November 9 2007: Nadine, the Crazy Stalker
Just in case you had any doubts about whether I’m actually who I say I am (and not a creepy old man or the like), Nadine can vouch for me.
So there I was at work today, just going about doing my job, when suddenly this person walks in and starts talking to me. I blink. Once. Twice. A lightbulb goes off!
“NADINE!” I yell. My realisation of course, was aided by the message she’d sent me the day before on Facebook, asking if I worked at that particular store, because ironically, she used to literally work across the road up till three months ago. The world is a small place.
We talked for about…half an hour? An hour? Long enough for her to successfully procrastinate from doing her assignments, and long enough for me to procrastinate from actually doing what I’m paid to do, and long enough to establish that yes, I’m real, and no, I’m not an old man masquerading as a lusty and busty Asian chick online.
It just goes to show…if you really want to find me, it’s actually quite easy. You know that I work in a maternity wear store, and I’ve mentioned the area where I used to live (where the store is actually located). There really aren’t all that many maternity stores around that particular area…hit all within a kilometre radius of that suburb, and you’ll find me quite easily.
Heck, Nadine the crazy stalker did it. If she can, you can too!

… I suppose I could, if I didn’t live halfway ’round the world. But I’ll keep that in mind the next time I visit Australia. I will also religiously follow your blogs to make sure you don’t change your job till I get there :-)

If I’m ever in Melbourne I’ll make sure to take all of these clues into consideration and stalk you :P

Why the heck would you want to work in a maternity store? x_x But yeah, even if I release my work place to bloggers no one’s going to be coming to find me. :(
Reply: Because…they pay me? :P

You’re not a creepy old man? How disappointing…
I’d like some hardcore blogger stalkerage. But most stalkers would need plane tickets to find me…

That’s it, I’m going to come and find you some time next year. Unless we drag you up to Sydney (did you say road trip? I don’t remember) and Tracey and I act a la infomercial by randomly pointing at your boobs.
With that … rather … random notion aside, maternity store for the win … yes …

Would you scream if I walked into your store?

Maybe you came up with a second identity (Nadine) to support your fraud - I believe you are as real as the mn in the moon :D
If I ever need maternity wear again I hope I am closer to Melbourne!

Okay, when I go to Melbourne I’ll make sure to stop by there! :P As long as you’re still working there of course. Hhaha.
Aww, that seemed like fun.. you and Nadine.

If I walked into the store you should be very worried as I live around the opposite side of the world. :P

Good god, I don’t know what I would do if someone were to randomly pop in where I worked and started talking to me like they knew me. Especially if their reasoning was something like, “UR FROM DA INTERNETZ! :D!” But omg, so cool all the same. That must have been fun to talk about long after you both met. :D

Psht. Rilla’s constant complaining about bloggers not wanting to stalk her is making me want to stalk her even more.
I always knew you were real. It’d just be creepy for me to dream about those boobies if they belonged to some old man. :(
