Well, I'm going to be very blunt now. I spent at least a half-hour talking to Elliot Vaughan while Salina listened from a comfortable distance. In that hour, I explicitly told him that I was keen to sing a musical that he'd written, yet he didn't even reply to my Facebook friend request. He was only there to draw out my story by admitting he was a closet trannie.


This also suggests that my enemies only wanted the Tina project, and had zero interest in me doing any other type of performance. That, Salina, is why the NZSM is going to back off. Treat me like a person, not a meal ticket.

This, greenies, is a downstream consequence of labelling me as a dangerous stalker. You enabled people to treat me as less of a person because I was in love with Chloe, and that made me a bad person. It's funny that it's blowing up in your face now that it seems there's been a change of heart from Chloe!
