I Admit It..

It has taken a lot of courage to write this...

Sure I make jokes about it but really it was to hide my shame...

My shame of admitting...

I am a secret stalker.

I know I know...how could I, of all people, be a stalker?

I despire stalkers. As a victim of several stalking attempts, many I have blogged about right here, how can I be a stalker?

*hangs heads*

It started with a few simple phone calls. A text here and there.

...And then one day...I found myself calling more than the 3 phone calls/day mininum I give myself and others when phone calls are not answered.

It went from two or three a day to two or three every 10 minutes. Me, Queen on Never Leaving Voicemails Because I'm Sure You Saw My Number In The Missed Call Log, was actually leaving voice mails. Each one more frantic than the next. I'm sure he can hear the desperation and longing for answers in my voice. Begging, pleading...menancing threating him to call me back right now. Not right now. But right now.

It got to the point when my frantic texts of "Where are you" and "How come you're not picking up my calls" were sent in rapid succession. Typing so fast sometimes I mispelled words.

And I am a stickler for spelling when it comes to text messages *lol*

*chokes back sob* And I won't even get on the IMs I've sent.

I've taken to lurking around his place of employment, hoping to catch a glimpse of him. Setting my watch to his schedule just so I can "pop up" and see him.

And what was the cause of this stalking? Not a cute smile. Not enchanting conversation. Hell not even the hopes of selling me a dream and I fell for it hook, line and sinker.

It was the fucking tv show "Lost"

My new freaking addiction!

I swear I know I am like years late on hopping on this show. I mean I scoffed hard as hell when I first heard about the premise of the show.

People on a desert island? The hell is this...Gilligan's Island: The New Years or something?

When people chatted aimlessly I ignored it. Sure the stars were in my trashy tabloid magazines but since I didn't watch the show, I didn't really care about them.

Shit they bumped Angelina and Brad off the cover for Matthew Fox?! Are they mad?!

Now I'll admit my tv watching have decreased signficantly over the years. I used to watch tv from sun up to sun down. Nothing but videos, a few tv show scattered here and there and wrestling. I used to be all up on any new show or video that made it's appearance on tv.

I scheduled everything around tv shows. I'll be damned if I miss wrestling on Mondays, Wednesday and Thursday. Me miss a Thursday night Smackdown was a cause of concern back in the day.

Now..I'm lucky if I see a new video in a month and 95% of the shows on tv I have no idea what they're about nor am I interested to find out. Now I know about the stars of these shows for the most part but I couldn't even tell you what the fonts on the title look like.

So sadly I dismissed "Lost". Let 3 complete seasons slip through my nimble fingers.

Until one day...

After a solid two weeks of begging, prodding and threatening...I went to the video store and rented the entire 1st season of "Lost". Initially I was going to watch maybe the 1st DVD just to say I watched it and I didn't like it blah blah blah.

Boy was I wrong...I sat up and watched Discs 1, 2 and 3 before sleep drove me to the bed and even then I was sleepily trying to pop in Disc 4. I mean I didn't get up to use the potty, take a sip or water, answer a phone call...nothing...while the disc was going on.

...that doesn't mean I didn't stalk people though. Every 5 or 10 minutes I was on my phone frantically texting and asking questions. I got a lot of laughs and "watch the show".

Not satisfied with those answers...I stepped my stalking up ten fold. Even now as I"m typing this...best believe every 2 seconds I'm begging for an IM response.

This is so fucking sad...me...stalking a damn co worker over a tv show.

I mean if he would just answer my phone calls this would make it all better but no see I gotta get him on the work phone and do you know he had the nerve to tell them to stop transferring my phone calls to him?!

The very nerve!

I mean...I just wanna love "Lost" 'tis all. Is that so much to ask?

*off to send the 100th text I have sent since 6:07pm*
