What with all this technology at my fingertips, my usual inquisitive self has been usurped by a leaner, meaner, and far far far scarier mark II. Yes, this ParanoidPromQueen has realised that the once innocent thirst for information has grown tenfold. Now, the cutesy curiosity has morphed into a beast...with full-on stalking potential.

Webstalkin', subterfuge, gleaning information from people, wry questions...my behaviour has restraining order written all over it.

And what makes it worse, is that I work like a stealth bomber creeping around unnoticed, because frankly, who would suspect such a short and innocent (ahem) looking person like me is trying to find out morsels of information about them?

I feel wretched.

Well, at least I did for a couple of days. And then I found consolation in two things;

1) Someone else I know admitted that they google search other people's names too.
2) Even though I'm planning some publicity events for a lovely author whom I've mentioned (somewhat sycophantically) in my blog before, and even though I have a huge crush on him and his Publicity guys have armed me with his two week publicity schedule (complete with home address, hotel addresses etc - the fools!) I have remained totally unwilling to further throw myself into this seedy world of infatuation.

Even my webstalkin' tendencies have limits...at least I would never turn into a physical stalker. Camera in sweaty hand as I lay camouflaged amongst foliage outside stalkee's house! Now that would be scary!
