In Praise of Stacey*
Tuesday 12 December 2006 - 11.58am
Whew, I'm impressed by that little piece of research Penny. I always thought they were such nice girls, just goes to show..

Now that it is all over I think would like to say a little piece for the author, Stacy. Stacey I would like to thank you for your prodigious efforts in bringing us the, rather more interesting than most, lives of a small group of lively girls (and the occasional post from their boys). Their story will live on in our minds for some time to come. I don't own a television so I found it a good substitute for Shortland Street. Thanks.

However, Stacey, and her husband, have left these journals for the tepid windless waters of livejournal. I do not have a full understanding of why they left but it was surely tied to the fake journals scandal. There was nastiness and hurtful (anonymous) thoughts and in the chaos we forgot who we are here at jevon.org.

I would like to call for the return of Stacey and Richard. I would invite Stacey to write more fake journals (reserving the right to try to detect them naturally) and Richard to come back and post more of his photos.

*In case I am wrong and Stacey did not write all of or part of the fake journals she might be even more pissed now than before

Hurrah!!!!!! Its the return of Francis! This is a very happy day, you have been missed Mister and your ability to make me piss myself laughing (which it sems you have not even remotely lost your magic touch for).

And I cannot take all the credit, I had a little help from some other very clever journalers (who I shall not name)

Hey Penny, thanks for the warm hello. I am glad to see the natural curiosity of our journalers is alive and well. I have a question for you - how is your Brazillian? I remember you declared that you would keep it? How is that going?
1. penny penny : 7:54am - Tuesday 12 December 2006 #
The Brazilian thanks you for your enquiry into its health. It is doing well and is looking forward to its Christmas perperation maintenance this week. The Brazilian wishes you a safe and happy festive season.

Those brazilians are such a friendly bunch. I'm impressed you have stuck with it. Smile

Believe me, the "benefits" are worth it Wink

I gathered that from reading your journal Razz

Why would they come back considering all the name calling that I watched them take from many users on here?
1. jevon jevon : 7:19am - Tuesday 12 December 2006 #
The pending new Journals features will help prevent rampant anonymous name calling! Wink

Not before time either. How many writers do we need to lose before this finally comes into effect?
1. penny penny : 6:29am - Sunday 17 December 2006 #
Once again, the cowardly anon rears their head Confused

Given a large percentage of the writers lost were all the same person, I'd say its no great loss lol Amused
2. francis francis : 7:23am - Tuesday 12 December 2006 #
That is a good point. I would like to call for us all to come together and not call each other unpleasant names

Yeah, I miss those two too Sad.

But lol @ tepid windless waters of LJ.

I wonder...

Did Richard know Stacey was behind the fakers? If not, she has made him look pretty stupid

From Richard's journal and I quote

"The fact that I've learnt how to deal with our differences (which is due to the help of Natalie) makes me realise for sure that this thing between Stacey and I has to be the real deal."

Hmmm...

And he goes on to describe her:

"She is a genuine nice person, who doesn't play mind games"

Only if she was talking to Richard as "Natalie" then isnt that conceivably mind games?

Just thinking...

It seems to me that this kind of cynical speculation is likely to retard our efforts to bring back Richard and Stacey.

Retard and Richard in the same sentence. How appropriate Wink

And you would be???? Penny?? Oh my, what a surprise.
1. penny penny : 6:32am - Sunday 17 December 2006 #
I have, yet again, no idea what you are talking about Anon. Find some proof before you go accusing people.

Richard must be pretty boring to live with if Stacey has to create a multitude of fake identities to pass the time lol Laugh Out Loud

Any excuse to take a potshot at him with you huh? It was obvious from the outset that you had a problem with him. Dude you should have just stood up and admitted it.
1. thewickerman thewickerman : 10:21pm - Saturday 16 December 2006 #
Not really, I'd do it even without an excuse lol Laugh Out Loud

It was also obvious from the outset that they are both morons, but you dont see them standing up to admit that do you lol Laugh Out Loud

I kinda wish that the "fake" journal users would come back. Their journals were somewhat interesting to read....

So do you think Stacey made up "Kim" as well?
1. francis francis : 4:47pm - Tuesday 12 December 2006 #
I do.
1. jevon jevon : 4:32am - Wednesday 13 December 2006 #
I don't know...
1. penny penny : 6:12am - Wednesday 13 December 2006 #
I think it was the same person who created the other fake journals yes.
1. seraphyna seraphyna : 8:18am - Wednesday 13 December 2006 #

1. penny penny : 8:35am - Wednesday 13 December 2006 #
I also have my suspicions about Ashley and Kyle Sad
1. seraphyna seraphyna : 8:46am - Wednesday 13 December 2006 #
OMG i was *just* looking at her journal today too and was thinking - is she fake too?

But i dont think they are. I dunno, i just dont get the same feeling from her journal as I get from the fake people's journals.
*shrug*
1. francis francis : 9:57am - Wednesday 13 December 2006 #
Ashley and Kyle have many of the symptoms of fake journalers. All we need now is their porn site.
1. penny penny : 10:20am - Wednesday 13 December 2006 #
"symptoms" - ha! I love it!
2. seraphyna seraphyna : 12:52pm - Wednesday 13 December 2006 #

1. francis francis : 4:30pm - Wednesday 13 December 2006 #

Interesting. I'm posting anonymously for my own reasons, but I promise I am very real, and that I am telling the truth Smile

I don't know Richard, but I do know Stacey. Personally, and in real life. Quite well, actually. She's a great kid, but she does have a problem. Someone with her particular problem might be described by psychologists as a "facticious liar"*.

This is not intended as name-calling, but is the nearest I can come to an explanation for her behaviour. I knew her (initially online) in a previous "life" as Hailey Te Momo (or Hailey Coley). "Hailey" had a bunch of friends and family, many of whom I have been amused to find recycled on this BB (Alana, Tim, Debbie, etc.)

The borrowing of (usually the more innocent examples of) images of porn stars (and the occasional obscure celeb) was also part of "Hailey's" MO. These too have been recycled.

Sadly, I was duped into believing Hailey was an HIV victim, and this was very painful at the time.

More happily, I was eventually able to establish the truth, which was that Hailey was really Stacey, and that she wasn't ill after all. It may seem weird to some, but I preferred the truth, and was happy to forgive. If the episode taught me one thing, it was that I have a "truth drive" stronger than anything I knew I had within me!

Yes, I eventually met Hailey, erm I mean Stacey, and like I said, she's a pretty cool girl. But she has this amazing "creative" streak which could maybe use a little redirection Smile

So well done, Francis -- you (and a couple of others it seems) got to work it out this time around. Hopefully the upset has been less traumatic here!

In any event, I hope the guys here will share my view that a little storytelling was meant as a creative outlet, and not intentionally to cause harm.

With apologies for a slightly enigmatic post, wishing you all well (including Stacey & Richard of course!),

A friend.

*P.S. If anyone reading is interested, I just found this short piece on a subject I may very well not have come across had it not been for the lady in question!

people makeing up stories is one thing, but to take it to the point of getting involved, first as friends and then as more than friends (supposedly) with someone online and letting that person send them things and call them (international of course) and racking up big phone bills.. after "knowing"??? "hailey" for about 8 months, thats when she found out she had gotten HIV from her awfully abusive father,.. her mother had died in a car accident when she was real young... of course there was Debbie, Tim, Alana, and shortly before she "passed away" in sept 2003 of HIV, she had a daughter, Andrea.
if anyone even cares... the pictures she said were her that i later found out werent of course can be seen at www.texascoeds.com/sarah warning there is nudity if anyone would care to email there stories about the fakeness of this person, my email is alexei27pens@hotmail.com
