...I did it again

Dear god, I've done it again. I'm willing to tell you right now, that I have a problem. I have a problem and I want to not have it anymore.

I'm going to tell you what I just did, and I'm going to change the details to protect the innocent.

Recently I met a pretty cute girl in Waterloo. The only thing that she told me about herself is that her name is Lauren and that she's from England. Out of curiosity and boredom, I decided to use UWdir to see what I could find out about her. There were only 2 Laurens at UW, and one had an email from England. From this I know that her name is Lauren Simmons.

In the Community Center, there's a map where you can put a flag on your city. I tagged Thunder Bay, naturally, and I noticed the only city marked in England was Leeds. Now I know her name, and the city she's from. It's starting to get scary.

In a fit of boredom, and unable to sleep from the humidity, I used the dark tool known a Google to stalk what will undoubtedly be another poor victim of my desire. First I search for "Lauren Simmons". Too many results. I try "Lauren Simmons" Leeds. Bingo. Now I know that she's interested in photography. Not only that, but I find her email address pinned to the page as well. I should have stopped there.

Of course, I slip the email address into the enticing Google text box. The first result brings me to her own webpage. She's a very good webdesigner, might I add. Being this far, I click on the "About Me" section of the site. Now I have far too many topics to bring up in conversation that I know she'll be interested in. But that's still not enough for me...I know there's more...yes. There it is. A link to her LiveJournal. I know that I should leave her LJ to be read only by those who are invited, but I've already gone this far, dammit, how could I leave now? Unfortunately there is no mention of me in there, but that's probably much better for me. If there were, I would mull over it for days.

Then I thought...I wonder how many people have gotten to this page through google? Knowing my first name alone doesn't seem to yeild anything with both thunder bay and waterloo, but "Kevin Jurcik" puts my blogger profile front and center. Honestly, I hope she, for some reason, decides to google me. I hope she reads my whole blog, including this post. At least then we'd have something in common.
