Livejournal user's attempts to convey profundity of emotion horribly embarrassing - [04/27/03]
Ben Grissle, also known as livejournal user 'liquidsoulfire,' has failed miserably trying to create the persona of a sad, sadistic, yet brilliant clown.
User 'janeplain' notes: "Ben, or 'the Flaming Jester' as he has been calling himself, goes on and on about scars he gave himself, his 'lunatic grandfather,' who from what I hear only had mild alzeimhers, blah blah blah... I hope he doesn't give out his url to people he actually knows, because it's really embarrassing."
Ben, 24, lives with his parents and works part-time at a light-bulb factory which he refers to as "the star prison."
