Stalker DISCOVERED!

So while at a coffee shop with a live band playing, we noticed that the bass player looked crazy young and yet he was drinking wine. Does the coffee shop have a lax policy for performers? Am I old enough that people younger than my age look like they are 12? My friend and I immediately used our skills to find this talented bass player's name to find out more information about him. In the midst of our "investigating" skills on our iPhone/iTouch, the band took a break and the bass player came up and chatted with a person right next to me. This did not deter me. Though I realize it might be slightly ballzy to stalk someone when they are literally in front of you, I was on a mission. Google did not yield the information I was looking for, so I had to go to other resources...facebook. I shortly found him and discovered he was a fellow Marylander. I still couldn't figure out his age from his page, however, so I figured I'd friend him. He's in a band, he's probably used to having groupies. Then, a few minutes later, reality hit me! People have their phones attached to their hips and he could very well get my friend request during his break! Moreover, my profile has my picture on it, so I could be easily detected. One might think it weird for a stalker to reach out to its stalkee, especially after I didn't talk with him after he was right in front of me. As these thoughts were rushing to my head, I noticed he got something from his bass case and gave me a big smile. Mortification filled my face as my friend laughed hysterically at me because I had finally been discovered! The rest of the night made for fun times as I attempted to avoid indescribable stares and my own awkward, natural ignorance. Perhaps this should be another reason why I should go into retirement for stalking.
