Aug. 13th, 2005 06:45 pm More on the lady that committed suicide on the freeway the other day, courtesy of the Orange County Register. As you may recall, she jumped out of a stretch hummer-limo at 75mph.
"Jessica feared a recent suicide attempt and a couple of missed appointments with a social worker would mean she would not be allowed to see her children again. ... Jessica was upset Vincent [her boyfriend] might leave her, too ... [a friend] confirmed her suicide attempt, sparked by a brief breakup with her boyfriend. ... Shortly after that split, the two reunited in a Santa Ana mental hospital; Vincent said he'd gotten drunk and driven the wrong way down a freeway ... Vincent said he's a musician in the German techno band Klash. Jessica was a "tagalong" who did graphics for the band, he said. ... Vincent, his short, dark hair spiked and dyed purple and wearing playboy bunny earrings and an oversized rhinestone necklace, recalled tripping over his girlfriend's dismembered leg after nearly being hit by a car. ... [The next day] Vincent checked himself into an Anaheim hospital for psychiatric evaluation. ... [at one point the night before the suicide, Jessica] Rowe's boyfriend suggested she stay in the limousine and went into the [Standard hotel on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood] alone. During the hour they were parked nearby, Rowe listened to Rammstein and danced on the sidewalk, at one point trying to dance with a homeless man. The boyfriend returned with four other people (...a 23-year-old male model they had met a few hours earlier and three of his friends...) [The $3000 limo bill was put on a credit card that] did not not belong to any of the occupants, police said. ... Costa Mesa police said that the investigation into Jessica's death has expanded into possible credit-card fraud. ... On Thursday the Irvine apartment where the Hummer went to pick up the couple for their night on the town was posted with an eviction notice.
I could add my own commentary but I think there are some pretty obvious conclusions here. I'd love to hear your thoughts though.
The Land of Thud
The Land of Thud is a region on Nationstates.net, in which 3 billion people live in ten nation-states. 37% of these people live in the region's largest country, The Glorious Dominion of Blehtahepdakorum. I just noticed that the official description of the region has recently been changed. It currently reads:The Land of Thud is the ancestral home of the Thuddites. Its Officially Unofficial Religion is Discordianism, and while all drugs seem to be readily available there is an ominous lack of hot dog buns.
I'd like to comment that (1) the officially official religion is blogtheism, all dissenters will be sent to reeducation camps. (2) Drugs are not readily available in Blehtahepdakorum, we have one of the world's most pervasive police forces! (3) the eunuch tyrant of Blehtahepdakorum is looking to regulate sexual activity in his state. (4) with 98% of the military forces in the region, Blehtahepdakorum is looking to impose its enlightened policies on its neighbours.
The rights loving commie-pinko states maintain an odd harmony with the oppressive, iron-fisted dictatorships which some think is linked to the amazingly high rates of sexual activity found throughout the entire region (discounting the castle of the eunuch tyrant of Blehtahepdakorum).
Picture of the Day

this is what you wake up to if you're caught not being a blogtheist in Blehtahepdakorum. People in this situation often exclaim "omgwtf, why is there honeycomb in my bedroom?!
