Stalkers, Graveyards and Job hunting

The last few days I'v been getting some weird calls and texts from people asking whose number this is, is this really Lloyd etc. Couldnt figure it out til one of the callers told me they had seen my number on a bebo profile where it was claimed it was the number of an x factor contestant called Lloyd Daniels. Finally tracked down the profile responsible only to realize it was a guy I went to college with hiding behind a fake profile. This is the same guy who was thrown out of college for drunkeness, claiming to have slept with members of staff etc. He also claimed to have slept with half the guys at the college and nearly made me homeless over christmas and he tried to organise some sort of campaign against me at college when we were supposed to be friends. He has a whole network of fake bebo profiles of people he claims are friends, exes, cousins of his – last night I reported every fake profile I know about to bebo as well as the profile that posted my phone number. Contacted the police who cant really do anything at the moment – hes on the brink of a breach of the peace so if he continues I can probably get something done about him but today he can consider himself on his last warning. Don't know why my life seems to attract such odd people. Sitting here watching the news coverage of the Stephen Gately funeral. It's so sad. When I was a kid I was so into him. I had posters of him and thought he had pretty eyes! Feels like a little bit of a innocent time is gone. Last night I saw the most awful article on his death. A restaurant critic called Jan Moir wrote an article hinting that rather than an undiagnosed heart condition it was actually the fact he was a gay man in a civil partnership that killed him. She claimed that healthy men in their 30s don't just go to sleep and never wake up. The Daily Mail was flooded with about 800 comments from people complaining about how offensive the article was and upset people who had lost family and friends through similar circumstances of sudden adult death syndrome. Apparently somany complaints have been filed with PCC that it crashed their website. Doesn't look like the people who should be dealing with it are taking the outcry seriously though. Both Jan Moir and a spokesperson for the PCC have claimed it was part of an orchestrated campaign against her rather than a spontaneous demonstration of disgust by each and every person who has complained. Still looking for a job – got a meeting on Monday with someone to look over my CV and talk about what jobs I can do. Its really hard to get a straight answer out of some employers on whether I can do the job they are advertising with a vision problem. I get that theyr scared of being sued for discrimination but really I just want the information! If they could publish detailed job descriptions with duties that would really help. Been filling my time mostly by being ill – basically if there is a bug or virus out there I will catch it. Spending more time in the Necropolis than I probably should but I do like it there. Gonna see if I can do some more touristy stuff this coming week – havent been to the Burrell Collection which seems daft considering how close it is and Mondays meeting is kinda near the Kelvingrove gallery so might get to see that.
