In Which My Mad Internet Sleuthing Skillz Come in Handy

I was scrolling through Twitter when I saw a photograph from an article in a local paper.

AWKWARD MORMON GIRL: I know those people!!!

That's what I exclaimed, though it technically wasn't true. I only knew one of the people. Which also technically wasn't true. I didn't know him...I'd just Internet stalked him.

Let me explain. A few years ago, I regularly read an anonymous LDS dating blog. I was curious about the authors, so I did some Internet sleuthing on one of them. And let me tell you, I gots some mad Internet sleuthing skillz. I figured out this girl's true identity, and I figured out the identity of her most infamous ex-boyfriend.

I won't explain what made him so infamous, but suffice it to say that after the blog author broke up with him, she mentioned that he married a teenager. (Which, come to think of it, may be enough in itself to cause infamy. But I digress.) I found this man and his teenage bride on Facebook, and sometimes when I'm bored I look in on them.

Anyway. They were in the paper. And apparently I've stalked them enough times that I recognized them immediately. So coooooool.
