How creepy am I?

Post Reply New Topic

My friend and I were screwing around on facebook, talking about girls (or I think i brought this up with him) and we looked up this girl I like.
I was looiking through her family's stuff and it turned out her mom was a kick@ss motivational speaker...I went to her blog and looked up her book...Idk if I should post the link, it's such an awesome motivational life story ( think she writes under a pen name similar to her real name)

but maybe it'd be a violation of privacy?

If I'm allowed to give the link to show what I am talking about, I'd like to be informed...but heretofore, how bad would it be if I went back to school tomorrow or maybe in another day reading that book in school?

Like lol it's not like I'd show it off or something, it's just that i read books in class.

EDIT: Okay, thanks I'll post it

When people set up a blog they start losing bits of their privacy. I'm learning this the heard way, btw. Thoughts, ideas, stories, journals, artwork and posts on blogs are meant to be seen by the world. It's okay to link to it.

If the link is on the internet, it is ok to post it. They put it there knowing it could be shared, and if it's a book to be sold, the free publicity will probably be a good thing.
Regarding the girl: if she's on Facebook, she should have considered the possibility of being looked up. You can hide pretty much whatever you want from the public on Facebook, or just not have one.

So IOW, you aren't creepy at all.

Yes, it would be bad. The girl would think you're way too invested in her.

I guess I should ask, is the girl a friend? Or is she a potential friend and someone you'd like to get to know better?

It's facebook god damn it people! It's essentially the modern version of Ancient Greek and Roman forums, all information spoken and or shown immediately becomes public and is no longer private. Let me put it this way if she didn't want anyone to see her mother's profession then she shouldn't have posted about it.

If you post the information on the internet, on a public webpage, you have no expectation of privacy.

If she's running a blog, she probably WANTS it to be linked in order to get more views.

People who write books want people to read them. ; ) I would say read the book in school and see if she asks you about it. Its a pretty old fashioned and rather sophisticated way to possibly get a girl's attention. If you try to approach her about it, it can be more complicated to navigate successfully.

LOL i never would go up to a girl and talk to them about their mom's book!Dafuq that is mad creepy.

lol she didn't post about it, it's on her mother's "about" page. My friend was checking out her pix and he found her mom...see i told you it was creepy.

Well, I wouldn't go up to her and tell her "Hey, lookie i'm reading yo mama's book!" lol, no I mean quietly reading and maybe she notices.

Also she's a potential friend, I guess, maybe...she's in my drama class, she's got a very quiet, but interesting demeanor. I think she's really cool, I admire her and want to get to know her. She's in my sister's year, 10th, and my sister says she used to live in China (remember her mom is an expatriate, what a bad@ss)...and I'd really like to get to know her. I've done something pretty f*****g stupid to her before,though...respond and I'll explain.

In high school and sometimes later, sometimes a person can recover socially from doing something stupid, and sometimes they can't.

Okay, I agree that when someone puts something out there, even with facebook and the privacy settings (which I've read facebook often resets!) but all the same, it is out there.

But emotionally, it may feel like 'stalker-ish' behavior, even though it's not.

Seems a bit stalkerish if you do it in real life.

Posting it on the internet doesn't really matter.
