Introduction

So last summer my friends and I went to the water slides and took pictures of each other and of course then we shared them. Then they got around to other people, though, and it was really bad. I learned about being more careful with my photographs and making sure my friends who take my picture are careful too. Here are some blogs I wrote about it when it happened. They show you the whole thing.

6:36pm August 24

So today Heather and Bri and i spent the whole day at the waterslides and had a total blast. omg my friends are the best i bet we didn't stop laughing the whole time. bri said we should set a new record for how many crazy pictures we could take while we were there and so i took a bunch right in the car and heather was letter her hair fly out the window and pretending like she was being sucked away.

then the best ones were later on though on the slides. we had another contest (of course) to see who could do the craziest stunt on the way into the pool at the end of the slide. i thought mine was the best when i tucked my legs in and rolled on to my side to make it look like i was a little cat or something. but no one got a good picture of it til after i fell in the water. i got the greatest picture ever though, bri was giving two peace signs and blowing a kiss right when she hit the water. so its great. you should look at my pics and check it out.

ok so bri's parents are totally freaking out. they saw bri looking at heathers pictures of our trip to the waterslides and lost it. then her dad was basically screaming about how could you put pictures of yourself in a bathing suit on the internet? bri was totally i didn't put them up heather did. so she says her dads for sure going to talk to my parents and heathers soon. idk what my parents will do but i hope its not to bad.

well heathers parents are way madder than mine about the pictures of the waterslides. i always have my settings to private so my mom was like well as long as your set to private you should be fine right? i said yeah so at least i'm not in trouble or anything.

omg this is gross i basically have my own stalker now. so heathers parents called their friend and had him come and look at their computer cuz they don't get computers at all. then he said heathers settings were totally not private and so all the pictures heather was putting up anybody could see and lots of people have been looking at them. so at first i thought who cares? the pictures are just us fooling around but then he sent copies of the pictures to my parents and said how many times they were viewed. there is one shot of me sticking my tongue at heather when she was taking the picture and its been seen more than 1000 times. 1000! that is so freaky creepy. he said they got viewed alot but they also got downloaded and that means my picture is on some peoples computer. who has been looking at me in my bathing suit? its not like i'm the only person on the internet with a bathing suit on. why would someone be saving my picture? but even though everyone's doing it i could be on some creepy creepers computer. this is so gross idk what to do.

6:44pm September 8

so i am taking a bebo break right now cuz i feel like i've got my own stalker. my profile is private but my name was in the comments from friends who said i was funny. and i commented lots in other pictures so my name was on heathers pages. my parents said i could still use it if i want cuz i didn't have my last name on anything and since heather took all the pictures down and finally made her profile private. seriously heather why did you have that as public? what were you doing? i have been so mad at heather but she didn't do it to be mean or anything so we'll be ok she's still the greatest friend eva and i luv her so much. just no more pictures of us at the water park anymore.

Don't believe it? See for yourself:
