Rumors Of My Stalking Tendencies Have Been Greatly/Mildly Exaggerated

Ugly rumors get started from time to time--and one of those rumors that got started sometime back here in Cyberspace was that I am a stalker.

This really hurt at the time, but I did with this problem what Paul McCartney advised Julian Lennon to do re: the impending divorce of his parents: "Take a sad song and make it better."

So, I even make jokes at my own expense about this when the occasion calls for it.

I don't mind being referred to as a stalker in a lighthearted way--in fact, it's rather amusing--but I don't like having it said when it's being done in a serious and hurtful way.

Recently, I came across this blog entry (not here) where I was being referred to as a stalker, and my name was being used. Other hurtful things were being said as well.

So, managing to be polite, I left a short comment for them (i.e. the writer of the blog entry and those who had joined in on the "fun").

The entry was removed by the instigator not long afterwards.

If my name were going to become Google-able in association to my being a stalker, I might as well have my side of the story up for whatever readers might stumble across it.

Then, it occurred to me that who knows where this ugly rumor might be circulating, and it could make a difference in my life somewhere down the pike--a difference that wouldn't be a good one.

Therefore, I decided to make up a kind of information sheet that I would put around at different places that will, hopefully, answer any questions/concerns of others, so here it is...

I'm glad to have the information about me so that I could write a rebuttal of sorts for the simple reason that this bull goes out all over Cyberspace. Put enough of those stalker rumors out there and, if I happened to request a DJ to play Misty for me, he would probably push his panic button before he dropped dead of a heart-attack. Can't put DJs in mortal danger, can we? LOL

First off, I can confess to being a stalker in a sense if that means that I'm persistent. However, I don't deal with knives (except for safe and legal purposes), guns, axes, etc. A love interest could be in the same room with me indefinitely making out with the competition, and the worst that might come of it is that I might start crying.

Not exactly life-threatening--to them, anyway. More of a chance that I might die of a broken heart--and not that much of a chance of this happening, either, as I would have made up my mind to try to be happy for them.

So let me put down a phrase or two here:

Stalking tendencies of Ainsley Jo Phillips

Is Ainsley Jo Phillips a stalker?

Thanks for your space! Now, it won't be long before this will show up in a Google search should somebody be looking me up to see if those rumors about my being a stalker are true.

In short--Ainsley Jo Phillips is a confessed stalker but not a dangerous one. Ainsley Jo Phillips has tenacity and doesn't give up easily. She has inherited the Phillips genes for being stubborn and doesn't necessarily see this as bad. Ainsley Jo Phillips CAN be a pest, but she tries not to be unless absolutely necessary!

Hmmmmm...Ainsley Jo Phillips likes what she wrote, so she's going to make some copies of this...That's all for now except that Ainsley Jo Phillips is part Irish and has the gift of gab (or talks too much, depending on your perspective).
