I'll try to use this abortion of a website again, lol. Every time I get on, they change something. But enough bitching - I'm back again. Again. Let's see how long this one lasts before I get frustrated again. Again.

Expect to see new stuff soon.

For the longest time, I haven't posted any of my new art here. I'd been posting on FA because the interface is much easier to use and less time consuming (considering DA does site maintainence more often than it is allowed to run smoothly from my observations). Anyway, here's a post spaz for you.

Hey all, I'm changing my phone number tomorrow. I just got a long slew of harassing phone calls. To those of you who I trust enough, I will release the new number.

Now, about the calls -- I got a call from a guy calling himself "Bob" around 10:30pm tonight, which I missed because I was on the other line. I called the number back, and the guy told me he was looking for fun one night and that he got my information off the net. Apparently, someone put my information (almost all of it, no lie) on a Craigslist of some kind for the Jacksonville area, which included my name, phone number, sexual preference, religious views, roommate's name, the car I drive, where I work, my height, stature, age, address, and a few other things. The ad apparently said that I was looking for a discreet sexual partner in the Jacksonville area, and had been put out by "Nate". So, I told him that I did not consent to that information being let out, especially on a personals ad site that I've never heard of before, and asked him to contact the admin and have my information removed. I hung up, and immediately interrogated my roommate, who swore that it wasn't him. I got another call minutes later, from someone else on a different number asking for the same thing of both me AND my roommate (which validated that it really wasn't him). After that, another person called from the first number, saying their name was "Charles" and that I had called Riverside Baptist Church.

Here's where it gets even more fucked up. I got online and looked up the church's number...it did not match. I called anyway, and the church was closed. So I did a reverse-phone search on Whitepages, and the number was a Jacksonville-based cell phone. I knew I was being pranked then. I got a fourth call from a "Private" number. They said that they knew the pastor of Riverside Baptist Church, and it had been stated that my number had been given to them in connection with sexual advances to children (he said 12 years old and under), and then began beating around the bush trying to accuse me of advancing on children. I hung up and called JSO. I'd had enough. Dispatch sent an officer out. I got another call from a private number soon after -- this person said that they were a detective for JSO, gave me a badge number, and asked me to explain what was going on. Soon after I started speaking, he cut me off and brought up the sexual advances towards minors thing. He kept asking for my last name and for my apartment number, to which I responded with "I can't verify that you are an officer, so I'm not releasing that information." The apartment complex security guard overheard this, came over, and took my phone. The caller hung up.

An officer came out to my apartment, and began taking the report, including also that the badge number was false, and whoever called me was committing a felony for impersonating an officer. In the middle of it, I got another call from this private number, which the officer answered. She stated her name and that she was a JSO officer, and the caller hung up. I turned my phone off.

Now, a prank call is funny and all, but after repeated harassment, it just ain't right. Especially if one impersonates an officer, impersonates a church official, levys accusations of sexual advances on minors towards you, and asks for sexual favors on repeated occasions. If I find out that it was a friend of mine pulling tricks, read my words carefully. You are no longer a friend I wish to associate with. If it continues, I'll be on you so bad, even Ajax won't take me off. This is something I am taking very seriously, so, no jokes here.

So, I've been away for quite some time, and only have a few pieces of art to show for it. It's mainly because of my busy schedule and the fact that I've been tired all the time. Other than that, it's because I've been uploading to other galleries, and haven't gotten used to DA's new submission thing. Anyway, I'm back for a while.

I usually don't do this stuff, and for this specific reason: I have no clue who to tag or why. XD; But here it is.



Rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/things about yourself" and people who get tagged need to write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their devpage comments and tell them to read yours...

1. I'm afraid of spiders. I can withstand all kinds of scary stuff with no problem, but if I see a spider looking at me in that way that they do...all menacing and evil... *shudder*

2. I'm ticklish. My GOD am I ticklish. x.x;

3. I can't stand it when you are searching for something for hours, just to find out you are either wearing it, have it on your person, or it was in the most obvious place ever. I mean seriously...I once looked in the freezer for the TV remote, when it was on top of the TV.

4. I have a strange fixation with singing in the car. It really annoys some, because I just so happen to know every word to every song that plays through the speakers, hehe.

5. I really think bathroom attendants are creepy. After I zip up, some guy is offering me a towel and a mint like I just had sex with George Michael. I can't even tell if he's supposed to be there, or just some dude with a fetish. I just want to wash my hands.

6. I get lulled into a droning confusion by women with pencil-thin eyebrows. Ladies, leave your eyebrows alone. Here's how much men care about your eyebrows: do you have two of them? Okay, we're done.
