Do I have some sort of flag on my email, heralding that all strangers should write to me asking questions about and sending pictures of Barry Andrews? When I had the site going, I could understand getting such at angelina@barryandrews.net, but that's been years ago, and my susperia5 email isn't advertised, at least I don't think so, and isn't necessarily linked to anything Shriek or Andrews. But, last night, I get this picture from a stranger of Barry when he was 21. Then this morning, I get an email from another stranger asking me how tall Barry Andrews is.

How the fuck should I know? I didn't measure his frame when we met. That would have been weirder than all Sith Hell and, besides, I was too busy freaking the fuck out and being drunk from many pints of Guinness.

This is just more than a little bizarre. I have no clue where all this is coming from, but I guess there's some sort of indication that I'm the go-to person when it comes to all this. After 12 years, you'd think I would have faded into blessed obscurity.

Purportedly this is from Criss Angel, who seriously freaks me out. I'm still not taking part in the chain mail because, first, I don't do that stuff and, second, the description of my Zodiac is (mostly) full of crap.

Here's the meat of the email: This was interesting. Cris Angel showed how this worked on one of his shows, but it was still kind of surprising when I checked out several people I knew. Not superstitious, but I need all the luck I can get. Once you have opened this e-mail, there is no turning back. Below are true descriptions of zodiac signs. Read your sign and then forward it on, with your zodiac sign on the subject line. This is the real deal, try ignoring or changing it and the first thing you'll notice is having a horrible day, starting tomorrow morning - and it only gets worse from there.

And here's my Zodiac. Let's break it down, shall we?

The Perfectionist (Aug 23 - Sept 22)- Yeah, I'm a bit of a perfectionist.

Dominant In relationships. - Depends on the relationship. As I get older, I find myself being a tad dominant because I don't put up with...well, with crap.

Conservative. - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm a Hippie!

Always wants the last word. - True. Which sucks for my relationship with my best friend because he's also a Virgo. You see the dilemma here. Our fights have gone on for months.

Argumentative. - Not really. I try to smooth things out everywhere.

Worries. - No point in worrying. It'll only serve to make untenable situations worse. Just follow the tenants of Dudeism and everything will be groovy.

Very smart. - I'd like to think so.

Dislikes noise and chaos. - Half right! I hate noise, but I loves me some Chaos. Chaos theory is probably as close we'll ever get to the truth of Existence, and Chaos Magick can be very liberating. Just ask Grant Morrison.

Eager. Hardworking. Loyal. - I'm being all of that at the moment, but only because I have a Cause. If I'm not inspired, I couldn't care less.

Beautiful. - That's up for debate.

Easy to talk to. - I try to be.

Hard to please. - Yes. You have to impress me a great deal for me to even give you the time of day.

Harsh. - I didn't use to be, but I can be now if I have to. That's the Inner Sith.

Practical and very fussy. - Not really. I'm extremely laid back with my own life.

Often shy. - No, not anymore. I'm a tad in-your-face, I'm sure much to some folks' chagrin.

Pessimistic. - True. The glass isn't half full or half empty, because there's no freakin' glass at all. Maybe that's more cynical than pessimistic.

So yeah, Criss, if this is your doing, stop with the chain mails and go back to levitation. You were much spookier doing that and being all Vampiric whilst doing it.

A continuation of the "war."

I got a response back:

You are a twit first class, flaming?! Is that an internet term? You must be a stay at home to use email/internt terms, please do you sit at home with your hand out too like a perfect democrat, hand out, crying for help.

Insidious? Now that's funny, really life must just be too much for you to handle if an email is insidious, try not reading and simply deleting next time.

and Cheers to you and your regards

Of course, I couldn't let it go. It would be....unSithly.

How sad that you're unable to form coherent sentences. A stay-at-home what? Could you possibly include a verb and a noun in each sentence, or are you too busy name-calling to speak proper English?
Your assumptions about my private life are insulting and typical of your ilk. I'm certain that you'll be sitting in church, turning the other cheek, come Sunday, secure in your imagined superiority.
If you have any problems understanding any portion of this email, I would direct you to http://www.dictionary.com, in hopes that you're literate enough to comprehend it. It's been my experience that many Right-leaning types are big on arrogance and aggression, but sadly lacking in intelligence. You're doing nothing to dissuade my opinions.
Should you care to engage in a civil conversation, I'm open to share ideas and opinions, and learning of yours. But, if you're keen only on attacking the character of someone who has had enough of unwelcome emails, I would ask that you take your hatred and ignorance elsewhere, like Nazi Germany, where such behaviour was welcome and celebrated.

I'm not certain I'll continue this discourse, though. My heart is about to beat out of my chest from the distress at knowing I'm far outnumbered by people like this. These are the people who held the auto da fé and built the concentration camps. I don't, for one second, doubt that these brutes could and would do it all over again.

After several requests to be taken off her Fascist mailing list, I received yet another offensive email this morning from a former classmate. This one was called "Spreading the Wealth" and it featured this political cartoon.

( bullfunky )

I snapped. Instead of writing to her privately, I copied everyone and said:

What a pile of crap. Please don't send me any more of this pro-Republican dreck. Anyone who believes the propaganda they're pumping out of their bullshit machine, especially after the past eight years of TERROR perpetrated by that idiot in the White House, is a moron who deserves to end up living in a cardboard box and panhandling for a gallon of gas.

So some tackhead who was copied on all this replied to me, copying everyone as well:

Next time you want to espouse your vac quid mind try not too reply to "EVERYONE" I didn't send it to you and I'd appreciate you keep your rudeness to yourself! JACKASS! or at least address it to the right person. And yes I replied to "EVERYONE" cause I'm sure the others are too kind to call you the JACKASS that you are.

I couldn't let it go.

I've replied to these insidious emails privately before with no results, so I figured a public request might do the trick. Glad you think I'm a jackass and that you've resorted to flaming because you've publicly exposed your level of intellect without my having to do a thing.

Kind Regards

I doubt this person will get the sarcasm because s/he is obviously a slack-jawed drone of the Fascist machine, so I expect another attack in short order. Bring it, bitch. I am a Sith and I will kill you with my brain.

Someone I know sent me one of those "smile" emails that's full of pictures and sayings that are supposed to make you all gooey and compel you to smile and feel all schmoopy. I usually just delete these things without looking at them but, this time I opened it just for the hell of it. It was a list of sayings about Life and one pierced me with its incredible wisdom.

Earth is the insane asylum for the universe.

If that doesn't explain every damned thing, I don't know what would.

My Yahoo spam filter suddenly decided that anything from "LJ Notify" was bad and should immediately be deleted. I fixed the problem, so I should be getting my comments now.

I've been home for 45 minutes after having worked at the dollar store, which sucked like nothing I can sufficiently describe, and I'm about to head back out the door for Sally Foster.

I know I say it a lot, but it needs saying: I'm tired.

I'm not getting a lot of my LJ comments in my Yahoo! inbox. I get the mail alert on Messenger but, when I go to my inbox, there's nothing there. Who knows what comments I've missed so, if I don't respond to something you've said to me, I apologise ahead of time because I probably don't know you even had anything to say to begin with.
