someone was stalking me last night i was terrified i still am terrified i was in the uni computer cluster where i go to visit the sinister universe going about my pooter-ish business. i started receiving rogue pop-up windows like the ones this system gives when you receive an email. however, these weren't telling me i had mail, someone in the cluster was sending them with cryptic messages on. the first couple just said hi, then they started coming saying 'it took so long to find you' and asking me to open a chat programme so we could talk. i ignored this, and soon came a message 'you look lost'. someone was watching me. he/she/it offered to tell me about their day if i was interested, but the final straw came with 'would you like me to come over so you can at least tell me to get lost?' the person was definitely in the room. i logged out and ran. immediately afterwards i realised that i should have stayed to find out who it was, there were enough people about for me not to be in any danger, and it might just have been friendly. but if it was someone i knew, why couldn't they just send me an emai? i really am scared. if anyone who reads this is the culprit and you meant it in a harmless way, i wasn't amused. please reveal yourself to me. sorry kids, i just had to tell someone who might understand. normal service has now been resumed. stay beautiful, fiona +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
