On The Way To The Daily Mirror Blind Item

So, I am cruising through the Daily Mirror website to see if they have a blind item today. They didn't yesterday which sucks, but whatever they have today is bound to be better than the NY Daily News one I posted earlier. Sorry about that, but hey, it is a tradition. Besides I have had lots of crap ones also. Anyway, on the Mirror site and I saw this headline.

Spurned lover sent ex 10,783 text messages in just 65 days

Well I have to read that because I love stalking stories. They really are the best. That would be a great website and a place for future serial killers to meet. Anyway, you can read the whole article here, but here is the gist. So the girl in our story is the stalker. She and her boyfriend (the stalkee) broke up. Within a day or two after the break up our woman was pregnant by another guy, but she thought it was the ex who got her pregnant.

She sent him explicit pictures and videos of herself and a testing kit showing a positive reading. She even left a bottle of urine on his doorstep so he could do his own test. She threatened to hurt herself and sent him bloodstained glass she used to slit her wrists.

There is much more, but the thing that made me stop and read the story were the text messages. Do the math. It works out to about 166 text messages a day, and about 7 per hour. In other words to do what she did you would have to text someone on average every 8 minutes for the entire 65 day period. Now, we know she is nuts, and so this other guy she actually got pregnant with, must have been getting some messages also. I doubt she totally blew him off or anything. Plus there has to be time for sleep, the harassing phone calls, the trips to his house to put the urine on the doorstep, the trips to the drugstore to get the pregnancy tests, and just time to sit and stare into space and imagining your ex as your own again. I will say it again. I love stalker stories. Harmless ones though. No violence please.
