You know... in some earier rants I babbled on about Winona Ryder... explained my "obsession" in mild terms... but you know... it really did go much further than that for a while.
At one point I spent about 45 minutes searching the AOL member directory because I read in a FAQ that she had an AOL account at some point.
Sure... I thought it was silly after a while... but I always talked to the people that were on mt list should they happen to sign on. I've kept some of them transfered onto my BuddyList™ and they were all pretty cool people, but not Winona Ryder.
Interesting thing happened last weekend (which, come to think of it... I knew would happen) There were a few names on the list that were determined from dead reckoning and some with vague profiles... they did not say "hey look at me I'm Winona Ryder, come harras me" or In one case had no profile at all.
Last weekend... who should sign on... but the name with no profile... the one given the 90% probability of being authentic... I send E-mail (IMs were off) The Reply "Who are you?"(does this bring an image from the scene in alien4 with Weaver when she goes "What are you?" maybe it's just me) I respond with my regular sophistic bullshit plus give her the link to this site.
The next day... another name with about a 70% probability of authenticity signs on... I IM... reply "who are u?" again... a near identical batch of sophistic bullshit.
What followed was fairly immature... and could have easily been avoided... but...
After that point she doesn't talk to me... bored... I continue sending IMs... maintain being polite... not asking any personal questions... no reaction... So I re-read her profile... it says "Personal Quote: Ask me".. So I IM "From your profile: What's your quote?"... reply "My quote is 'get lost' so GET LOST CREEP".. I make the reply of something to the effect of "thanks for the dignity of treating me like a human and gracing me with a reply"
So I leave her alone for a while and go talk to other people... see how my stock is doing... read some newsgroups... Get bored... IM her again... continue the monologue for a while... suddenly I'm attacked with "your GET LOST LOSSER" repeated 34 times or so... My reply "I can do that too... but it'd probably kick you off-line"
her Reply "why do you keep IMing me?"
me: "At first it was just curiousity but then after your first inflamitory remarks I felt it was my obligation to annoy you... I appear to have suceeded"
her: "not really"
Then she IM-Bombs me...
I go off and watch TV and read some more of War and Peace waiting for the program to run or the connection to time out... in the end it times out
You know... I would almost be disappointed if it really was Winona Ryder. It dismays me to image that anyone that's 26 could act that way. It dismays me further to think someone could be a public figure and 26 and act that way. Frankly, it's flat out immature.
Though when I saw her online next she appologized for IM-Bombing me... I resisted the temptation to report her.
If you want the AOL ScreenNames...
Go back to the index and E-mail me about why you think I should give them to you.
