Here's a conversation I had this evening with some random person on Trillian:

occultistslayer: hello :-d
occultistslayer: i bet you are wondering who i am huh??
occultistslayer: and no...i'm not part an occult...that's why i'm called an occultistslayer...i'm opposite from an occulist....:-d
occultistslayer: lol!! :-d
Utopia477: so then, who are you?
occultistslayer: i just found your sn in some american idol website..lol!! :-d
Utopia477: that's more than a little weird
occultistslayer: i don't know...it's some american idol site :-d
Utopia477: You didn't answer my question
occultistslayer: okay..in other words..i'm a person who saw your sn in some american idol site :-d
occultistslayer: that's all i can say
occultistslayer: because i don't want to say my "personal" information..
occultistslayer: :-d
Utopia477: then there's not much point in the conversation, then, is there?

Huh? What? I don't even know what to make of this exchange. I suppose I should be grateful the wackadoodle didn't open the conversation with, "wanna fuck?" But that's little consolation.

And, dude! (or dudette, I have no idea) What's with the smiling all the time??

Later in the convo, I'm told this person is 15 and "couldn't do me any harm". Thanks, but this is weird all the same.

I'm waiting for the link that will show me where this person got my sn (yeah, I know, I know from an american idol web site - that does me no good).

I'll let you see the rest of the convo:

occultistslayer: so yeah...
Utopia477: yeah?
occultistslayer: do you watch american idol??
Utopia477: no
occultistslayer: hmmm...that's a little bit off..:-/ since i found your screenname on this american idol site..
Utopia477: That's pretty weird
Utopia477: Hence my hesitation in even having this convo.
occultistslayer: no it's okay :-d
occultistslayer: okay...how about this?? i'll tell you my real age..alright??
occultistslayer: i'm younger than you might think of..
occultistslayer: i'm 15.....
occultistslayer: so i can't do you any harm..:-d
Utopia477: that's not necessarily true, but thank you
occultistslayer: you're welcome :-d
Utopia477: why don't you send me the link to the page where you found my sn?
occultistslayer: yeah i was about to do that :-d
Utopia477: I appreciate it
occultistslayer: hmm..hold on...give me a few minutes to find it
Utopia477: mmhmm
occultistslayer: okay i found it :-d
occultistslayer: let me send you the link..
occultistslayer: :-/...errrr....
Utopia477: copy and paste
occultistslayer: i know...
occultistslayer: but i can't find your sn...:-/...there should be more..
Utopia477: Well, there really was no reason for my sn to bet there, anyway.
occultistslayer: hmm...
occultistslayer: i don't know..:-/
occultistslayer: i just found it...
Utopia477: I'm sure. Let's just consider this a case of mistaken identity and move on?
occultistslayer: lol!! :-d
occultistslayer: alright..
Utopia477: Well, kid, I'm about to sign off. Have a nice life and stay out of trouble.
occultistslayer: thanks :-d
occultistslayer: i'll keep that in mind..;-)
Utopia477: you're welcome. Good night.
occultistslayer: goodnight :-d

Uh huh. Yeah. Ok.

That's enough internet for me today. Buh-bye

nice only goes so far

Bronwyn,
I've told you before and I'll tell you again. Sometimes you're just too nice. You need to take some lessons from me on how to be a bitch. your "mistake" (if you can really call it that...because it wasn't a mistake per se, just a way of handling the situation differently than I would have done) was in actually having a conversation with this person. When random people IM me, I make no attempts at conversation (except the occasional "um, ok," "whatever," or "if you say so" in response to things they say. If they don't quickly take it upon themselves to tell me who they are (you shoud never have to ask them who they are...if they know you they'll tell you, and if they don't they should tell you why they IM'd you) then I simply continue to ignore them. And if they get obnoxious, I block them. however, if they identify themselves and they seem "worthy" of me spending my time talking to them, then I'll start talking. But since they IM'd me it's up to them to tell me who they are; it's not my responsibility to ask them.

Hopefully I haven't offended you in this. I'm not trying to slam you or anything, simply offering advice on an alternative way of handling this sort of thing if it happens again in the future.

Love ya! Hope your day gets better soon. *HUGS*

:-P :-) ;-) :-o :-D
heehee...couldn't resist a string of smileys.

I know, I'm too nice. Darn me to heck.

I'm slowly learning. Thanks for the advice, hon.

Oh, come on, Bronwyn, we all know how you run your very own American Idol Worship webpage... d:

But seriously, folks... that youngin' didn't really seem to be the sharpest crayon in the box.

Damn! You found me out!

Now if only I could FIND my American Idol Worship webpage. . .

You know, the American Idol page you made when you found out that Justin Guarini was converting to Heathenism...

And if you want, I can send my cousin Vito ova dere to kick this kid's ass...
