Well, it started off pretty innocently... I'm writing a review on this play I watched for my English class, and I needed to get some background information on this one actor. So I decided to google him... and I happened to come across his public Facebook profile. One click led to another, and I ended up looking through all his pictures, seeing how GORGEOUS his girlfriend is, and finding out he added all the other cast members as friends (except he's the only one dumb enough to keep his public). I'm not a creeper.
 Do you Facebook stalk people (BE HONEST)? And if so, who or what kind of people do you stalk? |

I facebook stalk people all the time. Anyone I find interesting, I guess. There is often no rhyme or reason behind it. I don't know. Facebook makes me really f*cking creepy sometimes. I have no real problem admitting that I facebook stalk in general, though actually telling people that I facebook stalk them is not something I would do because that shit's weird.

I seriously have a problem. Did I tell you about how I fb stalked this guy's girlfriend? He's in my Psych class and I really like him, he's a cool guy and really easy to talk to. So I check out his fb, which leads me to his gf's fb, and she is honestly, the coolest girl ever. First of all, she's gorgeous and SO ADORABLE. She has fantastic taste in music and fashion. She's smiling in all of her photos and just looks like such a gosh darn fun person to hang with. I totally have a best friend crush on her. I would give anything to be her new best friend.
Yes that's creepy. Other than her though, I fb stalk people often. It's just fun to check up on their lives and stuff, I guess. |

No, because everyone's profile is private!!
That irritates me. If only people had the common sense to not give their home address to the first creepy person they come across on the internet, then I would be free to stalk whomever I please :) |

^ You have no idea how much it pisses me off when people have private profiles. And no profile picture. Or less than 10 pictures.

I don't have a fb, but back when I actually checked my myspace (and before they had the private option) I would find myself clicking on a friends page, seeing someone who left them a ton of comments and clicking on their profile, and then finding someone else...

 I don't know, I think this is the creepiest thing I've ever been on Facebook. I do occasionally go through people's pictures and such, but here's how I justify it: You're posting your pictures on the freaking internet for people to look at, and you can easily adjust your privacy settings so that people can't see those pictures of you. You have no right to get freaked out or whatever when someone you added as a friend sees them. And plus, once your upload your pictures onto the site, FB owns them, so the pictures don't only belong to you anymore. Mind you, I still like calling people creepers. |

That is if they're dumb enough to keep their profile public.
That's why my profile is private and all my pictures/videos are "only friends". I'm paranoid of stalkers since I stalk myself...lol. |

^ yeah but then you have to scroll through all the comments, click on the "show more" button (which i would rather have separate pages for altogether), find the person, THEN click on the wall-to-wall. as opposed to pages, when you could just easily click on the last page of wall-to-walls *sighs*

You can click "Posts by Others" to see the wall... that might be a bit easier. I think scrolling down to find the person you're looking for is just as annoying as clicking on the next page over and over and over again.
But meh, I guess it's just personal preference. |

^ lol i guess. but it's okay, because i discovered a photo trick! kay, you know when you want to stalk somebody's photos but you CAN'T because the profile of the person who uploaded that album is set on private? WELLLLLLL, if somebody commented on any of the pictures in that album (which means you have to newsfeed stalk), you can click on that comment to take you to the album. then you can view the entire album by clicking on "next" or "previous" photo

Holy shit I feel so creepy. I was looking through an album my friend was tagged in, and recognized this girl who's dating this guy who's friends with this guy I know. The girl I recognized isn't even friends with the friend who was tagged in the album, and they're at school in another state. What the hell, why do I do this?
(After finishing off that album, the boyfriend of that girl is in some of the pictures too. I see him on the bus all the time, so I can legitimately recognize him. I'm not sure whether this makes me more creepy, but it definitely doesn't make me feel less.) |

Yeah I don't stalk people I actually know. They're not interesting to me. Usually I'll "stalk" someone if someone I know talks about them, and I'll check them out to see how they look like, etc. Plus Tung's profile is boring. But I like your new profile pic ^_^

I think it becomes stalking when you go back to the same people consistently and can recognize their friends around campus.
