Annie's Real Blog LIP
So speaking of crazy blogs. I found this a while back and was on the fence about posting it because it's kind of sad but it's become more relevant to current happenings on TN.

Don't make it clicky because I'm not that heartless that I want her to find it. I won't spoil it by giving a description. I will say that I found it on a blog list for people going through Adoption/Loss/Infertility and scratched my head about how it got there.
Anyway there you go.

Re: Annie's Real Blog LIP
The fact that she has to distinguish between online friend and not makes me know she's crazy. If HS, esd, abs, etc died tomorrow... I would feel just as awful as if a person I know outside of the internet died. And I'd just say "I lost a friend", not "I lost an internet friend".
Chick be crazy.

Yes exactly. After finding it the first time I thought maybe I had read it wrong so I went back a few days later.

That's an, uh, interesting blog.
Yes, five years ago. And it doesn't seem like they interacted much/at all off the message board. I would never put an expiration date on someone else's grief but...
Also it seems every so often she announces the death of another person she knows online. I just don't understand.
My Blog
Yeah. WTF?
That just kind of made me sad for her...
I've had a lot of "internet friends" in my time but... I don't know, I can't really read that without feeling bad for her and creeped out and bad for feeling creeped out.
She's a tragedy hor. I remember when I was a freshman in high school and one of our classmates killed herself. People suddenly started crawling out of the woodwork that knew her soooooooooo well.
This is what I get from her.

Yeah she mentions she's in grief counseling at one point. And she says her writing is cathartic for her. I guess it's good she's trying to help herself but you'd think the whole blog could be a trigger seeing old posts. I don't know. I'm not a shrink.
My Blog
I had a friend on FB (someone I knew from HS) who suppossedly knew lots of D list celebrities. For example she knew Brad Renfro and would post about his death constantly and about how she missed him etc. When Corey Haim died she did the same thing. I have since deleted her bc I think she is a bit off her rocker but I can only imagine how she posted about Whitney.
SN: We live on the east coast and she would say things about Brad being her best friend etc. People would tell her to post some pics of the two of them and she never did. It was clear this was a fantasy of hers. Sad but true. There are people out there like this. I think it must be awful to live like that. And to continue to grieve in such a way after five years as well as do a blog about it. Hmmm.. odd.
