You can't even take a weekend off(line) without something weird happening.
Upon checking my referrers, I found one site by someone I'm quite sure I don't know who claimed they 'lepak'-ed with me one Wednesday night.
Nevermind that I was home with someone watching an SATC marathon while stuffing ourselves with pizza...
What drives people to say these things? The post was somewhat neutral (nothing too slanderous other than the fact that the venue is somewhere I'd never knowingly set foot into), but I can say that I am freaked out by the fact that someone has found it fit to pretend they hung out with me.
I can only imagine that this person thinks that by linking to me, I will drive more hits to his site. Nevermind that it doesn't matter if your blog has 10,000 hits as opposed to 10, but seriously, don't you think this is a tad too freaky?
Update: Paranoia hits. What if there's someone out there pretending to be me and making friends with people I don't know?
Update (latest): He apologised - the reference was metaphoric... Phewh... what a relief! Thank God it wasn't something like this.
Posted by Najah Nasseri at 2004年02月08日 22:01 | TrackBackNajah, a thousand apologies for the entry. I meant it as a joke. Frankly, I thought only my friends would read the entry and they would understand that by the word 'lepak' I meant that I read your blog. The club called 'The Common Room' actually meant literally the common room where students go to do their work, study, surf the net, etc, etc at my uni. I seriously never thought that you would feel offended. Again, I apologies for such a stupid mistake.

No harm done i reckon, but an interesting story nonetheless.
Posted by: Aizuddin Danian at 2004年02月09日 08:40The net can be such a scary place, especially if you lead a public life on it. At least this was relatively mild, with no malice and completely unintentional. It could have been worse. Much worse...
Posted by: jikon at 2004年02月09日 09:40Sony, guess you don't have a blog? Privacy issues in a public world are real, and while this incident is (thankfully) harmless and quite funny actually, there are other scarier things that have happened to other people.
Anyway, your friend Surrey is very talented in his writing to make the Common Room sound more colourful that it is.
