The Wide World of Stalking

Being told your assignment is to stalk one of your classmates is an odd mixture of amusement and curiosity. What would someone find if someone searched 'Meredith Gragg'? Granted, there's nothing bad to really be found about me, it's more the personal details someone could find if they were determined enough. As predicted, the stalking came up with some pretty crazy things. I had Amanda, and I found out her past work history, her parents' names, her brother's name, home phone number, where her parents worked, and all kinds of crazy things like that. The weirdest thing that she found out about me that I wouldn't have thought of is my theatre resume posted on this awards site, as well as my time spent in France, down to the exact dates, and the fact that my aunt got married like two months ago. A lot of this information was found out without the use of Facebook, just the sheer amount of crap that Google has to offer a determined stalker. I thought it was a pretty crazy thing to see first hand, just how much of yourself is on the internet.
