I need to blow some serious steam. Where to begin...we'll perhaps about 1 year ago when this whole thing started. I thought I'd made a great friend in someone who I'd met on a local doll meet and the when she approached me online I started speaking to her on a daily basis and little did I know that I was creating this huge monster that would follow me in everything I did and everywhere I stepped online. Have you ever had something simmilar happen to you? A person up and trying to clone your whole style? I mean this person basically used my Flickr to obtain my contacts through my faves and then slowly started to clone my style and online behaviour to a point that makes me sick. I have talked to other flickr pals about this who have shared simmilar experiences and they seem horrified by this happening to them too :( When I say clone I mean it. This girl copied from the way I styled my dolls, to the style of clothes I make for them, to the camera lens I wanted to get, to all the toys and figures I fave and want to get. She only collected bjds and I introduced her to Blythes and dals (who suppossedly she didn't like) I even SOLD HER ONE of my Blythe girls *cries* And now she's getting blythes and dals and even taeyangs??? Worse of all she still can't take a good picture (or even focus it for that matter) or know how to edit them, she as her husband do that for her too and does't give him credit). I have been holding this in for so long but it's just too much to stand anymore. I mean seriously I told her I wanted I light tent and some nice lighting for indoors (since I tend to take pics late) and its too dark and she got that too. Then I start making mosaics to display my pics on flickr and what do you know she started doing that too. OMG like I'm flattered and all that this person seems to look up to me so much but I don't need that in my life, its too complicated with other things at it is and this doll, photography, toy collecting hobby was the only thing that used to relax me from everyday tensions. Now its become a nightmare on clone street and it just won't stop. She's always snooping through my things and getting everything I want first. I would tell her about a doll, or toy I got and I hadn't even finishing describing it well and the next day she was already posting pics of the ones she got before I even had a chace to post pics of mine. How do you even react to such crazy behaviour??? I've tried so many approaches but nothing seems to work and I just wish I could go back in time and not have schooled her in my ways without knowing it. This perosn has wayyy too much time in her hands to keep spying on my activities its driving me insane. Also the worst part is that she keeps pretending to be this uber nice and sweet person to everyone else in forums and flickr when she is obviously not. To top things off worst she takes all this credit for being this person she is NOT and most of it its her husband who actually does everything for her from taking pics for forum contests (and her taking the entire credit for doing so) to giving people bjd aesthetic tips and tutorials when he's the one who paints all their dolls. He rearranged her Flcir into sets and took off a lot of the really bad pics she had and now mostly posts the shot he takes and she has the nerve to go and block ME haha when I should be the one runing for the hlls to begin wth XD Even worse than that is that after shes done snooping around she will make posts about things as if she knew anything about what she's talking about and she gets all her info from wikipedia XD Its hilarious. One time I told her about my favorite childhood anime Candy Candy and she decided to watch the whole thing and review it to everyone on the forum like she knew everything about this series she'd never even heard of prior to me talking to her about it *cringes* What's eveeeen worse is that her husband really IS someone who likes all this stuff like videogames, anime (I mean a doll/bjd lover who isn't into anime and manga? really?) she's just leeching off of him too and pretending to be this whole persona she is not when the one who likes all this stuff is him and others she's copied from. *UBERSIGH* Well it doesn't even stop there because I've talked to other people who know her and they've told me she's done simmilar things to them too such as copyig things they wanted to buy or things they did like craft hobbies and such. To top things off I once tried to confront her about this and she acted all innocent like as if she wasn't doing any of this even though she wrote me an email stating a ton of things (that I hadn't even pointed out to her yet) that she copied from me XD Too much really omg helpppppp me! Ok if you have nay ideas seriously let me know what you've done in a simmilar situation? I think I might just start doing the same but how do you copy someone who's copying you? :P *crawlsintoasafeplaceandshuddersofcreepiness*
