First and foremost: [profile] demiurgician, I am alive and well. Thank you so much for your concern! It's wonderful to know I have friends who care so much. Now, to figure out who in the hell is using my AIM.

Secondly (to explain what's going on): It's 1:45 am. I hear these rocks being thrown at my bedroom window (which is on the third floor). Have to say, it freaks me out a lot. But, to make the rock throwing stop, I peek my head out the window and say to the individual down below, "Do you need to be let in?" And then I hear him say, "Oh my god, you're alive." Turns out, it's my friend [profile] heeroahearn. This, of course, makes little sense to me. But he tells me that my friend Angela is at my door and to go talk to her. So I go to the door, and sure enough she's there.

Apparently, someone has confiscated my AIM account and is saying highly disgusting, highly inappropriate things while using it. [profile] demiurgician, who lives in England, figures out that it's not me and is freaked out, so she calls [profile] heeroahearn, who lives in the same town as me. He and Angela drive by my apartment to make sure I'm okay, that someone hasn't come into the apartment and killed both my roomie and I and is using my AIM. And being the incredibly amazing people that they are, they aren't satisfied until they've actually talked to me or the roomie. Hence the rocks on my window.

Never fear, guys. I'm fine. Thank you so, so much for checking up on me. Despite the adrenaline rush of fear, I have to say, it means more to me than I can ever express that you guys care so much.

I'm glad you're ok, and thanks for the post. It took me all of 10 seconds to suspect it wasn't you due to the "net speak" dat i think u hate 2 :)

Just so you know, they knew your last name and what state you live in, so it's either a 15 year old you know, or that stuff is in your profile.

Ha! I still have the conversation open! Without posting the much more innappropriate things said later, here's what initially tipped me off:

XphileHB: hey
demiurgician: sup
XphileHB: nm u
demiurgician: meh
XphileHB: wat have u been up to
demiurgician: messing around on the internets
XphileHB: like wat
demiurgician: not much, avoiding the dissertation
XphileHB: o cool
demiurgician: you?
XphileHB: nuttin really
demiurgician: heather is that really you?

Um, yeah. That is definitely not me. I haven't even been on AIM in months. As much as I'm trying not to let it, this is really freaking me out. And I'm wondering what to even do to solve the problem. I guess I'll track down AOL's number and give them a call tomorrow. I've also changed my AIM password, so we'll see if that helps.

I think it would freak me out too, but seriously, I could tell by the tone of the conversation that it's just some stupid kid that thinks this is a funny thing to do, nothing to worry too much about :-)

Too bad about the aggravation, but isn't the whole thing fascinating in it's own way. Without anybody phoning, all through the internet, your friend [livejournal.com profile] demiurgician was able to get a local friend to check on you.

It sure raises questions about some kids having far too much time on their hands, and no idea about constructive use of said time.

You're right. It is rather fascinating. And I'm still all warm and fuzzy knowing I've got such great friends.
