I know that there aren't many people who are universally recognized, but I'm sure you can all think of someone who's highly respected in your group of

i forgot all the details, but she pretty much just lied to everybody about having a disease and dying.

She was the mod to ljsecret, and she "faked her death" (as well as you can do it on the internet). Later she came back and said she was trying to teach all the people who right secrets about how much their life sucks that it could be a lot worse.
She was trying to teach a lesson to the people who use her community for the reason it was created. By pretending to die.

Oh LJ, such the drama club.

She told her whole friendslist that she was dying of Tuberculosis and was going to die in 6 months. I was pretty good friends with her and even she had me half-believing she was telling the truth. Anyway, one of my good friends found out she was lying and then she came out and admitted it.

[goodbye]

There was, and then like I said, one of my good friends found out she was lying and that she never died. That was when she made a huge post saying she lied, and explaining things.
