So I creep, yeah...
I. am. a creep…. a moderately attractive creep maybe not pedophile-status, but a creep no less.
With the global phenomenon that is facebook, I feel slightly less embarrassed for my behavior…
….but then I feel slightly mortified that a societal construct has allowed me to justify the act of stalking…
….even if it’s harmless and simply out of curiosity, when...
