Hello. Sorry I haven't posted for ages. I kept thinking I ought to post about this before I started on any of the usual waffle and fluff, and I've been putting it off because it's not something I particularly want to talk about or expend any more energy on. But it's been bothering me that there might be people who don't know about this, and who

WHY do people DO this?

GRRRR.

[sheldrake]

I dunno, Laura. In this case I think it was probably a combination of an intense desire for a clean slate/prurient curiosity about what people might say when she was 'dead'/wanting to get back at people she felt had treated her badly (I didn't get that last one until someone pointed it out, but it made a horrible sort of sense).

It's such a terribly damaging and selfish way to behave.

[zoniduck]

Wait, WHAT??? So her mother was in on the whole thing? Because unless my memory is totally shot, there are people on LJ who spoke to her mother after her death, or "death" as the case may be.

[sheldrake]

I don't know, I really don't! I assumed maybe she'd pretended to be her own mother, but even my knowledge of what happened at the time is so sketchy. I do seem to remember her mother emailed a selected group of people (I wasn't one of them), but I can't really remember. I'd quite like to know how it all went down, to be honest...

[zoniduck]

Well, I don't have any details either, but I just emailed someone who was involved with all that, and she confirmed that it's true, Kia is still alive. You would think this stuff would stop surprising me after all this time, and yet...

[sheldrake]

I know, I know... I suppose in a way it's good we're still surprised though. Hopefully it means there are more nice, genuine people about than there are sad little fakes.

*hugs* Kudos to you for posting this. You know you're not alone in feeling duped by her.

I did alot of thinking about this at the time I spoke to you and I came to the conclusion that she isn't worth my time, she isn't worth yours either so please don't let it effect you too much. *hugs*

[sheldrake]

No, I came to that conclusion too. Like I said, if someone wants to be dead to me that much, I'm quite happy to oblige. It worried me that other people might still be labouring under the delusion that she was worth theirs though, so I thought it was best to pass on the info. I'm really glad you posted in the first place, it's always so much better to know these things.

*hugs* Onwards and upwards!

I told Katie after I spoke to you and she was as WTF? as I was. That seems to be the favoured response to such an utter shitty piece of fuckwittery.

I am really glad you decided to post this.

[azewewish]

To borrow one of your phrases, I'm pretty gobsmacked right now. I can't imagine how trianne is going to react. Kia stayed at her house, man.

[lazlet]

Trianne knows. She posted a cryptic post and when I went back to it after Duckie told me, she had added a note to say that's who she was talking about.

But yeah. Totally gobsmacked.

[azewewish]

Glad she knows. I'll have to find that post. Must've been while I was on vacation.

I feel so totally gullible right now. And sickened.

[azewewish]

*boggles* You are fucking kidding me????? Was Shallow in on it? I remember they were really tight back in the day?

Jesus, man, I fucking mourned that girl. I can't believe she'd do something like this. How did it come to light?

[lazlet]

That's what I said to Duckie when she told me, people mourned her. A really shitty thing to do to people who thought they were your friends.

[azewewish]

No kidding. I am so furious right now. Jesus...

[lazlet]

I think there are going to be quite a few people who feel exactly the same way. :(
