the P.Pole

so i was IM-ing the other day, right? and i come upon this “so-and-so has added you to his/her contact list” message. turns out someone i don’t know, at all, has added me to their list… first thought, “what the hell?” as in “how did they get my email?”. second, i think, “maybe it’s not what it seems… who’d want to stalk me of all people anyway?” as in “i wonder if maybe i know them, but i just forgot…”
so we start talking. now, some of you more worrisome of character out there may have just clucked your tongue or shaken your heads at my seemingly stupid choice. well, i was quite careful at first, as one should be when approaching strangers, especially true concerning identities on the internet.
well we got talking and she tells me that she’s a Christian girl about the same age as me who hails from italia. apparently she studies in Canada… we talked for a long time. i think if she is who she says she is (and i really hope that that is the case) then i’ve just made a very, very profitable, chance encounter, if you get my drift *nudges reader*. anyway, i don’t know about this… i’m trying to play detective and so i have been trying to find even the slightest clues about the authenticity of her remarks about herself and her background. so far everything checks out pretty well… i sense death by bias… all i can say for now is that the girl in her display picture was quite the looker.
