Not that it matters all too much on this site though anyone on the internet can see all of this always keep that in mind.

Well you don't know my real name and where I live or what school I go to so it's not terribly revealing.

Unless you were a hacker....

I think I'll edit that post anyway though... (You could edit the quote if you want)

EDIT: I found the name of that really good Korean War movie I saw a while back from the SK's POV. Here's the wikipedia article. The Front Line (Battle of Highlands)

Go ahead and change it then.I usually am general about certain information.I changed your quote you will have to change the original.

Hackers and fishers though they might comb many different sources for information.a good idea if you use Facebook and Twitter is to link that to an e-mail that is not your "official" e-mail.

I read in a Popular Mechanics an article about electronic surveillance/security I found it a bit unnerving to be honest and I am a bit aware of such things anyway.

They described how this kid in Pennsylvania was playing Xbox360 online.This kid must have some how angered an internet troll or in this case Xbox troll.That person managed to hack the other kids Xbox and figured out his real name and address .etc,The hacker then called the police and simulated that he was using a teletype system that a deaf person uses he made it appear that a violent situation was occurring and the cops of course sent SWAT to the Penn. kids house.Scary stuff i can that going poorly at a gun owners home because they of course would think that a home invasion was occurring.

The article was in the January issue of Popular Mechanics there is also a more extensive book with the same name.The two or three page article was very interesting to say the least.

Speaking of all these things makes me think of the book "1984" you should read that book there is also a film with the same name based on the book.

Well...I can be paranoid about certain things sometimes. I've read too many spy novels. I've gone into a room and done the room-scan thing and I've been known to stand in a corner around people I don't know. I've done that in some St. Louis gas stations. Pick a corner in full view of a security camera and no windows behind you and you won't get attacked from behind. If you do get attacked, well, they have it clearly on camera. If it's somewhere local I'll probably have my knife on me but I don't want to have to use it. I mainly carry it as a tool but it's there if I need it. There are some shady people around here. I remember the Civil Air Patrol OPSEC presentation. All the "situational awareness" stuff I already knew...

Everybody is a little paranoid. Everybody is a little crazy. There's just certain things that sometimes you have to watch.

There is a difference between being aware of your surroundings and being paranoid.You want to enjoy your life and be safe at the same time.

If you are paranoid you are one step away from fear which is the polar opposite of situational awareness.People that are afraid make terrible mistakes like harming a person that had no ill intent towards them.

You really have to learn to read body language first and foremost.You can tell if a girl is interested in you by the body language she displays at the same time you can also tell when a person may have ill intent towards you just by their body language.

For example you might see two guys one in a nice suit and one in baggy pants and a sideways hat most people will based on clothing choose to mistrust the latter person.But did they look at the body language the two displayed? Usually not the "gangster" looking person might have displayed neutral or even friendly body language while the man the nice suit displayed hostile language.

At the same time you should always when in public try to display a neutral disposition you do not want to appear hostile and you do not want to appear fearful.

This is true. Most of my paranoia is sarcastic. Like my "Red Dawn" survival plan. In real life, if an invading army makes it to Missouri, I might as well sit down and kiss my ass goodbye.

This girl...I swear she was interested in me... Everyday we'd talk and high-five and what not.

Once again, I'm not too great at describing myself. I suck at talking about myself. It's an every once in a while thing that I actually pick out and avoid certain people. Most of those times, it's somebody I know and I really don't want to be seen by them. There used to be a completely crazy girl in my class that nobody liked...she yelled for me clear across the Walmart and broke into a sprint after me. *Shudder* That was horrible. I don't look hostile in public. I am 6' 3" tall so I may be a little intimidating to shorter people. My natural face and body language isn't hostile.
