Before, I was commenting on 'stalker-ish' behaviour.  I was referencing
someone hanging out at Mugglenet's IRC, spotting another chatter one
thought *might* be JKR, privately messaging them, and then requesting
their IP address so this person can figure out the other chatter's
internet service and location.

Personally, I'd be... well, not a happy camper.

You may or may not have seen fandom_wank.  Some of it is legit wanky
behaviour.

If you're questioning your mentality, then Heidi of FA gives new
definition to 'committed'--if you catch my drift.  I remember seeing her
reference hours logged in and having to deal with (IMO, not hers)
nitwits... like me. :-)

As to my obsession, a friend was talking about her Amazon.com wishlist and
I said I never had one but I do have a wishlist:
1) Win the lottery $$$.
2) Win the lottery $$$.
3) Win the lottery $$$.
4) Ask how the *hell* Daniel Radcliffe has such nice skin but I suspect it
has to do with genetics (I'm SOL there) and $$$.
5) Win the lottery $$$ cha-ching!

I don't ask for much in life.  Would be nice if my six-legged roommates
cough up some money... but they don't.
