Facebook Stalking

Alright, I know what you're thinking. "Molly that's creepy." Don't give me that most of you facebook stalk too. Anyways I prefer the term Investigate. That's what I'm doing, I'm investigating someone to satisfy my curiosity. We can even call it research. Yeah, research. I can imagine myself telling my best friend that I researched someone new I met. Actually those words have probably escaped my mouth. The following are things to consider while facebook stalking:
 1. Where are you? Don't facebook stalk in a public place, unless you want people to judge you. If you must facebook stalk in public (like if you didn't have internet in your apartment for a month...) make sure your back is against a wall and there's no one in the immediate vicinity. This serves two purposes 1. You are less likely to be caught in the act of stalking someone and 2. no one can sneak up on you and scare you because you are too busy focusing intently on your computer screen.
2. Are you facebook friends with the person you are stalking? If you are, this is entirely more acceptable than say finding someone on facebook who you have once met briefly.
3. Now, if you are stalking someone you don't really know, do you know their last name? It can be hard to find someone without a last name. This is where mutual friends come in handy. Looking through a friend's list of friends is a quick way to find the person you're trying to stalk.

And that my friends is how you facebook stalk.
