Do you ever compulsively check someone's journal....

do you ever compulsively check someone's journal...

..but you don't know them and you don't ever write them cause they just seem to witty/intelligent/beautiful and you can't think of anything that you could possibly say that would interest them.... Not neccessarily a crush just an admiration, or am I the only pathetic nerdling who has ever done this?

I'm not sure that I would define it as compusive... but yes, yes I do.

Yes I do. I do this with a couple people. Sometimes I even type stuff in like I am going to submit it, but then I erase it.

who?

you mean besides mine?

I do, and I say nothing because I am afraid they will think I am crazy

I do that too! with the typing and the....er... I just stop now, shouldn't I?

i read this girls live journal everyday for a while because she was stalkign me or something, its like every entry talked about me and it was scary as shit....

why bother worrying about it? gods if i can make a big an asshole of myself as i do in public, why am i gonna worry about someone i'm never gonna meet?

I compulsively read all of Doc H's comments, but everytime I see him I am just too awed to say anything. It's like this weird little thing I can't get past. Maybe he can chime in here and explain it from his point of view.

One word: Dia.

Oh, well compulsively? No, because that would seem mad. Mad? Mad I am not, Not I, no, never. I? Not mad.

I complusively check this slut's journal...the girl who slept with my boyfriend. UGH. She was my bestfriend, we met through livejournal. She's got all these fucking boys she 'loves', just like she 'loved' my boyfriend. It's rather entertaining to read - plus I like to read if she talks about me. Kind of paranoia maybe...because I'm sure she would relish the chance to write anything about my boyfriend and I (conversations she may have had, memories, thoughts, etc.) I donno...it's just entertaining to read.

I am a compulsive journal reader because it is like a little insight into people's minds. It is my favorite hobby. I consequently feel like I sorta know these people when I have never spoken with them via written word or spoken word. I just love the journal and its stalkerish ways. Sometimes I do become entranced with the persona a person displays and will find myself checking it for more tasty wordy morsels.

I always check mine.

-X

Someone wrote to me once (from live journal) who said that they were so addicted to reading my entries that they were beginning to lose sleep because they HAD to refresh it and check it every hour "just in case".

They went on to say that they wanted to get to know me, that they spend most days at work waiting for my posts, and asked all kinds of messed up questions about the most personal things. What kind of deodorant I used, what my mouth tasted like, what I smelled like when I woke up in the morning, what my pee smelled like. Creepy ass stuff like that.

Obviously, I was a teensy bit freaked out about it. I haven't heard from them since I made it "friends only" but.. man.. that shit is deep. Obsession is a freaky, freaky thing.

I can't say that I've ever found a jounral's writing-style intimidating.

I compulsively check Eve's journal to see whats up with her that she hasn't voiced in reality and what hateful observations she has made for the day.

But I do know her.

And I do have a crush on her.

I'm intimidated by most of Dia's journal entries. They're usually so eloquent that whenever I try to respond feels like,"Gosh Dia. You sure do write perty. You're so cool." I usually feel pretty good about everybody else, just not when trying to respond to Dia's journal. By now she's probably convinced I'm either crazy, retarded, or both.

Just about all the time for me... it's a wonder I make any comments at all.

it is a very interesting thing, the commenting of ones journal. i must admit that there are a few people that i am intimidated to respond to, but at the same time it all stems from the mood that i am in. strange that others seem to feel the same thing, almost like we are all kindof connected in some strange sort of fashion.

I used to, then I stopped.

yes exactly
