This is so, so weird... (long but worth it)

[bohemiandonut]

I'm not sure if everyone is as confused as I am about this whole Lacey fiasco, but it's at least starting to make some sense... however mind-boggling that sense may be. I'll take you through the strange sequence of events so you can follow the bizaareness as it happened...

In December, 2004, we got a kind of strange visitor. Her first post is here: [url]http://www.loveforum.net/showthread.php?t=5028[/url] This may seem irrelevant right now, but trust me, it will all come together.

In February, 2005, Shamoo came here to harass us all and basically just be a dick. He was kind of like Nero. Here is his first post:

In March, 2005, Lacey came to us with this weird post:
[url]http://www.loveforum.net/t6335-hello-from-the-great-white-north.html[/url]

We all pretty much ignored the weirdness of this intro. I'm not sure why. Eventually "Lacey" posted a picture of herself (after asking how here: [url]http://www.loveforum.net/t6336-just-wondering.html[/url]). Needless to say, it was a picture of an extremely hot blonde chick. If you haven't seen this picture you can see it here: [url]http://www.loveforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/564[/url]

Lacey started to tell us the story of her boyfriend, his mood swings and such. We all thought she was too hot to put up with it, and we told her so, here: [url]http://www.loveforum.net/t6338-male-pms.html[/url]
and here: [url]http://www.loveforum.net/t6366-this-sucks-really-bad.html[/url]

Then, the "inevitable" happened, her boyfriend dumped her. Actually, we all couldn't really believe someone would dump a chick that hot. We gave her some help here: [url]http://www.loveforum.net/t6396-i-got-dumped.html[/url]
I'm starting to pick up this aspect of human nature: "The hotter the b*tch, the harder it is to call her a liar." This is the post where Lacey tells me she wants to visit me in California. I promise her a private message. It went like this:

Life...
...It has its ups and downs. I hope you're feeling a little better about the boyfriend situation. The best thing to do is to simply allow him his space, and take some for yourself as well. You can't force him to change, and you don't want to be forever chasing this guy anyway.

Well, at least you were able to meet a cool guy like me!

If you would like to chat, I am so totally open for it. (You really are gorgeous.) I am on AOL as, you guessed it, bohemiandonut as well. Of course, up north they might not have AOL... Maybe "Canada On-Line" is compatible? Either way, I hope to see you around here more.

Keep your pretty chin up!
Peace.
---------------------------------------------

Lacey sent me back a rather strange message though. Instead of whining about being depressed, she said she " realized life is too short to be chasing around some guy that doesn't care about me. anyways you sound really cool and you make me laugh. P.S. check out the gallery." Strange eh? Not that I noticed at the time, I was mainly thinking about her picture.

Things start to get weird with Shamoo. He posts another intro, here: [url]http://www.loveforum.net/t6439-i-am-shamoo.html[/url] He now claimed to be Lacey's ex... I had my doubts but not for the right reasons.

After another private message with Lacey (where she tells me her friend posted a pic of her in a bikini but she took it down), I get a VERY WEIRD private message. This is the part none of you are aware of. Here is the message:

Hi bohemiandonut,

People can really be strange.

If you're interested in how people manage to maintain an Internet Relationship without destroying their family and friends lives...INSTANT MESSAGE (IM) is a good book for you.

You will see how faceless names text their way into the hearts of those who search for love.

It can be ordered at [url]http://www.authorhouse.com/BookStor...okid~29226.aspx[/url] or any book store near you. You will not view internet dating the same again.

I am also looking for people who are willing to share their Internet Experience or opinion with me for my next book. If you're interested contact me at:
[email]instant_message_2005@yahoo.com[/email]
Take care!
Barbara Jones
--------------------------------

Still not putting things together, I sent back this reply:

Hi, Barbara!

Yes, people can be very strange, especially when they send me messages trying to sell me some stupid f*cking book I don't need.

Please f*ck off you capitalist pig.

Take care!

The Donut.
------------------------------------

Now here's where the sh*t hits the fan. In Lacey's "dumped" post, Lacey posts this message: "I consider myself to be a good person,. it's dumbass people like Only-Virgins and
Lacey- I'd like to spray her with a big can of macey!!!"

Woops! Here's where everybody (though Innova had his suspicions earlier than most) wonders: Are Lacey and Shamoo the same person?

To answer that question is to ignore the bigger one... That is, "Who the hell is Barbara Jones?"

Well, get this. Barbara Jones came here to try to sucker someone into her little plot. She got me. Barbara Jones is the REAL Lacey and Shamoo. Since December she has been plotting and up until now everyone has been buying it. If it weren't for the Shamoo/Lacey mishap I would probably still be clueless. Check out her link on that private message.

Too weird to be true? Perhaps. Just be glad it didn't happen to you.

Moral of the story? I already said it: "The hotter the b*tch, the harder it is to call her a liar." Ironic, considering all my posts extolling the virtues of skepticism ("First rule to being intelligent: Believe nothing.")

Well, congratulations, Barbara/Lacey/Shamoo, you've made me a cold, bitter cynic. For life.

Ciao!

OMG that was so funny. Thank you for that. I can't stop laughing. That was just the greatest conspiracy theory I've seen yet. So funny donut.

[Only-virgins]

Long?....yes....worth it? ...........no.

[BlackRose]

I thought it was worth it.

[Only-virgins]

I thought it was worth it.

Yea, You would.

[Laguna]

Me too. But also..to add to this...if you look up Lacey's pictures for some reason it all puts Junes pics along with hers. Are they also the same person? Could it of been 4 people?

[Innova]

To be so bitter, is to live life without praise. (Virgin)

I knew lacey wasn't who she clamed to be, nice recovery...im impressed Donut.

As for June, I seriously doubt this. I could check however...

[misombra]

wow donut. you were totally suckered. i'm so sorry. lol. sorry i don't mean to laugh but, lol, i can't help it.

[Laguna]

Just one question: How bored were you when you did this? lol

[Only-virgins]

To be so bitter, is to live life without praise. (Virgin)

To live life with praise, Is to ignore all the un-justice (Innova)

[Junket]

Yea, You would.

Boy oh boy Virgin, you sure are a great comic.

Oh, and so that doesn't go over your head too, that was sarcasm, which basically means I meant the opposite of what I just said.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

Anyway back to the topic at hand.

To tell the truth that really wouldn't surprise me, I never liked that Barbara chick she just seemed slimey. Tryin' to be all buddy buddy with us and all.

[Innova]

To live life with praise, Is to ignore all the un-justice (Innova)

To focus on un-justice is immorally ignoring the beauty of life..which is why things such as is un-justice lol.

Think about it.

I'm sorry, but most would agree that we'd rather focus on the greater things in life, as well as improving our own lives..rather then focus on something that is "un-justice".

Its like saying I'd rather watch somebody get killed, then go out and realise your goals in life. (A dream persay)

Not watch somebody get killed. Help them escape death. I knew this guy who had a good saying for some things..I thought it was good at least..he always said "Fix everything before you enjoy anything". I liked that saying. Enjoying the "beauty" of life while there is life suffering is ignorance in its most obvious form.

[bohemiandonut]

Yeah, I was suckered. But so were all of you!

Laguna, this was actually the most fun I've had in a looooong time. I entertain myself most fully when entertaining others. I hope everyone enjoyed this little shenanigan, it was a lot of work. Let's all learn from this and be a little more skeptical next time some hot blonde tells us how much she likes to drink beer.

Unless she's real. In which case, SHE'S MINE! (I deserve it.)

Peace

[Innova]

Very true, but in also doing that you never really live your own life. Unfortunatly thats the trap we place upon ourselves...esp. in this society.

You can't help every issue thats outta your way, so enjoy the time you have with whats given to you. If an immoral subject comes your way, then by all rights you should help the matter.
