possibly crossing the line into stalker territory...

...but when a trusted friend sends you a link with no explanation, you open it up, right? And if, when you open up said link, it happens to lead to the the Friendster profile of a writer with whom you're literarily infatuated, you can't just ignore something like that. Right?

You read it, of course.

And you find out that someone thinks, "Tom is 100% grade-A Midwestern man-meat."

And that, my friends, is just too good to pass up.
