Definition of Facebook Creeping from Urban Dictionary:
1.) When you go on facebook to look at people’s profiles and or photos and you go look through their friends and their friends and so on.
2.) An act in which one looks at a friend's/stranger's facebook profile, pictures, and recent activity. Everyone denies their involvement in this act (when in reality most people do it when bored), then in turn accuse someone else of doing it later.
3.) Something we all do.
Facebook creeping is an art form. Like Urban Dictionary says in definition #3, it’s “something we all do”. No denying that. But everyone is different and publicizes their creeping styles in different ways. There are many types of Creepers, every Creep having their own style and personality. Let’s define them further shall we?
The Apparent: People who Creep and Tell. These are the Creepers who stalk the hell out of every one of their so called “friends”. Not only do they Creep, but they make it apparent by “liking” everyone’s status and commenting on their 7th grade BFF’s newest profile picture. These Creepers are my favorite. They’re honest with themselves and everyone around them. These Creeps are ironically the ones that update their status about 27 times a day, making sure to include what they ate for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They make sure to let everyone know that they sat in 35 minutes of traffic on the Expressway too, boo friggin hoo. Most people delete these FB creeps, because their statuses “blow up their newsfeed”. I, however, like to keep the gems. They give me a good laugh every once in awhile. And plus, they must be pretty cool considering they have more “likes” than I do on my wall.
Mr. Wilsons: People who Creep, but play it cool. They are now admitting to themselves, “okay, fine, maybe I do creep a little.” And eventually admit… yeah, I saw your new Mobile Upload of your ugly baby’s first birthday party. Did I “like” it? No (because I didn’t like it). But, I somehow found myself 99 photos deep in the Mupload album before slapping myself and moving on to the next victim. They find themselves stalking their recent crush-of-the-week’s wall and all of a sudden they are all the way back to January of 2007 (we’ve all been there, done that).
However, these Creepers do occasionally “like” and comment on friends statuses and walls. We’re human, and it’s only natural to want to be included in the gossip and not have FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out, use it.). These are the honest creeps, and they account for most of the Facebook community.
Creepers in Denial: These are the ones you gotta look out for. These Creepers have discipline. These are the folks that say they don’t creep and can get away with it because there is no hard evidence.
No “likes”.
No comments.
They don’t even Mupload their pictures from the B’s game that most of us can’t help but want to “share” it with the rest of the world.
Most of these people have their profiles completely private because they KNOW the potential a facebook stalker can have, because they are the best of the best at stalking. They want to know everyone else’s details but would never share their own.
These Creepers are dangerous. If it were real life, these Creepers would be the ones with binoculars looking through a girl’s window while she’s getting changed. No proof of creeping, yet upon asking them a question about a recent activity, they seem to know every detail.
How do these people sleep at night? These creepers hold secrets. Get details. I envy their dedication to the art.
Thank you for writing this lovely blog SEM. Pictures of us that I love:

| Sarah got caught drinking in public this night and when asked how old she was, she stated that she was 21 and the cop let her go! We were 19. This night, Liz and I fell asleep on a couch for several hours in a very crowded house. |
