Bumping this thread because…

Well, she’s been charged with two misdemeanor counts of obstructing officers. Each charge carries up to nine months in jail and a $10,000 fine.

From [CNN](http://edition.cnn.com/2004/US/Midwest/04/14/seiler.charged.ap/index.html)

> Friends said the two had been fighting, and Seiler’s roommate, Heather Thue, told officers that Fisher did not pay as much attention to Seiler as she wanted. Seiler’s mother told police her daughter had not been herself lately and was “extremely needy” of Fisher.

Her “a man kidnapped me at knifepoint” story triggered a manhunt that cost approximately $96,000.

I have a new puppy and consequently spend a fair amount of time cleaning up dog poo. Let me just say that a 15 year old girl who smears herself in dog poo can’t be in her right mind. The motivation for this action is otherwise hard to comprehend.

Aside: I keep thinking Telme is trying to get a message to me as I read: TelMel

If it’s any consolation, every time I see my own name on here, _I_ see it as TellMel… I guess it’s just the font, but it always catches me funny, as if I typo’d my own username.
