My latest troll is back, so I saw a couple of entries ago when they again insisted I give up this blog and go help someone, and that I should use all the time I spend writing about myself to do something “good.”

But they keep coming back to read more, so they must be one of those “losers” who cares. After all, they’re the ones who say only losers care to read my journal. And they claim I ONLY talk about myself yet I’ve also discussed Tom, Maliheh, Andy, Nane and others.

And if talking an 18-year-old suicidal girl out of cutting herself isn’t “helping” someone, what is? This was on another site, but yeah, she was a cutter and has eating disorders. I told her I’ve been there. It was many years ago, but as I later learned, cutting myself was stupid, pointless and not worth it. So was jumping out a window and breaking my arm. I went through a whole lotta pain for nothing. It wasn’t my arm that was the problem, so taking it out on myself was stupid. She got engrossed in one of my stories instead of cutting herself that night. :)

Maybe they’ll eventually have the guts to say who they are since they obviously can’t stay away from me. They were here on the 22nd of last month, too. I was going to piss them off by disabling anonymous comments, but nah. We’ll play their game a while longer unless they keep boring me with the same shit over and over again. Or decide my journal’s no longer fascinating enough to read and disappear.

My first thought when I checked my stats was that they were either flying under radar or an overwrite. If someone checks my blog at 9am, then again at noon, the 9am visit is overwritten. Unless I’m there to check stats between 9am - noon, I wouldn’t know they were in earlier. The closest visitor is 1 hour and 1 minute off, and it’s someone I know who wouldn’t do such a thing. They also don’t write as well as this person. This person is obviously a good speller and uses proper punctuation/capitalization. So first I thought it was someone who avoided detection (and yes, that can be done) or coming in under a proxy that was either Stacey or Molly-related, but my best guess is that they’re just a stranger who thinks it’s their job to police the internet and tell people how they should spend their time. Especially since if they’re who I think they are, they came in from my other journal. If I’m right, they left the comment, then returned almost 5 hours later no doubt to see if they’d get a response. They’re in Langley, British Columbia, Canada.

Am I right, troll? Then again, why should I trust anything you might tell me?

Anyway, I crashed right before they came in the first time to leave their wonderful comment, and didn’t get up for several hours after their last visit.

I also got a similar comment on Blogger, but I don’t think it was the same person, though they did come in from Opera. This other person didn’t write as well and I have no visitors there from Canada. Blogger doesn’t give as detailed stats as Opera. It only gives countries and referrers. No states, cities, providers or IPs.

I’m still going with them escaping detection or being in Canada and someone I don’t know despite the fact that they almost write as if they do know me. It’s like they’re taking what I say personally as if I’ve actually written things about them that they don’t like and are trying to deter me from blogging publicly, but it’s not going to happen, of course. I do what I myself want to do and not what others think I should do. If they in fact do know me and have a problem with anything in particular I may’ve said, they can feel free to let me know, but I am who I am and I do what I do. If you don’t like it, don’t read my blog. No one’s ever obligated or forced to read it in any way, and I don’t have to read anyone else’s stuff either if I don’t want to. So anyone who’s bored or offended by my blog is invited to leave. :)

But nothing that came in since I crashed looks “proxyish.” Proxies don’t usually assign bogus referrers. Bogus locations, IPs and providers, yes, but not bogus referral sites. A proxy referrer will usually just say “bookmark or direct hit.” If they came in on a search term through a proxy it should say “no search terms entered.”

I had to laugh at the part about how much time I spend writing about myself. Wow, lots of time since I can type almost as fast as I can think, huh? I spend a helluva lot more time on my stories than on reality. It takes more time to think up bullshit than it does to simply state the facts.

Maybe the coward will get up the balls to come forward out of the shadows and identify themselves. I don’t bite. :)

My other troll is back, too. Molly. :( Yeah, I knew that her vowing to stop bothering and spying on her “former friends” as she claimed on another site (not that I was ever a friend) would only last a few days.

I love how Maliheh, who’s sick again, unfortunately, and lost a lot of money to Crapple, wants to kick their ass. It’s funny and definitely flattering to know she’d go to bat for me if she could, LOL.

Later…

Welcome back, Miss Langley, British Columbia, Canada. Yeah, my MyOpera blog knows who you are, even if it can’t exactly narrow down your gender (though you write like a she). It even knows you love to read about me talking about myself so damn much that now you’ve got me bookmarked. Too bad you didn’t have anything to say about it tonight when you visited at 11:38, you chicken shit!

As my pork chops bake in the oven on a night filled with a horrendous amount of barking I’ll report on yesterday’s little shopping spree. Well, it wasn’t that little at $220, even if most of it was groceries.

We left for Walmart at 4am and I was sorry I didn’t take a light jacket. I was fine in the car, but walking too and from it was rather chilly at just 50º. It warmed up to 66º later on and I woke up at 6pm to a 78º bedroom. Mmm… toasty. :) Ah, but the misery will be returning soon. :( Monday through Wednesday’s supposed to be rainy and cold in the low 50s and upper 40s. We shouldn’t freeze anymore this year, but we’ll come close in a few nights from now. For the most part, we’re able to do away with the heat between 9-11 am – 9-11 pm.

I didn’t get any dolls or stuffed animals, but there was a stuffed animal I really liked. I just didn’t think it was worth $20.

At the store, I got a gorgeous “diamond” necklace and matching earring set that I can’t believe was only $10. Thanks to my folks sending that necklace the rat keeps trying to sabotage I’m getting into jewelry. They make it so much more shiny and colorful than they used to, so there I was for the first time in probably over a decade, helping myself. I also got a set of 6 tiny gemstone earrings in different colors which included 3 silver stud earrings in different sizes. This was just $5.

I got some resistance bands for exercising, and a miniature bottle of White Shoulders perfume, one of my longtime faves.

Lastly, we got a much-needed shower curtain and bathmat. We bleached our old plastic one to kill the mildew and it made little holes in it. It was time for something new anyway. I got a solid white curtain instead of the designs I usually get, but this one’s way cool because it’s not plastic. It’s sort of like a nylon material and will be much easier to wash because it’s not as stiff. It also has built-in hooks which make it easier to take down and put up.

The bathmat is a pretty shade of light pink. It’s plush enough to be absorbent, but not overly plush like our old shaggy lavender one that stayed wet forever. I like the rubber backing this one has, too. Tom knows that if he gets just one drop of dye on it when he goes to dye his hair like he does every other week, somebody will be quick to strangle him. :)

Alison said that if Molly doesn’t spy on or harass people it’s not because she’s busy or has any willpower, but because she has her mother block those sites for her. OMG, that’s so funny. Sad, but funny that some people have to be “forced” to behave and not bother people.

Talked to Maliheh earlier, but not for long. The poor girl had a headache.
