I don’t/won’t care if I get one or not because I try not to be a drama-queen. Also, I’ll be, y’know…dead. Opal was and would have cared, and she’d been delighted with this thread. She posted about gross details of her poop on several occasions\*. She posted about her surgeries. She posted wedding vids online and so on and so on and so on. There weren’t many events in her life that She didn’t happily spew across the internet _and she preferred it that way_.

I’ve had to learn things that other people know instinctively. For example, I wouldn’t tell a stranger at a bus stop that I have diarrhea. Anymore. But I had to learn that. As I’ve grown up, I’ve accepted that being extremely open is just part of “who I am” and not something that I can or want to change.

As for whether anyone else gives a rat’s ass, that’s up to each person and their own rat ass. However, it is an important part of who I am and how I interact with the world. (Yes, it’s an old quote. Her acting on this kind of behavior _escalated_ from here. See the “Tee-hee! My blow jobs pictures are all over the internet. Woopsie!” incident) She would have _loved_ this thread. So fuck off, you whiney twat. \*And started fights with the mods when said threads were closed. ---

I for one did not know Heroin Jack was addicted to heroin. ---

> [@Green\_Cymbeline](#): > > I’ve seen the arrest for controlled substances back in the year 2000. 15 years ago. But I am still waiting for a cite that he was a “heroin addict.” That just bugs me that because someone was arrested for possession 15 years ago, all of a sudden he’s an “addict.” Can someone finally explain that?? Not fifteen years ago. Four years ago. Live warrants during the time he was with Opal. I already showed you upthread. And frankly I’d put my money on meth rather than heroin, but “Tweaker Jack” didn’t have quite the same poetic heft as “Heroin Jack.” ---

What happens after I’m dead, _stays_ after I’m dead. 😃 It’s not like it’s gonna jump backwards in time and annoy me during the remainder of my lifetime. And once I’m dead, either there’s some sort of _apres vie_, or not. If there is, I doubt that such things will concern me anymore. And if there isn’t, then I will simply _not be_, and I _know_ such things won’t concern me anymore. 😃 ---

He had a warrant out more recently for “probation violation.” I keep asking this, but where did you get “Heroin Jack” from? Where did the idea of him as a drug addict come from? Did you just pull it out of your ass?
