Someone's pretending to be me on Facebook.
And clearly we're dealing with a crazed-lunatic here, because anyone with even a smidge of sanity would pick someone way cooler than me to pose as on Facebook
And feel free to use my name falsely and post images of my children in your profile pictures...but don't you ever post that Twilight is my favorite book again.
And I'm only sharing this because it appears that quite a few of my past students and people that I know from this blog have signed up as friends or are waiting to be added as a friend - so I just wanted give you a heads up.
Sorry for any confusion, but in the future, just know that if I join Facebook, or Flickr, or Pinterest or Twitter, that I'll be sure to mention it here so you all know it's really me.
And I'll use the code-word "snuffleupagus" just so you'll know for sure.
But hey, while you're at it 'Karen' - would you mind throwing in a load or two of laundry? I'm totally out of clean pajamas.
And if you're reading this Josh Downs...Thanks for the bullet-pointed email - that's so like you. (And I mean that in a good way.)
I don't get it!!!! Why? What kind of person thinks to do this type of thing?? Like those that steal images and post them as their own! How do they sleep at night? I'm sorry that this happened to you!

I was so excited when 'you' friended me! I think it's disgusting!

Ok, so it's a bit creepy that someone posed as you, but love your attitude and am so with you on being irritated that they would post twilight as your favorite book! Hang in there with your great attitude!! ljh

seriously? wow......

Yeah....I'm not such a Facebook fan. Imitation may be sincere flattery, but stealing your identity is something more. As my friend says, maybe she has all 6 cans, but she's missing that plastic thingie that holds them together :)

This world is full of total whackos! This is proof positive. I can't even fathom why in the world some nut would do that. I would totally report it and get FB to delete it. BTW I am sure you are WAY cooler. Even without using your highlight reel. LOL
Posted by: Lori | January 20, 2012 at 06:59 PM
Karen you crack me up! Love your attitude. That person is obviously jealous of how great you are.
Who has the spare time to create a false account with pictures and everything? Rediculous.

OMG, my friend just posted today on FB that someone else has set up an account in HER name. That is so wrong. Sorry it happened to you, too.

what a creep!
I reported it to facebook, I hope they take it down.
Posted by: Angel | January 20, 2012 at 07:31 PM
SO NOT COOL! You have to wonder...what is wrong with someone that they stoop to this level for attention. Love ya Karen! Anyone that knows you, would most likely be shocked that you had joined Facebook, Twitter...etc!
Posted by: Lisa | January 20, 2012 at 08:02 PM
I just don't get why someone would do something like that... It's sick! So sorry you have to deal with this!

Posted by: Amy Z | January 21, 2012 at 05:16 AM

Posted by: stephanie | January 21, 2012 at 11:00 AM
Just another reason why I DON'T DO facebook! I seriously hate it. This person needs a life and facebook needs to make some changes. UNREAL!!!!
Posted by: Tracy | January 21, 2012 at 11:18 AM
You are one cool Sista to be so calm about this! If someone took pics of my kids they'd be living face off not facebook! That is seriously twisted, report it & quickly.
Posted by: Andrea*O | January 21, 2012 at 11:29 AM
Seriously...that is so weird!!!
Posted by: KathleenB | January 21, 2012 at 01:26 PM
I am on facebook and tried to report it but they stated that you will have to report it yourself. Please do, this is totally NOT right. Take care,
Carol

Wow, that is just wrong! I am so sorry this is happening. I wonder what kind of person would do such a thing...
