LOL!

Man, I hate it when that happens...

I admit it. My boss had me sign up for Twitter because she wanted me to pimp her jewelry business (which I was glad to do; and that’s ALL I do there about once a month.)

Now I have all of these creepy guys ‘following’ me who type just like your sample, unlike here at FR where the guys can at least pester you in complete, comprehensive sentences, LOL!

My first reaction was belief, followed by unbelief. Unbelief won. The date is wrong: if you check in Google News, you’ll see that her death was reported in the Croatian Times on June 17th. Also, and a dead givewaway—her first post talks of how much she loves Twittering, but it’s her FIRST post. Where are all the others?

How could she have so many followers? I don’t understand twitter..nor do I wish to...Just as well..it’s all very morbid.

Dang! I should have realized those tweets were a tad overcooked. Valley girl talk. Mac Book, so boss! Joking about US stereotypes of her country.

This article reports that her real name was Flavia Boricea, not Maria Barbu. The memorial blog linked from the article is dated 15 June, another discrepancy. Her father found her dead with a burn mark on her left palm.
