What's it like to be stalked?

It's not great. For starters, it makes you extra-paranoid: even things that my perpetrators aren't doing can become part of the fabric of their bullshit. The walls aren't that thick at the boarding house, so I can overhear snippets of conversations that sound fishy. They're probably just other people going about their day, but they trip me out. My enemies are definitely exploiting that, - Other than that, I end up wasting at least an hour or two each day reaffirming our position in the negotiations, and the porn torture has become about the Beatles. They're hardly being subtle, so I know it's people from Sony that are messing with me. Paul's building his own case, modelled off my evidence gathering. - The government is on my back about saying we're in solidarity with various countries that are being threatened by the USA. Their people are also rather brazen, as they think that I'm very close to posing a genuine risk to national security. Doesn't help that Paul is involved with pro-Palestine protests. I feel like I'm barely welcome in my own country, and Apple Corps reckon that even the EU is a bit of a stretch regarding gig opportunities. On the plus side, there's increasing support for antiwar positions, so most people aren't looking at me sideways.
