Guess Who Is Back

Two people who left YouTube or were suspended made appearances on my computer monitor today. The first person was female and had a steady stream of trolls. She had great difficulty with her trolls and she would react in video by cussing them out. She makes appearances every so often when there is drama surrounding trolls. Her haters have an acount dedicated to her old channel, it goes something like "FuckUsername2". I think she comes back to YouTube now to try and get the haters to take the videos down. She will not file a DMCA complaint out of fear of them obtaining her address.

So everytime there was drama on my channel involving haters she would be back leaving comments. She is one of the first people I subscribed to on YouTube. This was back when ZenArcher was bigtime with the Renetto and GregSolomon drama. She, renetto, and ZenArcher inspired me to start vlogging.

She has a very sour view of the site due to her interactions with haters. renetto came to her aid in video once when she was suspended.

The problem is when she makes appearances she can be rude to me. I do not know it is her at first and I block her or tell her off. If I am incorect about her situation then it is an honest mistake.

The other person I saw today also has alot of fans/haters. He has been suspended at least ten times now. He was very popular when he had his original channel. What happened to him, as I see it, was that he had a bad reaction to his trolls. I think they were photoshopping his family in a sniper's rifle and dropping his old address. He retaliated by dropping docs on someone he got into an internet scuffle with on another site.

Now to change the subject. It feels good that my email box is quiet and having no channel. I baked brownies today which is unusual for me. I read Erma Bombeck's book "If Life is a Bowl of Cherries, What Am I doing in the Pits".

I will turn off comments and blog with no feedback if necessary.

Rob bought me some powder blue sweatpants and I put them on tonight. I am wearing the blue Piggly Wiggly shirt I got from my aunt.

I have been sleeping alot more. I think I recognize now how the internet makes me sick.

Rob said it would be okay to blog.

2bsirius got confused. I had copied and pasted a message from thepacmangroup troll and left it on her channel as a warning.

THEPACMANGROUP (1 week ago) Check out the channel '2bsirius'. I not sure, but I think she might be worth trolling.


It can be found on page 11, 12, 0r 13 of this comment board that is linked.

I am not going to have Rob private message her to clear up the misunderstanding. Rob said it should be okay for me to blog. A blog cannot be photoshopped. Well, I guess it can.

I do not have a YouTube account right now. If I start one then I am only letting a handful of people know. Right now I am thinking I will not be uploading videos of myself for a very long time. Unless Rob has me to something in video.

My date with a Monte Cristo almost threatened by bankruptcy!

Bennigans Monte Cristo Sandwich Recipe | Recipezaar

I Googled "Bennigan's" to go to their website and get pictures of the Monte Cristo sandwich. They have no website anymore! Bennigan's filed for bankruptcy in July of this year. The Michigan locations are staying open through another company, but the site is no more. Wikipedia has more information on the company closing up shop.

Tomorrow is our eleventh wedding anniversary. We usually go to Bennigan's on our anniversary and I order a Monte Cristo.

It looks like I missed out on riding the Huckleberry Ghost Train this year. It was not meant to be this year. It is quite a drive from where we live. The price of gas is lower now but Rob did not want to make long trips lately.

The bill for the sidewalk came a week or two ago. We have thirty days to pay that off. They poured it earlier this month. They sent us the notice saying it needs to be fixed during the summer. At the time it was a minor drama for me. Because of the sidewalk we abstained from visiting my folks in Texas this year. We made the trip to visit my Dad in Mississippi though. We have saved enough for the sidewalk because we had the advance notice of several months.

Cutting: Scars Fade

xsullengirlx Removed My Video from superangrymonkey

Re: xsullengirlx's email from superangrymonkey

xsullengirlx channel

I ran across this drama inadvertently through a clone channel. The clone posed as SpikeBravo and then trolled superangrymonkey with one of Spikebravo's more embarassing videos about his prowess as a lover. To summarize the drama, in case you do not want to watch the videos, a girl named xsullengirlx was satirized by superangrymonkey. He acquired one of her photos from LiveJournal and used it in his criticism of her. XSullenGirlX is a YouTube partner and has done an expansive series of videos on self-injury. Superangrymonkey saw one of her videos where she describes how to hide scars. From what I gather from his videos he feels that she is somehow encouraging or perhaps providing a means for people to continue to self-injure. Sullengirl filed a DMCA against superangrymonkey's video about her based on her reasoning that he had no right to use her image. Superangrymonkey has since filed a counter-claim. His argument is that her DMCA is false because she has no intention of pursuing legal action.

So from all of that, I have no real need to subscribe to either person. I watched sullengirl's video where she poses the question to herself, "Am I pro-self injury?" I do deal with a mental illness but her issue is not my issue. When I was in middle school one school year I was cutting on my arms for a period of months. I wore a long purple flannel shirt to hide my arms. I was in Houston at the time and we all know how warm it gets down there. During one school day, one of the counselors pulled me aside and demanded to see my arms. She was checking for "tracks" thinking I was an IV drug user. On another occasion my English teacher saw the cuts and yanked me by the arm to the counselor's office where they scolded me.

My parents response to my injuring was to strike me and to scold me verbally. Despite all these responses from the adults around me, it is something I outgrew. A relationship with a young man my age ended. That was the end of one source of grief. Another significant positive change is I was "promoted" into the ninth grade which meant entering high school. I failed the eighth grade twice and was promoted to the ninth grade through a program to give us a chance to change ourselves in high school. This was done for the older students.

I failed third grade in elementary but made it to fourth by changing myself into an honor roll student. Basically, I applied myself. I stuck with making good grades until middle school where I tried my hardest to be a cool headbanger. So, I turned it back around in ninth grade. It stayed that way until senior year. I dropped out in the beginning of that year and went to the local community college, took and passed the GED test.

It was my left arm that I cut on. The scars have faded to the point that you have to have my arm right up close to you to see them. That is a very good thing considering that one of the scars was the name of a young man. That has faded almost completely.

Maybe superangrymonkey has a point. I imagine some of the young people watching her still cut and do not put it in their past due to the amount that sullengirl talks about it. There are groups online called Pro-Ana and Pro-Mia. That is pro-anorexia and pro-bulimia. So I think it is much better for a young person to develop other interests besides focusing on the management and control of their illness.

Inconspicuous Consumption Links for the Day!

This blog is starting to look like the Home Shopping Network with all the links to things I have purchased at real stores. I do very little shopping online except for my birthday and Christmas when my father sends money. At those times I buy books online through Amazon.

YamaMotoYama Oolong Tea-- This tea is sold at the Asian grocery store I go to for $1.99. I brew it for two minutes then add two spoonfuls of sugar to it. I have made iced tea with it before but it tastes better warm.

Jergens All-Purpose Face Cream-- I am now addicted to this face cream. I bought some at the Piggly Wiggly that my aunt owns in Mississippi. If I cannot find this at the stores up here then I doubt Rob will let me buy it online. I saw it for sale on Walgreen's website so maybe they will have it in the stores.
