An elaborate story

finding emo · Post by **finding emo** » 11/7/2004, 2:21 pm

cynicalprincessx: talk
Random Like Me: i dont know what to talk to you about.
Random Like Me: i am talking to matt. and i am telling him stuff. because he has given me a reason to put a lot of trust in him because he wont go around bashing me when he knows i have a lot of problems within myself.
cynicalprincessx: I dont want to bash you either, i have no reason to, you never stole from me or did anything to hurt me
Random Like Me: i really dont want to talk if this is just going to lead to you yelling at me for not telling the truth, when i have.
cynicalprincessx: I just want to know why
Random Like Me: and i wish i knew the reason why.
Random Like Me: but i dont either.
cynicalprincessx: Who is the girl in the pictures?
Random Like Me: i keep telling you...a girl that i used to be good friends with. the two of us used to post stuff together. the election picture is old, all of the pictures are old.
cynicalprincessx: Did she really have cancer?
Random Like Me: she did, but not until a month later.
Random Like Me: she got it in december of last year. and died from it in late august.
cynicalprincessx: Did she know what you were doing?
Random Like Me: she did it with me, which i've told matt about.
Random Like Me: there are bits of us in both of that. the part about my father...was the part about my father.
Random Like Me: and the part about cancer was hers. together, we both posted stuff to share our perspectives. it was wrong, i know.
cynicalprincessx: But if she died, why did you keep it up?
Random Like Me: because i really didn't want people to know that she died. and part of me didn't want to let her die. i guess.
Random Like Me: that sounds twisted enough.
cynicalprincessx: I can understand that
cynicalprincessx: Not wanting to let someone die
Random Like Me: and then i thought that letting whoever we created die, was letting her die altogether...when from being with her, she still had so many thoughts to share that she never got a chance to.
cynicalprincessx: Yeah
cynicalprincessx: Theres one part i dont understand
cynicalprincessx: Why did you post other peoples work on your real livejournal
Random Like Me: that i have no clue.
Random Like Me: its just something you do because you can??
Random Like Me: i dont really know
cynicalprincessx: Did you show the work to the teacher or whoever
Random Like Me: nope, i just said that.
Random Like Me: because i could.
cynicalprincessx: Do you regret it?
Random Like Me: of course i do.
Random Like Me: wouldnt you if you really made some people angry and offended over something you really didnt mean to do?
cynicalprincessx: Yeah
cynicalprincessx: but did it ever ocurr to you that plagirasim would be something that would anger people?
Random Like Me: i honestly thought no one would ever know.
Random Like Me: and you know everyone does stuff when they know they wont get caught.
cynicalprincessx: Yeah.
Random Like Me: we all do that.
cynicalprincessx: Did you actually publish anything?
Random Like Me: nope
Random Like Me: well i published something i wrote once... but it was about a story i wrote from the second person.
cynicalprincessx: But was it yours?
Random Like Me: yes
Random Like Me: completely mine.
Random Like Me: i promise that, although i have no idea where the story got to.
Random Like Me: who is this anyway.
cynicalprincessx: A random CMer
cynicalprincessx: No one special
Random Like Me: yes. i really just want people to leave me alone, so i can learn from my mistakes.
Random Like Me: i dont want people iming me anymore to tell me how wrong i am. because i already know that.
cynicalprincessx: I havent said that at all
cynicalprincessx: I'm just kindof bewildered by the whole affair
Random Like Me: most people have. which is kind of why im sick of getting ims from people.
Random Like Me: but there is really nothing else i can explain.
cynicalprincessx: I see
Random Like Me: i really just want to be left alone.
cynicalprincessx: Are you quitting the CM?
Random Like Me: yes.
Random Like Me: i am quitting everything of the sort.
cynicalprincessx: I see
cynicalprincessx: Who was Cain?
Random Like Me: her boyfriend. he was real nice.
cynicalprincessx: Why did Cain morph?
Random Like Me: he doesnt think he will ever date again, which is kind of sad.
Random Like Me: cain at first was my boyfriend...and then her boyfriend. we never shared his real name.
Random Like Me: he first one is Alex, the second one Stryker. we were like "ehhh wahtever." haha
cynicalprincessx: So it was two different people but you used the alias "Cain" for both of them?
Random Like Me: yes
Random Like Me: because we never really wanted to share their names.
Random Like Me: do you think people will ever just leave me alone. that is all i am asking for.
cynicalprincessx: Well, i think that alot of people are very very very upset
cynicalprincessx: Especially if you took their poems and thoughts
Random Like Me: and they have a reason to be so
Random Like Me: but at the same time, i deleted everything to undo what i could do.
Random Like Me: and then i try to just be like "look you leave me alone, i leave you alone."
Random Like Me: but no one will listen to that.
Random Like Me: people doing anything to me wont change how they feel upset.
cynicalprincessx: But it might let them feel a release
Random Like Me: i really dont think it will
cynicalprincessx: Do you not think they're entitled?
Random Like Me: they're entitled
Random Like Me: but at the same time...cant they do it privately to me
Random Like Me: but they have to let everyone aware of my aim sn, my freaking student email.
Random Like Me: that is the wrong way to go about doing this.
cynicalprincessx: Well some people wanted to post your phone number and adress
Random Like Me: whoa thats real nice.
cynicalprincessx: They wont.
cynicalprincessx: I dont think thats right.
cynicalprincessx: It wasnt very nice to string alot of decent people on and on for 2.5 years though
cynicalprincessx: Are you telling the truth about the pictures of "Val"?
Random Like Me: i am.
cynicalprincessx: So they are all of your friend who died of cancer in august of 2004?
Random Like Me: yes.
cynicalprincessx: Do you swear to god?
cynicalprincessx: because what is bothering alot of people is the fact that the girl could be anywhere if you're lying.
cynicalprincessx: I think alot of people would leave you alone, if they just knew who the real girl was
Random Like Me: i am swearing to God
cynicalprincessx: Can you give any proof?
Random Like Me: i really cant.
Random Like Me: her obituary used to be online. but here they delete them after a month or two.

Wow. I thought you would have wanted that kept between you and I. I dont think people are quite ready to let it go.

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 11/7/2004, 2:26 pm

What I'd like to know is why you still carried on with this thing after your friend died. Why not give it up? Wasn't it kind of hard to continue on with that knowing that you were pretending to be your dead friend?

I just find it hard to understand...

finding emo · Post by **finding emo** » 11/7/2004, 2:27 pm

I don't know.

But there you have it.

I would have just kept it between us...had I felt that other people didn't need to hear it.

Like I said... if you want to talk to me... talk to ME. but there are other ways for you to accomplish this.

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 11/7/2004, 2:30 pm

I am talking to you.

You have to understand that it's going to be hard for anyone to believe your story, and that "I don't know" doesn't exactly give a lot of information to back up what you say.

but there are other ways for you to accomplish this.

To accomplish what?

I'd have to agree with that.

All this stuff about your dead friend aside (you'll excuse me if I don't take your word on that, given your track record and your lack of proof), I want you to explain to me, Michelle, why you stole my work numerous times and posted it as your own. I'm not the only person you did this to. I am hurt, I am angry, and I am disgusted. And I want some answers.

You may not know this, but everything posted in a public forum on the internet is copyrighted to the poster. It is illegal to plagiarize it and claim it as your own. More than that, it's immoral. You took credit for and accepted praise for my work. You didn't just post it without comment; on several occasions you actively claimed to have written or produced it yourself. I am disgusted.

Taking it down does not make it okay. This had been going on for almost a year, as far as I know. Not only do I want an apology, I want an explanation. There's no excuse for this, but I want to know what you were thinking.

Henrietta · Post by **Henrietta** » 11/7/2004, 3:38 pm

You want to be left alone? I'm sorry, but you don't go around posting this stuff ALL OVER the internet and say you want to be left alone. It's as simple as that.

Lando · Post by **Lando** » 11/7/2004, 4:36 pm

First of all I'd like to say that whoever the "Val" girl is in the pics. Is still hot enough that I'd do her. If she's dead. Then I apologize, however, if that's what she looked like when being a Kerry supporter, then I hope when I get cancer, I look that good too. Nonetheless she's still do-able.

Now, I also have a confession to make. I'm actually Michelle. I know I know, I lied to all of you and it was wrong. I made up Lando and Val. Lando cause he's super hot and same with Val. They're like the race of super humans!

Oh yeah I mean come on, it makes sense, my Val user on here was only part of one CLUB. Lando's! That's right. It's because I'm totally kick ass and made two more kick ass people. Didn't you ever wonder why Lando and Val were only in the LANDO club???

Okay, but seriously for a moment. This is the greatest thing to happen since... well... Okay it's not "great" I take it back, because a lot of people's personal stuff has been stolen from them. I'll use the word entertaining. I haven't been this entertained since I lost my mod status at the CM way back in the '70s.

I'd also like to comment on how appropriate the AOL name is: RANDOM LIKE ME

It's genius!!! I guess what I'm trying to say is, to put this much work into a fake persona/identity is a lot of work and even if the loose ends are all tied up and they are believable or unbelievible it may be, it's something where even if it is still a lie, it had it's strong points and weak points. Which makes me think it was intertwined with both fact of someone's real life and fiction as well as stuff from other people's lives. Because of how many weak points there are, to me it seems like it was created like that with preventable flaws so that one day, they would be caught. If that's untrue, then it would be really diappointing, because all that work has to now be erased and now a new persona has to be created, new online life all together, which will obviously be more work than continuing on one that's already been established.

Anyway, I've laughed, cried (for those who have been used...hey maybe some of my stuff has been used!!! Wait a sec... I never wrote anything worthwhile in my life... Does what I'm saying even make any sense!? I like toquitos...) and I've wondered just how deep the rabbit hole goes. I'd LOVE to uncover even more about this and hope that there's even more personas out there that have been created. It would just be cool to read about. Like a really good crazy book, or movie.

I know a lot of people just want it to stop, with good reason I might add, but everyone has their reasons for doing something. Whether it's being insane, bored, screwed up, or if most of what's been revealed is true, (WHICH IS WAY MORE BORING) than I had hoped. I mean come on, who wants to hear about a hot dead girl who's friends with the girl, and together they collaborated and created this fantasy identity. That's WAY more of a shitty ending than say, the hot girl in the pics being a pornstar or still alive or if she were a girl that Michelle never knew and found online. That would be waaaay cooler. Hell if she was a hermaphrodite, I'd get way more stuff to read about then!

Personally, I hope that Michelle's revelations about the dead hot friend, the fake named bfs, the rape, the cancer etc... are all really a lie and that there's more here. I bet that half of those are true, half are fake. Like maybe if it insanity, perhaps they have a Cancer or Rape fetish!!!! Now that's effed up! I'd rather have a tuna fish fetish. Sometimes I rub canned tuna fish all over my naked body. Well, once I remove it from the can.... Ouch... I've learned my lesson the first time, those cans can be sharp!!!

Anyway, I've said my peace and am thoroughly entertained, like a thoroughbred.

Oh yeah and by the way Michelle (Can I call ya Michy?), if the hot dead chick is still alive, not married, cancer free, and you do actually know her can I have her phone number!?

Hell even if she is married, can I still have it?

Can I have rights to this whole thing? I'd make it into a movie, (no not a porno, I'll save that for the sequel)

I love you Lando. With a burning love in my loins.

that's funny, i was thinking of the alan thing too. did anyone tell him about this yet? this is so weird, like i talked to "her" or "them" or whatever online before. i feel like those people in scary movies who sleep with the guy only to find out later that they were the killer. i mean, except different.

Did she compliment her own shit? :wtf:

Lando · Post by **Lando** » 11/7/2004, 5:03 pm

Well DUH you just told us it would be you, everyone would know. That so deserves a BANNING. Someone ban her. Seriously. I found her out almost immediately. That wasn't clever at all! I mean, if you do a good job, then alright cool, no banning, but it took me 43.65 seconds to figure out your plan!
