 		Myspace BB Message from Thomas
and other updates
I found this message from Thomas posted on my bulletin board section of myspace. Did others get it as well?

Quote:
Date: Apr 20, 2007 11:11 AM
Subject sorry everyone.. someone phished my account
Body: I apologize for the ad that popped up from me earlier today.
Myspace just notified me that someone phished my account.
It may be time to find somewhere else to keep in touch.
Take care
Thomas


I didn't see the ad, so I don't know what that's about.

Hmm, somewhere else to keep in touch? No more myspace? (Fingers crossed)

ETA: Making the rounds on the other myspace accounts, one can find these changes...
Mister Alan Johnson has posted this poem.
Quote:
Friday, April 20, 2007

A poem for Mr. Alan Johnson (wherever moi may be)

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that Spoocheeeee would last forever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

-- W.H. Auden


"Spoocheeeee" has replaced "love" in the original poem (link).

Higgs has a new avatar "Corona Beauty" and left this message on Happy's MySpace

Ditto on Betty's comment. Peeps (he'll always be Peeps to me) just called my cell. He asked me to urge you to let it go, Happy. He also asked that we trust him. Then he rambled on about his garden not being ready and something about more being revealed this summer. I agree with you that this is totally weird, but let's just sit on it for now. How 'bout a drink at Father's Office tonight or tommorow?
out
Higgs


So sometime this summer, I'll be looking for Thomas' Garden Party.

ETA2: Oh, and there are a bunch of Happy Birthday wishes for Betty on her MySpace. from Trinket, Addison, Happy, Higgs, and Thomas.

I'm loving the new music on their profiles.

Corona kona!

How's life with you? All good here. Can't complain. I've spent the last few months checking out the world. Still no job. My bank account will soon be tapping out. I did work at the Holiday Villa for like a week. Disaster. Someone thought I would get into working with older people, but the place just depressed me. So, I guess my search for myself continues. Happy is setting me up with some feel good find yourself thing at this woo woo place she goes to in the Palisades. She's such a worrier, but an awesome friend. Cool to hear from you.

I was happily surprised to see you had checked your MySpace recently. How are things going for you and your mom in your new life?
I know all of your online Sammeeeee friends hope you had a great Christmas & Happy New Year!
Stay in touch?

Hi Kona,
Very cool to hear from you! Everything is okay with me and my Mom. Mom's been wicked (everyone here in Topsfield says wicked Wink busy with her new job. She travels a ton. In fact she's on a business trip this weekend and I'm staying in Amherst with Peeps sister, Sara. Oh yeah I hardly ever check into myspace anymore. My Mom thinks I should spend more time with kids my own age. She kinda asked me to stay away from the sammeeeees. I miss everybody so much. Have you heard from Addison or Happy? Higgs writes me once in a while. So does Trinket. And Betty came to visit my Mom like a month ago. She was kinda weird to me. I gotta go, Kona. Thanks for writing to me. Hey, we saved the world!!!!!
Smile
Kevin (Dwin is forever a sammeeeee!!!!!)

 		I think I'm worried about Dwin, he said Trinket writes him, but if I remember correctly, Trinket was killed by AJ in the first one...

 		true... he is the person who spent much of his time around AJ...

Speaking of trinket, forgive me if this was part of the endgame and I just missed it, but the letters Betty has from trinket up on her flickr page, were those ever used?

Nope, he seemed to have gone soft and ...

She is still alive. So the mystery of her sister is still a possible subject for a sequel.

I think they just proved that it was Trinket who led the Sammeeeees into that trap at the cemetery for them to be captured by Mr AJ's jackels. That Mr AJ was leading her along with the promise he could reunite her with Tutu.

 		So here are my all but brief updates to include.

Nothing too exciting, other than Kona mentioning a while back that Peeps had updated his flickr account, so I though I would nosey around myspace, and found that betty had changed hers too, and since it also mentioned her birthday was last week I sent her birthday wishes!

Quote:
I have a busy week coming up Betty so incase I am not around, I wanted to wish you a very happy birthday! <3


and her little reply

Quote:
hey sally,
great to hear from you! hope all is well with you and the other sammeeeees.
betty


As i said, Nothing story breaking, but it made my heart skip a beat!
Im so excited.

Certainly looks like maybe someone in the old Spoocheeeee organization is not too happy at what we all did.

I haven't seen anything posted on the video showing the reversal of the power. The disk pieces are no longer. I did keep the snake for personal protection.

I agree with everyone else. Let's just keep quiet and stay vigilant. Keep our ears & eyes open.....let them make the first moves. We don't know who they are looking for, who they might be targeting.

Dwin logged in the other day (I don't think his mom wants him to be online too often). In fact, sounds like she doesn't want him to have anything to do with any of the Sammeeeees. I can understand. Not too many parents feel comfortable if their kids are involved with a group of adults (who also got themselves kidnapped). Our ecclectic group ranges from 15-55 but we've been pretty safe for a few years - and don't allow anyone under 18 at our gatherings without parent supervision.

Meanwhile, how did things go with Addison hanging out at your house? I mean, last we heard, your husband was still in Japan but.......
Did Ben get a chance to take his SATs?
Have you seen Higgs lately? I'm worried he'll be hanging around The Office and turn into a real alcoholic.
Is Trinket doing okay? I see she posted on Betty's comments - so at least we know she is still alive. I hope she can find closure someday.

I love that you will always be Happy, and hope we will always be friends.

Hey kona,

I agree with you about Spoocheeeee not being too pleased with any of us, but without the disk I don't see how they can seek revenge. I'm sort of laying low. Basically I'm watching everywhere but not talking to any Sammeeeees (other than you) about it.

It seems very strange to me that Cathy/Patricia would ask Dwin to keep away from me. He and I became very close during our "stay" with Mr. Alan Johnson and it seems to me that it would be good for Dwin to learn about how to maintain relationships. The poor kid has been through so much.

Addison stayed with me until the beginning of January. He's still having a hard time. I think work is one of his great escapes. He also joined some group at St. John's. They're some sort of support group for people that have suffered losses similar to his.

My husband (Jayne calls him the big fat idiot), I believe, is still in Japan. We will be officially divorced in August. I am so over him right now! He's made no gesture to stay in touch with Ben. Ben's really hurt, although he never says so. I've left a million messages with the big fat idiot and there has not been one response. Other than that, Ben's good. School and testing all great.

Higgsy! I just saw him two nights ago. We met for one drink. Higgs had two and I had one. Yeah, I agree. He's too much the party boy these days. I just keep hoping its a phase. He's such a sweetie, but also very private. I can never quite tell what's really going on in his head. I tried to get him to talk the other night, but he avoids saying anything personal.

About Trinket and Betty - Well, I don't know really. Betty hasn't been great about staying in touch. And Trinket only seems to reach out to Betty. I can understand, they are much closer in age. Trinket looks up to Betty like a big sister. Back to Betty - I can't put my finger on it, but something seems odd to me about Betty running off to Ojai. What is she doing up there? And where did she get the money to take all this time off? Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I feel like there's something going on that I don't know about. I asked Higgs about it and he said I'm simply looking for another ARG or non-ARG. Ha! I will keep looking. I promise I will write if I ever find anything new.
So great to hear from you!
I'm still Happy!


What is up with Betty? She visited Cathy (see Dwin's email). When did Betty get chummy with Cathy?

New job? New money? I hate to spec this....but we were always suspicious of Cathy, weren't we? Is Betty still under Mr Abbott's spell?

Is Cathy still a secret Spoocheeeee? She is keeping Dwin close to Peeps (to keep an eye on Thomas?). She certainly would have had access to Mr AJ's MySpace (and probably knew all his passwords).

Where is the Tall Man? Maybe he can shed some light on this?

TOTAL SPEC
As the original group of players well know - I do not like Patty/Cathy at all! All that Dancing with so many men Shocked - and I have never trusted her. Dwin was set to be the new Alan Johnson before, I can just see Patty/Cathy having a struggle, figuring out how to make ends meet with a child & not making the money she did before when Spoocheeeee was financing her lifestyle. May be very tempting for her to try and continue to mold Dwin into a "new" Spoocheeeee leader, and with her the "power" behind the "man" (the place she liked to be before) she could negotiate for the finacial backing to continue her lifestyle.

Great opportunity for a plot line Cool

Quote:

Wednesday, April 25, 2007


How do I love theeeee?

How do I love theeeee? Let me count the ways.
I love theeeee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love theeeee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love theeeee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love theeeee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love theeeee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love theeeee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints!---I love theeeee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!---and, if God choose,
I shall but love theeeee better after death.


This along with the last poem makes me think we are looking for a spoocheeeeeislove type site

PostScript: I had shot Happy a message letting her know that I was moving and she responded back nicely today.... the "I'm still Happy" thing was in there again. I'm wondering if it is a statement or if she is trying to convince herself.

 		The Original Poem
Quote:
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861)

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

 		Off Topic
This is off-topic, but I thought it one of those odd ARG coincidences that stick in your head and thought I'd share because it gave me a giggle.

I live in a really rural Canadian area (the kind with a gas pump and a general store)... and while I was playing Sammeeeees, one day I went to this "general store", and just after I pulled in I looked to my left at this van that had pulled in beside me. Written on the side was:

Otis Elevator
Sales & Service

You have to understand I live in a very spread out country community of maybe 300 people. And while it might be a common site for some people? ~ in all my years on this earth I've never seen a vehicle with that particular signage. I half expected the guys to grab me and try to shove me in the back ... lol

I'm sure he was lost. Very Happy
