ok so was looking for a mate info post in twitter [new to it] and did a search on #arg, was scrolling through then found http://twitter.com/AtalantaV

Thanks

Its intersting, she has a yahoo profile "blog?", facebook and twitter. She put an #arg tag, I think we just have to wait and see.

from the twitter for Vanessa Atalanta we get
Vanessa's profile on Yahoo!
which has a blog. She also mentions a Facebook, which I haven't found yet.

p.s., a moderator could change the title of the thread, or Crescent could do it, "twitter account" is too generic for a topic, especially with other sites already coming into play. I'd suggest "[trailhead] Vanessa Atalanta"

This Vanessa Atalanta has the same avatar as the one on Yahoo: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000521718786&ref=search&sid=1066043532.1406145535..1

Says her favorite quote is 'Angulus Ridet [Greenwich!]
Wikipedia says :
The term Latin angulus ridet, literally translated, means this corner makes me happy (Horace, Odes, II, 6, 13).
The complete phrase is: "Semper ille terrarum mihi praeter omnis angulus ridet."
The term describes the small things and pretty secluded places where, far from the chaos, finds happiness.
Source

She's got a new post from an hour ago :
"got a key, odd number on it, oh well. off to his house and desk. hope everyone well - lolcatz a bit too close to home today.."

She has 'Has Cheezburger' as what she's following. I'll go check the site to see if there's anything somewhat related.

Edit ::
Wow, worst lag I've ever gotten on Icanhascheezeburger
One thing that caught my eye was the picture titled 'Body?' with a cat sitting atop a rolled up carpet. All the others seem to have no connection. Only reason I thought this was is because she mentions it being close to home, mentions earlier on that she 'can't lose him too' meaning she's lost other people before. 'only he has answers'. It just sounds like something went down in the past that has been covered up. The picture and this may have no connection what so ever, but, that's my take on it.

Whatever happened, seems to have happened 10 years ago. From her Yahoo! blog:

Quote:
can't believe it was 10 years ago. still, time's always been odd for me.


Vanessa atalanta: The Red Admiral or Vanessa atalanta (previously also known as Pyrameis atalanta) is a well-known colourful butterfly, found in temperate Europe, Asia and North America. The species is resident only in warmer areas, but migrates north in spring, and sometimes again in autumn.

It looks like her twitter and facebook profile pics are a closeup of this butterfly.[/url][/quote]

This family-tree keeps coming up.
She mentions a website that she's using instead of Ancestry, Genes Reunited i think she called it. If it's free, it may also be all public.
It may be a good place to start looking for more information.

It may not be the 10 years ago link, but it's a lead.

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/register.asp?wci=search&relation_forename=Vanessa&relation_surname=atalanta

Need to register to see results,I think, but there is one family tree found.
Registering now.

Edit ::
Seems these are the only results. No 'J' found.
I can't seem to find a way to view Vanessa's full tree - she may have not made it as of yet.

I'm thinking about contacting her via yahoo or twitter and mentioning finding her via the '#ARG' that was posted and asking if her uncle is doing any better. I think if I do that, I'll wait until her next tweet - she mentioned going to the uncle's house with that key she found with the 'strange number' on it.

Edit2 :: Just noticed
the entry I.S. is in her tree as well. The posting says it's from the US.

The thing with this site is that while you can get some info for free, they use this 'pay per view credit' shit that pretty much restricts you from anything useful.

I added her as a friend on Facebook and I'm waiting for her confirmation. Some of her profile information is hidden, unless you friend her.

I didn't have any luck on the Genes Reunited site past what Telos954 found and I'm not paying to view further information. I'll send her a message on that site, as well. It says you can view another member's family tree if you message them? Not really sure how that works, but it's worth a shot.

Edit: You have to upgrade your account to send a message on that site? LOL, no.

It'd be sad if this was one big plug for that site .__.
Any way, I followed her on twitter, I'll friend her on Facebook, too.
Kept her yahoo bookmarked. Wondering what she's going to find in the desk...

Possibly a complete coindcidence, but just throwing this out there after looking at the Twitter, Yahoo and Facebook profiles.

The last Twitter post she put up ended in "lolcatz a bit too close to home today.."

While the last Lolcats picture she posted (on Facebook) had the caption "I found pills and ate them." (The cat looks all excited and whatnot).

Just an observation.

EDIT: Either way, I added her as a friend on FB so I'll see if anything comes of that.
EDIT 2: Aaaand, I just remembered her uncle is sick, so this actually makes a little sense if it's the case.

No, it could be. Like I said, it was just an observation, completely unfounded. But keep your eyes open, she could be connecting hints between the different accounts like that.

Lots of activity on this one in the past few hours.

3 new tweets:

Quote:
loadza papers in the desk.what does unc want? he wants everything online for people-why i don't know, but said i'll need friends to help me.


Quote:
getting more networky blogged again - gettin used to this LOL


Quote:
off to church now - poor alfrege, will arrive just after service. give me time to be in silence again though


2 new blog posts (although it's a double posting of the same entry):
blog post

Vanessa also updated a new lolcat to her facebook. The lolcat caption says, "You forgot the keys...again".


I also received a facebook message when she accepted my friend request:

Quote:
unsure how i know you but always good to have friends at this time. you like lol catz? my uncle johan isn't so well at moment so apols if not gonna be online for a while - he's asked me to look at his paper work - he's given me his key for his desk - somewhere i was never allowed as a child to go. seems odd now. key has an odd number on it too: 73939133 oh well, off to the desk. speak to you soon. V


I just woke up, but the name "Alfege" in her tweet might be a reference to St. Alfege. He was an archbishop who was killed by Danish pirates. St Anselm said of him, "He who dies for Justice dies for God" . There is also a St. Alfege Church in Greenwich, where Vanessa lives.

I'm also kind of freaked out by her obsession with lolcats.

Edit: I tried the number 73939133 as a password for her genes reunited account. It didn't work.

Edit 2: Don't know if it means anything, but 73939133 is the largest right-truncatable prime number.

73939133
7393913
739391
73939
7393
739
73
7

I got the same Facebook message. Jumped on real quick to post it, my sister's on the computer. I'm gonna start messing around with the number when I get on later.
