Whoa, Nellie!

This evening, I ran a search for "Moline" (my hometown in Illinois) on Technorati. I figured I might find a few blogs by locals - just curious. A few pages in, I found a link to a blog talking about the FBI, prostitution, the local Moline ABC affiliate (just down the street from the house where I grew up), and a whole lot of other random stuff. I clicked and started to read.

It only took me two entries to realize that I had discovered the journal of a clearly unhinged woman. My guess would be that she is an unmedicated paranoid schizophrenic. Poor thing. She thinks the people at Hancock Fabrics are after her. So is the FBI. She believes that she was programmed to be a prostitute. She also believes someone stole her boyfriend's identity and used his name to go on ABC World News Tonight (via the Moline studios) to defame her and proclaim that most strippers in America are plus-size women. (WTF?)

I hope some mental health professional back in the Quad Cities stumbles upon this poor thing's pages. It's fascinating and sad and frightening. And while I feel very bad for her, I'd like to warn my family and friends to be very careful when going to the fabric store. Avoid eye contact with the disheveled woman mumbling about strippers and the FBI...
