You end up with some really bad humor and silly memes otherwise. And this my online friends… is why I write the 365 posts after I’ve had coffee and not before I’ve had coffee. So maybe since the word doesn’t really exist outside Oxford, we’ll start saying celery instead of stalkery. And the picture I included above hints at celery. That celery is stalking the poor Golden puppy… help him please!įor a minor bit of humor, the word stalkery reminds me of the word celery. Become the stalker instead of the stalked. And if you don’t want to talk to anyone but instead simply just read what’s happening to others, then create a fake name and don’t have any connection to your real identity. Isn’t that the point? If you’re on all the apps, you want to chat with other people. All that information they know about me… On another hand, so what? If I’m posting a message on one site, who cares if someone finds it on another site and starts following me. People can legitimately stalk you on social media! On one hand, I find it a bit alarming. I’ve previously mentioned all the platforms I use, so no need to duplicate efforts however, when you put yourself out there on 1 or 2 of them, you suddenly receive all the links and suggestions indicating “you’re friends with X on site Y, here they are on our site.” And sometimes I think to myself… there’s an alien behind all these computers laughing at us while it collects every bit of information to eventually use against us! Despite coming from a technology background and finding all of these tools quite valuable, it certainly makes me wonder when enough is enough. Which is what’s on my mind this morning… stalking by way of social media, in respect to how much information you actually post about yourself on each of the different websites or apps. And at the source of it all is social media! If you’ve never watched it, multiple stalkers torture a group of girls over a six year period to the point where you almost want to lose your own mind. Unless I’d get a little confused as to who was stalking who, what the purpose of it all was, and how to safely exit the game… not unlike how it happened on the TV show Pretty Little Liars - all too frequently. I myself in reality do not want a stalker, but in my head, it might be kind of fun to stalk the stalker in return. If you’re interpreting the excess attention as a wonderful, loving and caring gesture from a person whom you don’t know very well, you might need to spend time talking through those feelings with someone else (other than said stalker), as it’s probably not healthy. It seems destined for the 365 Word to be stalkery today, so let’s just go with it, shall we? But apparently I do not need to fix it when Oxford says it’s legal - the spelling of the word, not the act of stalking… don’t get those two things confused! Then I searched for an image… and it’s really a true statement, people will put pictures up of EVERYTHING they do on the Internet. Yet, it’s got the wavy red line underneath it in Word and WordPress, telling me to fix my stupid spelling error. But it’s a real word in the Oxford English dictionary. As I thought about the 365 Daily Challenge word, for the pure fun of it, I searched the word ‘stalkery’ expecting nothing to return. It’s about a serial stalker who will scare the > out of you, but if you’re like me, you’ll fall in love with him and dream about… well, let’s just stop there. Review will be posted later today or tomorrow. I finished reading the book Hidden Bodies by Caroline Kepnes last night before bed. Stalkery: characterized by or displaying an obsessive and inappropriate or unwelcome interest in someone
