Well, one could be just longing for company...as is usually my case.

Kudos to the honest stalkers and their stalkees! But isn't the point of stalking supposed to be following someone around, giving that person such paranoia that drives him/her crazy? But then, this is the Downs...being stalked is actually a good thing.

How could you not? You are most likely a stalkee yourself!

Yup, we do all things other way round, sort of Cheshire cats we are - we growl when we are happy and wag our tails in anger, we celebrate our deathdays and to be stalked is a compliment rather, thing to be proud of, not a cause for anxiety . (Just a tiny bit of shameless advertising - we even turn poetry inside out!)

Observation skills re: as I'm both stalkee and a stalker myself, I do refresh who's online page to see what is it that my dead buddies are up to

Doing things the other way around, eh? It is almost as if we enter a whole new planet when logging on to the Barrowdowns. For example, people are actually polite to you here...

But getting back on topic, it does appear as though the stalked become stalkers themselves after being exposed to this sick, new world. Tis like an horrific drug methinks. Well, I for one am proud to say that I am not a stalker. I am, however, gibberingly suspicious of every single one of you.
