No way, **Fionn** - you were my first stalker; and once a stalker, _always_ a stalker. Besides… I’ve grown strangely used to you… Don’t think you’re gettin’ laid off since there’s a new stalker- you two just need to compare notes and double-team me. Uh, so to speak. 😃

I’d like a crushee AND crush-er, please. I bet if you ask **Lindy** very nicely, he’ll fit both bills. 😃

Pff. You don’t even have to ask _at all_. It’s already in the works.

But then, you knew that. 😉

Aw, it only took me a couple of hours, tops. But I can’t reveal trade secrets, you know…

Everyone says that. 😉

So, **Fionn** , when’re we getting together to compare notes? This ‘double-team’ concept intrigues me… 😃

“He used to be _such_ a nice boy,” neighbors said in an interview after the incident. “He didn’t mow his lawn as much as we would’ve liked, but at least he kept the music down.”

“But then, one day… he suddenly turned paranoid. He kept insisting that ‘they’ knew everything about him, that ‘they’ could find him, wherever he went. We tried to convince him that there really wasn’t anyone stalking him, but then he accused _us_ of being in on it!”

His neighbor wiped a tear away and continued, “To tell the truth, I think he kind of got to me… Sometimes I catch sight of these two strange women, sneaking around the area… I wonder what they want?”

Red indicates you are the object of affection.  
Blue indicates that you are the devotee.  
In no particular order:

**Spooje**  
The next time someone brings in free doughnuts at work, do not under any circumstances eat a jelly filled. In fact, a wise one would choose chocolate glaze.

**BobKitty**  
The oracle forcasts very bad things with **lindyhopper** and yourself.  
On 09-03-03 you will meet a woman wearing red. She will change your life for the better.

* * *

**duke**  
The next time you go to a convenience store, you should know that the lady behind the counter has lust in her heart towards you. Proceed with caution. _do not raise her ire_.

**Fionn**  
on 05/25/02 someone will take you out to eat. On your waiter’s birthday, you will recieve VERY good news.

* * *

**Yosemitebabe**  
A strange bald man with a goatee and a black turtleneck driving a beige el camino will enquire about your artwork on 09/18/03. Proceed with caution.  
**Zebra**  
Avoid at all costs, Walmart on thursadys in June. dire consequences will follow if you do not head this,

* * *

**Opalcat**  
When your son goes to the 5th grade, there will be a boy named “James” in his class. remember James - he will loom large in your future as a paramour. Mrs Robinson anyone?

**Islandgirl**  
Despite your moniker, avoid the islands during 2003. Avoid Coconut products as well. Do,however, attend a Jimmy Buffet you will be invited to.

* * *

**Cuate** :  
ay yay yay.  
where to begin?

Did you get your Sam’s card yet?  
if so,  
buy lots of Preperation H.  
you will need it during August.  
In December, you will be invited to Ceilo Vista. You will meet a mysterious man with a checkered shirt and stained pants at Orange Julius.  
when you wake up from your comotose sleep the next day, you will find yourself in a bathtub filled with ice…with your fingernails painted red!

What this means, the oracle has no idea.  
he made that circling motion by his head with one finger,indicating you, and said “coocoo”

Fine, I can understand the circling motions and such and such…but, and I ask this with all due respect, and in the most polite and least offensive way possible…  
Why does the oracle hold such a grudge against my **ASS**?

Puuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…

Throw in a “Do as I say, woman” with just a hint of an accent, and I’m ALL YOURS.

Well, except for the moments when I’m crushing on **Spooje**. But that’s 'cause the Oracle is making me do it…
