 2012 is gonna eat you

So I’m minding my business that morning when I get this Email. It says,
Hi there I wanted to send you a private invitation to out network on ning some of the owners of the groups got together and created a place for all paths to come together as we move forward into 2012...live chat is on the main page very active! I have learned so much and there are friends you all ready know from the groups to talk to hope you will check us out and welcome to the hub of the den! Love and Light
Of course, if you know me, you’ll imagine how 2012 stood out as a red flag, and I said, oh my... But hey, they bothered to send me an invitation, the least I could do was check it out. After all, I’ve had enough grief from folks who have labeled me a wiccan-eater and whatever. What harm could there be in joining? The Paganos de America Latina list at ning was fun in an odd way, with all that chaotic mix of varied pagans. So I clicked the link...
Oh Gods.
There was a legend on the inscription page.
A place for all light workers to come together in 2008 including paranormal spirit rescuers reiki wiccan spiritualists and Harley friends Yeah, I noticed that too. Harley friends??? Now come on, that was obviously a joke. With some luck, the 2012 crack was also meant as an irony. Yeah, I guess I can be a little dense in front of all those ward-off signs. But hey, I sort of like harleys. So I click Join. The personal profile is ready to be filled, and asks the usual basics:
Name: Birth Date: Country: Paranormal Powers:
I sit there staring at the screen, going, “Huh, what?” Well, having gone this far, might as well take a look. So I type, “Huh, what?” (let it not be said I wasn’t being honest), and click forward.
And then, I was suddenly a member of Spirit Rescue 2012! I locate one of the mods, and check her profile. And It kills my computer, with a flood of overheavy gimmicks –automatic playlist, photos, videos, active chat window- worthy of the crappiest MySpace. Ten minutes later, when my computer comes back from zombieland, I see that the mod (who seems to have several groups and lists and belongs to some “Light Workers Association” or whatever) put in the “Paranormal powers” section, “It’d be easier and shorter to list the ones I don’t have”. Riiiight. So I decide to check out the message boards, see who else is around. I notice that I already have a friend request –I would later see in my Email that it was from another one of the mods-, but I’m busy browsing the list of subjects. Then one catches my sight:
“Joint Psychic exercise to send energy to welcome the 12 Altimarians”
So I go “Huh, what?” again and –Gods help me- I click the link.
That does it. As soon as I recover from falling off my chair, I quit the group.
So, all those of you who say I’m just looking for people to pick on. Look at them! They come and bugger me, not the other way around! I actually tried to give them a fair chance, but there is a limit to the amount of nonsense I can withstand.

As I read, I passed through all kinds of faces msn and all freaks could´ve imagined as emoticons, or at least that´s what I thought at the time.
It seems life always keeps more cause there was a new jaw-dropping face waiting for me to show when I found this: "There is also a link to the Academy of Clinical Close Encounter Therapists (ACCET)" here: http://www.drboylan.com/
Anyway, what could you expect from a behavioral scientist and anthropologist with specialization in "star cultures"?
Well, once again my morbid curiosity for other people´s deliria has been fed, thanks.
Saludos

Oh, it's soooo tempting! :-D
I finally tracked them down. a couple of weeks ago, a fellow member of Scans_daily, a comics-related lj group, invited me to a witchcraft yahoo! group; right away, somebody else (a member there obviously) invited me to a group on magic and paranormal stuff, and there is somebody with spiritrescue 2012 in their Email there. I could do that there... Either way, running like fuck out of that paranormal group is certainly a sensible thing to do. What baffles me is that a "new age" and "light-working" group actually has some satanists and hoodoo practitioners as posters. Don't tell me they are pining for 2012 too!!!
Great link, btw!
Gah! The 2012 thing just baffles me, but it would seem you were accosted by a nest of real flakes who gathered around it.

Actually, I have been litteraly accosted by them in person, when I went to an occult expo! You should have seen them trying to sell me on the alien healing magnets, the new chakra people will develop on 2012 or (ugh) the photo of the "Eye of God"!
Sad thing, that expo.
Yeah, Taylor and I have had that happen a number of times :P
Eye of God--did it look like it came out of Mordor?

LOL! Now that would have been good! Actually, it's a photo of a nebula from NASA taken with the Hubble. But according to the wise new-age girl selling them at ten dollars, it was not taken with Hubble but through other, "very mysterious" (sic) methods. It's a photo of the Eye of God which can only be taken every three thousand years; and yes, NASA did take another pic 3,000 years ago, only NASA was called differently back then... That's basically what she told me! Take a look, I've got the photo as it was advertised here: http://pics.livejournal.com/abbadie/pic/00007k62/That day I also interviewed John Reed, the nutso who claims to have an alien teleport bracelet, and I laughed for months!!! Here I am with the weirdo: http://pics.livejournal.com/abbadie/pic/0000c721/ :-P
