on the boy I had a crush on all through high school and found out that his mom died. I had such an urge to get in touch with him to send my sympathies, but realized he would know I had been stalking him via Google and would think that even after almost 20 years I still wasn't over him! Phreaky is as phreaky does!
