scottheisel Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Okay, so being as I am someone terribly important in the world of rock journalism (and incredibly humble, to boot), I get a lot of kids writing me through my personal MySpace page asking for career advice and such. It gets really tedious and mind-numbing -- I don't mind if kids write the AP myspace for advice, but leave my personal page alone. Sometimes I'll humor them if they're polite. Anyway, some girl named Savannah wrote me the following today at 5:43 a.m.: Hey, I don't really know if my profile is private or whatever. But I added you because I'm pretty much an aspiring journalist. I've been reading about you..as creepy as that sounds, but I can relate to you in the music field and what not. I'm musically retarded in the aspect of I can't play and instrument for shit and the screeching sound that I make when I try to sing isn't too pretty. But man I have such a passion for music and writing and I was hoping you might give me some tips on making it big on the one thing I can actually do right. So yeah hopefully you won't be a fuck ass and actually write me back.Thanks a bunch <3 I saw it this morning, as well as a friend request (which I didn't do anything with). I was initially going to write back until that last line where she copped a weird attitude, so I left it alone and went to work. Then I just logged into myspace and I find another message from her sent at 8:06 p.m. tonight: So you're pretty much a fat asshole. I hope I'm the one that takes your job one day when you have a heart attack at a show. Okay, seriously? Like, seriously? Do I even respond to this girl?

dietrich Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 dude, her mood is crushed! thats probably because of you, haha. weird, im not sure, it might make her day if you respond, but maybe you should say that she should be patient or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 She's looks like one of them scenester chicks that thinks just because she is logged on to Myspace 24/7 on her scenester-required Sidekick, everyone else should be as well. How dare you Scott Heisel to not be checking your Myspace messages and responding every hour on the hour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 dude, her mood is crushed! And she "feels like someone shit on her face"?!?!? WTF?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Haven't used my myspace in a while, but can't they tell when someone had read a message? What a fuck ass. Seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilstrombone Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Holy shit, what is her problem? Some fucking journalist. What is she going to do if she does make it and gets turned down by an artist for an interview. kill their kids? this is the kind of people we try to stay away from in the journalism department, of course being that I dont write for such a quality rag as yours I do encounter more of these than I would like to believe. But still. I say you either dont respond or do and tell her that her attitude does not constitute your assistance and she needs to clean up her act if she expects ome montorship in life.

jhulud Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I vote for responding and giving her a slap of reality regarding patience and an attitude check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4m35 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 i'd just say: "fuck off. how's that for a response?" what she said is inexcusable and unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akross Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Haven't used my myspace in a while, but can't they tell when someone had read a message?What a fuck ass. Seriously. If there is something that says someone read a message, I don't know where it is... Send her a link to 2 girls 1 cup disguised as a link for an internship application.

If there is something that says someone read a message, I don't know where it is... If you go into your sent message folder, you can see if a message has been unread, read or replied to.

mediocore Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Step 1. Ask her for her personal email address so you can "better respond to her inquiry." Step 2. Sign her up for every mailing list, porn site, military recruitment office, sweepstakes, etc., that you can find. Step 3. ... Step 4. Profit.
