Argh. I hate it when people think I focus all my energy on finding out what's going on with their lives. I guess this kind of relates to the post below--I know so much about people because no one at school knows how to keep their damned mouth shut. I have very good hearing (comes with being paranoid), and it's not like I can just turn it off, so if you aren't whispering, guess what--I'm going to hear you. Do I care what you're saying? Unless it involves me or someone/something I care about, no. Regardless though I'm still going to hear you. People need to learn not to have private talks in public places, christ, especially in a fucking high school.
I also know things because my brother is a gossip-monger. He tells me everything. Do I tell anyone what he says to me? No, because I know how to keep my damn mouth shut. But regardless (again), I still know things. About everyone. Not because I seek out information, it just comes to me through people talking and Bryan's gossip.
I'm a little more nosy when it comes to Internet, I admit. I track a lot of blogs, as you all noticed, but then, these are mostly all people who link/have linked to Kurai at one time or another. I'm naturally curious about visitors to my site. Many of them become my friends. I keep track of them, and sometimes I'll read things from their friends, and their friends, and their friends, and you know, I get around.
I only get pissed off when people say something stupid, clearly thinking I won't see it, and they LINK to me. WHAT? If you wanted me to see it, then yeah, but when you go off about how this is 'private' or whatever and yet you link me when you talk about me--you think I won't see it? That's just plain stupidity, folks. I stumble easily across things people say about me (and about my friends) without being linked, I'm definitely going to find your ass if you link me.
