Do you ever use google...

[Ryoki]

...to subtly interstalk your exes, find out what the hell they are up to in their lives? I do, every once i a while. It's a pretty pathetic and i usually end up feeling like a sneaky ratbastard, but i do it anyway.

Discuss.

[Duhard]

My exes are dead...I don't live in the past...

[busetibi]

... It's a pretty pathetic

sure is.

[Ryoki]

Yep. But that's not the issue, i admit that. I just wanna know if i'm the only one with this strange hobby.

What's also an interesting question is: would i have become a genuine real deal stalker if there were no internets? Maybe... Then again, i'm a lazy fucker generally unwilling to go through trouble to reach my short term goals, so maybe not.

[CaseDogg]

that's hoe shit. you should be fuckin somethin new before the old one is even gone, that way it's like "ok, then leave hoe!"

i just put you up on game.

[busetibi]

wise words from the Dogg

[Ryoki]

Hmm, none of you guys are guilty of this weird shit..? Damn... i guess i'm some kind of freak after all

[Grudge]

My last ex has a very common name, so googling after her only finds a lot of other people with the same name as her.

[seremtan]

so that's a yes then

[Grudge]

yes

[Fender]

Never.

If you want to be really lazy, have Google do it for you.

They'll e-mail you every time they index a new page w/ your search terms.

[mik0rs]

Nah.

My ex has the easiest password to her email account (I saw her typing it when we were together, she knows I know it) but I've never logged in, and I wouldn't in future either.

No good would come me from finding out who someone I still care about is in contact with.

[mjrpes]

Of course... I need proof that they are on a downward spiral.

only got one significant ex that i'm not still in touch with, and googling her name just now turned up buggerall. was sort of hoping to stumble across an obituary.

edit: was spelling her surname wrong. must remember to stop by and kill her the next time i'm in that part of the world.

google owns.

I've checked people I know just out of curiosity, to see what sort of career they went into, or if they married their high school gf/bf. Usually, though, they haven't done anything that warrants an announcement on the internet.

what's the point? you're bound to feel like shit when you discover that there is life after you.

[GoaGrrl]

Never really occurred to me to try until now.. thx!

[Doombrain]

me too, i don't really see the point because i've been the one to end it.

[Tsakali_]

preemptive strike

[Doombrain]

no, just better deals.

[seremtan]

you max her out then transfer your 'balance' to a girl with lower interest?

[R00k]

I never thought about it before.

I just checked, and apparently a hot flame of mine from years ago has had a regular spot on the evening news reporting on..... the blogging nexus she created for that news company of all things. I didn't know because I never watch the evening news.

Funny.

[Grandpa Stu]

never done it. like many have said before, it never occured to me to even try. the ones that i actually still care about i've managed to keep in touch so i wouldn't need to. the others? who gives a shit.

[SOAPboy]

Fuckin casey i swear

[Canidae]

My ex's keep a low profile.
