Sentence: Electronic devices have been a God-send for shy and somewhat bizarre people like Julie. When she gets a crush on some hot guy in her school (like a new one each week...way out of her league), she follows him around and secretly takes pics of him for her to daydream over. These poor guys don't even know they are being eyepawed by a stalker like Julie. Doesn't she watch CSI or Criminal Minds? This is how they eventually takedown people like her when the restraining order is enforced.
