Friends: Awkward and Awesome

So yesterday I woke to this in my inbox:

Hello onecrazystitch,

As per our Community Guidelines, “restricted” video content is not allowed on Flickr . We’ve removed your video. If you continue to upload videos that contain “restricted” content, we may take further action on your account.

Regards,

Flickr Customer Care

Ehhh, what? I don't post "restricted" content to flickr. At the worst would be something rated R but I would make it invisible to everyone but me. And even if I DID post something rated R, it would probably be on my blog anyway, so I would already know about it. But this email (of which there were *4* copies) totally blew me away.

So I went to check it out.

Wow. I couldn't believe what I saw there. It was some weird video from I don't remember where about this girl in a dog collar or something. It starts out and she's topless, and is all "yeah it was a good time." I don't know what happened next because that's about the time I freaked out and deleted with all my might. I later found out that one of my online friends thought that "one of the girls" was me, and was very supportive. :) I love real friends. Even online ones. ::winkwink::

Anyway, I went ahead and changed my password and contacted flickr about it. I didn't really know what else to do. I can't imagine why anyone would want to "hack" my flickr, I mean there's really nothing there. OK, there's LOTS of stuff there, but it's all mostly my kids and balloons.

Anyway, that was the awkward story. The AWESOME story is that my IRL friend Lisa's erotic vampire romance series is now in print and available! I can't even tell you how happy I am for her. I am so proud of her.

Book III should be out very soon as well. Go Lisa!!

I'm volunteering to be the go-to person to get your books signed by Lisa if you want. Reach me at keri (at) crazykeri (dot) com.

Yay!

Hehe, I'm supportive! I will say I watched both videos all the way to the end. You missed some crazy S&M stuff. Gang bang in a restaurant and then torture devices of all sorts in the other one. WAAAAY over the top. (There were 2 different ones multiple times, which led me to believe you had been hacked, or you were REALLY drunk when posting the videos) If you want to do some investigating, they were both from a website called kink dot com (I didn't want to do a direct link to give them any traffic). Not sure HOW to investigate stuff like that, but maybe that will help.

I will say it was hilarious seeing pictures of a topless woman in a dog collar right next to pictures of yarn! Yarn + Porn! WOO!

Hahahaha! I'm so glad I have friends like you that will watch crazy videos so I don't have to. Awww you're so cool. :)

About being drunk... I don't think I'd have the capacity to upload something if I was drunk enough to WANT to upload that. Thank goodness! (It's all I can do to text message someone when I'm drunk. Seriously.)

What's also funny is that "Yarn Porn" is actually a real thing among us knitters... but you probably knew that already. ;)

I can't believe someone would put a video like that on your account!
