Oh, Anne. so much ~ma for your friend.

Yikes, Laga! Glad you got a good severance, etc., though.

I need to request lots and lots of ~ma for my 2pm (EST) interview for a totally awesome kickass job that I would be perfect for.

Sean, hope you are feeling better today. You too, ND.

{{{Anne}}} ~ma for your friend.

Tons of job~ma, Nora!

Laga, what a bummer.

I hope everyone who was sick feels better (ND, Sean, TCG, sj, erin, etc). I am ickless so far, perhaps surprisingly.

More coffee for me.

I'm fine now, so passing around the ~ma to the rest of the sickies. Smonster, I hope you remain ickless.

Interview~ma for Nora.

~ma for those that need it.

smonster should definitely remain ickless, otherwise I will only be able to wave at her from afar this weekend.

I really should accomplish something more today than catching up on the internets and watching the saved episodes on my DVR.

Fuck! Laga, that is unpleasant and upsetting - but yay for healthy chunks of cash to tide you over!

Hive mind help? I have an author friend of mine who writes YA books and a couple of months back, began receiving MySpace messages from a user who appeared to be a teenage emo girl with a hateful diatribe against one of her books. She deletes it, goes on about her business, then about a month ago, gets another message from this girl, claiming that her brother had hacked her MySpace account and was the one who wrote the hateful stuff and she looooooooved her books and had posted a YouTube vid promoting it.

Well, my friend likes to give people the benefit of the doubt and of course, shit like this happens with teenagers and getting into online accounts, so she says, "Okay, thanks--" clicks over to the YouTube vid and it's some guy, hiding behind her cover and spewing vitriol. Completely goes off on her readers and such-- which is what bothers my friend more than the stuff about her. As she put it, "He can say what he wants about me-- I could care less, but I feel so bad for my readers, because he's calling them really nasty names and insulting their intelligence and in a lot of cases, these are just young girls."

Obviously, she doesn't want to feed the troll because she knows what he wants most is a response, but she'd really love for this video to go away. Any suggestions?

And here's the vid: [link]
