what does celery do?

i got an email from Friendster to update me on some changes to someone's profile.
i don't have a Friendster account. spooky.

the name was not familiar and neither was the face. now who the diddly would have my address AND want to send me things? a mystery was afoot, and since i'm trying to get Nancy Drew's attention, i thought solving it would be the most excellent way.

while the name was unfamiliar to me, the combination of her name, location and other profile information led me to conclude that this was someone from the Christian Chinese circle. i have a few massive lists i could've looked through: softball, ACF, etc. i quickly skimmed the ACF mailing list that gets broadcasted everytime an email is sent (perhaps i should talk to them about bcc-ing); lo and behold, mystery girl's name and email were there. saved me the trouble of checking the softball list, which is in size 6 font; my eyes can squint no further. the curious thing is that the Friendster email was sent to GMail; the UTSC ACF mail goes to my UT account. more investigation required.

one of her pictures looked familiar. i think it was a group shot of another Chinese Christian Fellowship. a few months ago, i made a video slideshow for a big Joint Fellowship event that required some people to send me their fellowship photos. i think she was one of the people who sent me stuff. i cannot verify this as i cleaned out my UT account of those emails a couple of months ago when i switched to a different email client to manage the account.

anyway, i checked with one of my sources (people who know lots of people) and it turns out she went to the same high school that i did (as well as university). of course, in the process of reverse stalking, i've left internet footprints all over the place; i have the subtlety of an e-rhino.
