       I suppose this had to come out sooner or later, but I have been
reluctant to post this to the list until now. For a while there has been no
word from Hitomi Ichinohei on the FF mailing list, for good reason. So,
people inquiring about Hitomi harken to my words, and be afraid, be very

afraid.

       From all the evidence gathered--there IS no Hitomi Ichinohei.

       Still, I am a little bitter about this, as are the people who
devulged personal stuff to 'Hitomi'. A handle is fine, but to not admit
it--is not a very nice thing to do. ESPECIALLY considering what happened a
year or so ago with the April Fool's Joke Hitomi Incident!! That makes me
smolder a little.

<sigh>

Ya know... ah, forget it. This is just really sad. After reading this, I
felt alot of anger, for all the people (including myself) that were fooled
(the April Fool's incident has me quite pissed off considering all of this).
But mostly I feel sadness, for this person, this Chris Hill, who has screwed
up their life so badly. I hope she/he can get some help and find some way to
deal with reality, because though I have never really read any of "Hitomi's"
work, by all accounts "she" was very good, and could have done something
with their talent. It's just really sad. 

       I once asked Grimreaper(another friend) what he thought I was like,
and one of those characteristics was 'innocent'. I was skeptical about that,
but Chris Hill certainly makes me think about the truth of that claim. I
certainly got royally suckered by someone who wrote good stories, but
perhaps lives in them as well.

Yeah, I bought it too. I guess this is the down side to living on the
pioneering edge of the Information Age :/

And to Edward ... be who you are. Because: 1) There are some people out here
who believe life is too short to focus on what we all may look like and 2)
there's no feeling like it, when you meet people who accept you for who you
are when you are being no-one else but yourself.
