Freak of the Week #9 -- Dave, aka "Granny"
08/05/1999

Not only did this idiot write me repeatedly as himself... he then wrote me repeatedly pretending to be a woman (see last week's freak). The fact that he spent SO much of his precious, enlightened time on me is so flattering. I have to question how someone of such intelligence could have bothered to fess up to his lies and idiocy in the end here because I never would have known. The following is the last mail I got from him, admitting the insanity. After that are a few quotes from his mails as 'granny' along with the very first emails exchanged between us that I had originally decided not to post because he offered an apology at the end. After all his efforts and gender bending, I decided it just wouldn't be right not to post them. Comments by me are added in red. :)

<cut some crap here, just to piss off Dave>

I think what I've meant to say all along, and I'll try to put it simply, without sarcasm and as grammatically foolproof as possible.

You are a pretty girl. (thanks) You have an interesting website. I find it remarkable that anyone would want people to peer into their bedroom (no cam in my bedroom last time I checked) like you do. What I take umbrage (umbrage?) to (and this is entirely OPINION, and the last time I checked the Constitution, I was allowed to share it) (yes you are...and so am I, cool how that works.) is the fact that you portray yourself on the surface as a woman who likes to flirt, tease and show off body parts. (And this is a huge problem for you?) To quote another one of your writers (ummm YOU wrote this, Dave. I swear he doesn't know who he is anymore)... "If we met in person, we'd probably like each other." (I do know a few drag queens that I like) I am sure you are totally different in person, (not a bit, actually) but the image you portray ON THE SURFACE is someone who would enjoy dirty emails, dirty pics and the like. So, you get them. (I think Dave could get turned on by staring at a brick wall for too long) Then you choose to highlight them on line, edit their letters, (I do not edit, this is the first time I've even cut stuff or used quotes, but I will gladly forward entire emails to anyone who asks) pick what you feel you can attack, then do so in a way that inflates yourself. This precept is not only damaging to the poor sap who wrote you (and I think the daily newspaper tells of young people who are set off by a lot less) but can also be personally damaging. (If the 'poor sap' is warned repeatedly to stop doing something, and purposely continues, he/she has to accept the consequences) If this is the way you attract readers and sustain your hit count, then it's working. I just question the intent behind your malice. This malice can pour over into other facets of your life (personal relationships, domestic relationships and the like). (You question my intent? It's scary when someone who is so screwed up in the head actually tries to give out advice.)

Just know, Aimee, no matter what you do there will be always someone there to call your bluff. There will always be someone a bit smarter, a bit more well-spoken and someone who may point the mirror back at you enough so to make you disturbed at what you see; someone who can touch that nerve. (possibly, but it won't ever be you, Dave, no matter what dress you put on)

I wish to end this vociferous "back-and-forth". (I've heard this before ) If I must...you win. (well, I knew that but thanks so much for admitting it) It is your website. (A moment of clarity!) You can do what you want, say what you want and print what you want. Bottom line. I've shared a bit of my time with you in a negative fashion and am starting to regret it. My apologies for wasting yours. (I've heard this before, too)

Time to end the charade.

So..Dave has ovaries, that is pretty interesting, don't you think? Maybe that's what is wrong with him. I'm sure ovaries could really screw up a man's testosterone levels.

OK...not only ovaries, but breasts, too. I am glad Dave doesn't thrust his breasts in people's faces as it sounds like it would be quite traumatic to have a he/she thrust something bigger than a mosquito bite in your face. I wonder if pretending to be a female is one of his meaningful personal traits? I admire it. I also have to admire someone with the self respect to spend hours and hours writing someone they dislike so intensely and at the same time, pretend to be someone else. It must all be very confusing to keep up with. Sybil?

Why are you never live? I've checked bunches to see what the hype is about; why you are always in the number 1 spot. I have yet to log on and you be live. Frustrating to say the least. You must pay for votes.

I'm live for several hours every single day. If you wanted to know when...you could email me and ask it's generally around midnight EST lately. However, I do have a real life..and I do not get paid for doing this so sometimes I am not able to stop everything and get on cam. The 'hype' as you call it seems to be because even when I'm not live, the people who enjoy my site like to read my freak of the week letters. I've had a lot of publicity because of that. I get 2-3000 unique hits a day, so that is where the votes come from. (don't believe me? check my extreme.com box on my site) Trust me, I don't have the money to pay for anything. I'm too busy paying my mortgage. I don't think my site is better than anyone else's, and if you don't like it I will be glad to give you the urls of some sites I think are really great..some are even on 24/7. There are plenty of other things for you to do out there than to be 'frustrated with me. Any other snotty questions or comments, please let me know. I might even make this a freak of the week because I'm finding it amusing for some reason. Thanks.

Subject: Re:  

ummm...okay Aimee. I'll let you get on with your life of voyeurism, flaunting yourself so every 14 year old in the country can whack off. If your claim-to-fame is a webcam, more power to you. What's it like to peak at 20? Consider this my last "snotty" letter. I would be proud to be your freak of the week, or whatever. To bad I won't visit to enjoy it.

(hmmm at last count..I've gotten 14 emails from him..and he is obviously visiting me daily)

Have a wonderful life.

Subject: Re:  

Actually Dave, I'm way past 20...almost 30. I don't claim any fame. I could give a shit if you like the cam or not...I wouldn't expect everyone to like it. If 14 year olds find something on my site to whack off to then I'm really amazed. I may or may not have peaked yet..but it has nothing to do with my cam site, trust me. What you possibly don't understand is that this is just a small portion of my life. My career, my friends, my relationships..have nothing to do with this little site. It's hosted by AOL for god's sake..I didn't even bother to get my own domain name..I pay for nothing but dial up access. Get it? It's a personal home page...just like anyone else's. I never planned for it to become popular..and I don't understand why you'd get your knickers in a twist over it. Maybe you have a site yourself that isn't..I don't know. If that's the case..maybe you could be smart and ask for advice instead of trying to trash me...you certainly won't get anything out of it this way except for my long winded replies. Thanks for continuing to prove that some people are generally on this earth to annoy others.

Aimee
LIVE NOW by the way, idiot.

You're probably way over me already and may not even read this, but let me apologize. I have a penchant for being bitter at the ripe ol age of 31 (Lord help me when I'm 70; I'm crotchety already!). My first post was an inappropriate response to some confusion as to why I've never caught your show. My first letter was written to ellicit a response not quite as vehement as I received but in hopes that I might have been given an itenerary of sorts. I was out of line and I apologize. You'd probably like me in person, and so would I probably be charmed by your personality as much as I am by your glowing face.

Dave

<TRANSLATION>

(by Aimee's Freak to English translation service)

Dear Aimee...

I'm now going to dedicate my life to keeping up some sort of communication with you. As I type this, I am dressed up in my Mommy's best Sunday dress and I am trying to get into character so I can write you mean mails that make you cry. No matter how many times I tell you that I'm going to stop writing or going to your site, I will continue to do it because I have nothing better to do with my pathetic excuse for a life. Aren't I clever?
forever obsessed,

Dave/Granny/Human Void
I apologize for the length of this thing, but you know Dave gets upset when I don't post all his letters.
