The Trials and Tribulations of life as a Heather

I always thought of myself as being a rather curious person meaning, I like to research things until I find the answer to the problem or question I had in mind.  i pointed this trait out to my housemate, Will, and he keeps insisting that this is a sign of my sketchiness. 

An example:

So I checked out this guy’s friendster website the other day because I was curious to see what he’s been up to. I check out a lot of my old friend’s websites to see what they’ve been up to.  At school we call this networking.  And yeah, I could’ve sent him an email and simply asked, but seeing that I haven’t talked to him in about a year, a random email seemed a bit inappropriate and a quick peak at his friendster website seemed harmless.  Or so you would think.

So now friendster has this great feature of posting your picture on people’s websites that you’ve visited.  And yeah, you can turn off this feature but then you can’t see who has visited your website. (stupid that the on/off trigger works both ways) I relayed this story to Will and he said that this was definitely a sign of my sketchiness.  (I also have this habit of walking softly and appearing out of nowhere which I think adds to his perceived sketchiness of me because he thinks that I’m a lurker. 15 years of ballet training has taught me to be light on my feet…)  I think that being curious about people you used to know years ago is a sign of simply harmless curiousity and not sketchiness. 

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
