calling all stalkers!

ok i know this is a long shot but i thought it would be cool if i could talk to someone who has actually been a stalker or is still presently stalking someone...celebrity or not. its for my research project on stalkers and fandom and celebrities who have been stalked. anyway...if you are a stalker or have been stalked please reply to this thread. maybe you know someone who has been stalked...how it effected them or maybe your friend stalks people as a hobby. either way please post back if you have any info. ill be back with an actual questionnaire later.

I think you should clarify thats its harmless stalkers you want to question yes? And not the terrifying hide-in-ya-wardrobe-atack-you-while-you-sleep kind...

I'm no stalker.

I do, on occasion, spend nights standing in the bushes outside the bedroom window of women I have developed an intense but totally unrequited love for from afar (well, as afar as their bushes).

But I'm no stalker.



Seriously though, check out former Kids in the Hall-er Bruce McCulloch's album Shame-Based Man. It has a great and very funny song about a stalker meeting the object of his adoration, titled simply "Stalking".

It is funny, some women like to be stalked. I mean even by the scary type...wonder why?
I have been stalked before, but I didnt like it and I had to get a restraining order....seriously. It sucked.

oh no i want to talk to all degrees of stalkers. id love to be able to talk to a major one. do you think if i wrote to a prison i could get an interview?

O...K...pretty creepy, but yeah i dont see why not? Youll have to get some address's though, and they may not reply before your deadline, but give it a go! might be quite interesting...and creepy.

I think you can actually... I have heard of people doing this for school projects...

i wish i was better organised. dont think id be able to arrange it before the 26th may. thats when my project has to be done by. might give it a go though.

You might get stalked.

Exactly, when you actively seek out stalkers.

Stalking the stalker you could say....

well it would be handy to have first hand experience. no im kidding...id rather see what its like to be the stalker than to be the stalkeee.

Be that as it may, do you really think anyone's just going to put their hand up here on MoFo and admit to being a stalker?

You're asking the wrong type of "phile," Darling.
