Yeah, come on guys -why are you treating this as a joke? Her claims of super x-ray vision/feeling should be taken very seriously until they have been falsified.
Mystery solved. School has started in North Carolina, but Ikonen's having trouble securing her visa to get back into the US. That clears up a lot of my confusion about what's going on.
I have to apologize to Akhenaten. So far during the month of August I have received 9, count 'em, NINE e-mails from Arcturus Annie. I have not responded to a single one of them. I guess those people who figured she would stop if I would just ignore her are wrong because one e-mail every 2.5 days is the highest sustained volume of e-mails since I told her last year never to contact me again except through a lawyer (which for those who may not know, is all I have ever replied to her since last year). Frustrated with the lack of attention, she took to posting a few of those e-mails to me on her website saying that she was "worried" about me. Still, no comment from me.
So now Akhenaten is her target, and it's all my fault.
Annie, my darling. Please stop e-mailing Akhenaten. You're making me jealous. I'm the only one for you, and you're the only one for me! Remember all the good times we had?
You know, you sending me instant messages, and then me blocking you because you wouldn't stop?
You begging to be my friend on Facebook, then defriending me, then begging again to be my friend, then defriending me again?
How about when you initiated a chat telling me that you just got out of the shower and were naked, then publicly telling everyone that my kids would be ashamed to know their father sexually harassed you?
And how I told you never to call me on the phone, but you got my number from my business website and called me several times and left a 2 1/2 minute rambling voicemail threatening to call the campus police and sue me?
And how when I put forth the idea of verifying your claims of healing a man of his migraines, you called me a stalker, then proceeded to send me his phone number and your boyfriend's number?
Oh, and who can forget the time a month after I told you never to contact me again except through an attorney, you sent me an e-mail to tell me that you were dying and that if I don't see you posting anymore, I should know that you LOVE ME?
Those were the days, Annie. I miss them! Your ploy to make me jealous has worked!
In case there was any doubt, her open letter to Akhenaten is pure hooey. After she wrote that, she updated her website. Anita is hunting ghosties and living on light again.

He would not let me go to sleep and made me promise that I would contact his mother who was still alive and tell her about him. I did in fact write down his name and other contact information, but I never followed through with my promise.

Jim I would have enjoyed your post more if you told us to listen to the video while reading the post. I read it then listened, and it didn't have the same effect. Think through your posts more clearly next time, ok? I don't want my reading/listening experiences to be lessened because of your carelessness.

Hopefully I can make an appointment to see a psychiatrist this week. The session would be dedicated to my experience of health perceptions and that I am seeing reason to investigate those with a series of skeptical tests.
It's interesting that she brands suggestions she seek such advice as an insult, lumping it in with disparaging references to her physical appearance. But what's the more parsimonious explanation for your claims, Anita? Is it having super x-ray powers or delusion? Why has it taken so long to consider investigating the latter?

Furthermore - and here's the kicker - I will audio record my session and make it available here unless it is in violation of laws or ethical conduct to do so. It would be in Swedish, so it might end up in a YouTube video with English subtitles, at which I would welcome any Swedish speaking skeptics/persons to verify the translation.
Let's add The Conduct and Purpose of Psychiatric Consultations to the list of things Annie doesn't understand.
ETA:
Reading between the lines, we see that Anita is still in Sweden and apparently will be for some time to come, yet the school semester in the US has well and truly started. One might wonder what that's all about.
The at-home, internet-based amateur-level skeptics (to distinguish them from real skeptics who are more than just opinionated people, and actually make a contribution to the skeptical community and are highly regarded) see me as the sole representative of all of woo, I am their Sylvia Browne John Edward because I come from the world of woo and dare to say hey and enter the world of skeptics.
I'm confused. James Randi himself has publicly dismissed her as an out and out fraud, one of the many he has come across in his long career. Now, is he an "at home, internet based amateur level skeptic" or a "real, highly regarded skeptic"? Last time I checked, he has made a "considerable contribution to the skeptical community", but now it appears he is just cowering from this "sole representative of woo".
ETA: If she sees a psychiatrist, great. if she tells a psychiatrist the truth, more power to her. Until she does that, though, there's no evidence here of any real attempt at self awareness on Anita's part. It's too bad.
First of all i'm writing this reply using my iphone, i haven't done this before so please excuse any mistakes!
I have been quoted on VfF's website....yay.....just kidding!
Although i have been quoted, she completely missed the point of both mine and Desertgal's post!!!
I'm the person who has a diagnosed personality disorder. I am not ashamed of it nor should i be, there is nothing wrong with having a mental illness, more people than you could imagine have a mental illness of some sort or other during their lives, even if its just a single case of depression.
The point i was trying to make in my post was Anita says she doesnt "feel" mentally ill and neither did i for the 20+ years i went undiagnosed, just because you don't "feel" mentally ill doesn't mean that you are not.
I was also trying to explain that i am upset at the thought of someone else going through what i have over the years. I spent many years wondering why people thought my behaviour was unusal or why they would say they were worried about me, to me, my behaviour was normal and not strange at all.
I now have treatment and i'm much better.
I knew Anita would probably read my post so i was hoping she would understand that there is a reason why people are concerned by her behaviour but it seems that she didn't want to see or didn't notice my point.
I would also like to point out that she quoted me as saying i was worried about her being a danger to people, what she failed to do was quoye the reason why, i said i was concerned because i worry that she may tell a poor pregnant woman that there is something wrong with her baby. The mental and physical distress this may cause doesn't bear thinking about!
I really do hope that Anita does in fact seek a mental health professional and i hope that she is completely honest with them and takes the advice they give her.
Anita, i didnt't qhite say it right in the post you quoted so i'll say it here.
Please seek help form a mental health professional and please take what the say to heart. I am concerned not only about what you may do to other but i am also concerned about you too. As i said in my post, i went through hell while i was undiagnosed and i do not wish that to happen to you.

see me as the sole representative of all of woo, I am their Sylvia Browne John Edward because I come from the world of woo and dare to say hey and enter the world of skeptics.
The sole representative? Ummmmm... no. I'm a card-carrying Meanie™, been following this little saga for years, but Anita does not represent all things woo to me.

Her self aggrandizement really has no bounds, aye? She's the "ancient extraterrestrial incarnation" whose knowledge of scientific theory, among other things, is light years ahead of us poor earthlings, the "demigod of breatharians worldwide", the "human MRI" who can diagnose illness and cure migraines with her sooper powers, the "telepathic communicator" of Bigfeet and other mysterious creatures around the globe, the "portal" for all things ghostly, the "only" woo who has ever ventured into skepticism, the "4.0 GPA" sooper student and, now, the "sole representative" of all things woo.
