Stalking?

I like to know what people are up to, even if I rarely speak to them. So, if the opportunity arises, I will do my little bits of research... which I suppose can be considered stalking. But it really can't be that since I really just read. I'm not following anyone down dark alleyways, or even confronting a person online. I'm terrible at confrontation. I just wonder sometimes: what have you been up to since I last saw you? or do you ever think about me?
I do wonder if people (other than the obvious) think about me at random moments of the day. Sometimes I'll randomly think about someone. I just wonder if the same thing occurs for other people. Sometimes I'll think about a certain person for quite a while. Longer than normal... more than a fleeting thought. Sometimes I daydream about people. Or what my life would be like if certain semi-strangers were more present in my life. Sometimes I wonder about people and think "would this person want to be a part of my life?" There are moments that I find a complete stranger who seem as though they have something in common with me and I wonder, "could we ever be best friends?"
I live most of my life in my head. If life was simply just fantasy, I think I would have a fairly fantastic life. But that's just obvious. If my fantasies could come true, my life would be very different, to say the least. I'd most likely have a lot of money and an excessive amount of clothes. I'd probably have the greatest friends and love life. Unfortunately, that's not what life is, so I try and make the most of it.
I wonder if people actually read my journal.
I really just keep it as a record to myself.
I'm sure that other people say the same thing to themselves,
but if I know you and you have one (and there's a possibility that I know it exists) I've probably read it.
I probably know more about you than you think I do.
But I'll never let you know what secrets of yours I've gathered.
I'll just merrily smile while talking to you, because only I know the things that I know...
