Okay, what the hell is going on?
Yesterday I got a Facebook friend request from Leslie Cochran. The name didn’t sound familiar, and the profile picture sure as hell didn’t ring any bells. (It is really a doozie of a pic. Bearded, long haired man wearing a tank top and stuffed bra. Floating purple hearts superimposed on the pic.)
I know some people who would dress like that as a joke, but his face just didn’t look familiar. So I clicked to be taken to his page and found this in his intro box:
Leslie Alicia Cochran (born as Al Leslie Cochran on June 24, 1951) is a vagrant cross-dresser and arguably the most locally famous street person in Austin, Texas. He is an outspoken critic of police treatment of the homeless in downtown Austin
Interesting. How he heard of me and thought to send a friend request who knows. (Or got access to a computer if he is homeless! I guess the library…)
Either it’s a big joke or this guy is for real. No telling.
I thought about whether to confirm or ignore his request overnight. I decided he looks far too much like Charles Manson for me to take the chance pissing him off by ignoring him. (No joke! The resemblance is flipping uncanny!)
I accepted him as a friend today.
But also today as I was trying to catch up on both personal emails and Haunt Jaunts business, a rather innocent and harmless one about link swapping led me to Old West Ghost Investigations site and a suicide threat!
That really tripped me out. I’m still shaken up about it and my conscious won’t rest until I figure out if this is a hoax or a legitimate cry for help –one people can be in time to respond to. Shoot, all I can think is the lady sent me the email Monday. She could have done herself in by now. (If she was the one who also posted that plea on the site. There’s no name attached to it.)
I’m praying fiercly it all turns out to be a hoax. Pissed as I’ll be, at least no one’s life is in jeopardy!
Wow. What a wacko week! And its only Wednesday!!!!!!!
