Online Stalkers and Illiterate Go-Fishers

Ok so funny story... so I was playing go fish with Nate on yahoo the other day with this other random illiterate person who persisted to hit on me while we were playing. His english was clearly horrible so I asked him if english was his first language. Confused, he said, "yes, y?" and I then asked him if he was American. Again he responded with a "yes". As hard as it was to believe, he told us that he was 18 and that these "two hot blond chicks forced [him] to have a 3 way with him"- I must remind you that this info was completely voluntary... all we wanted to do is play a simple game of go fish... is that so hard??

I was telling this story to my office manager, Cathi, and she asked me if I was afraid of crazy people stalking me online. Thinking back I probably could be stalked because I gave out too much info while in middle school, but I figure that I'm pretty safe now. So I decided to show Cathi how to use AIM and confirmed with her that people could not stalk her when she used it and that "no, random psycho people [could] not talk to her" if she didn't want them to. After setting up an account for her, I got back to my computer and told Nate to IM her, only to hear her freak out and say, "somebody just talked to me!!". Of course I burst out laughing and told her that I told my friend to IM her. Ahhh, good times...
