Hello friends!
It's me Eric.
For the past few days the entire internet has been freaking out over Sherry Hutsell's scheme (read 3 entries below if you don't know what I'm talking about) and this has a lot of people asking me what I knew about her. My knee-jerk reaction has been to say "I never spoke to her at all!", or "I spoke to her once or twice, but she creeped me out!". Both of those are lies. I spoke to the character "Denni Leann" for 15 days.
I believed the lie for 15 days.
It happened between August 1st, 2011 and August 15, 2011. I had seen Sherry Hutsell on the Smiley Smile board since 2006 when I first joined, then the year after the character of Denni Leann began to gather believers on the forum. I never bothered to read any of her threads, so I had no idea that this was happening. I never spoke to her until she added me on facebook on August 1, 2011. In the conversations you are about to read (or not, its pretty long) I tried hard to be a friend to the perpetually sad pseduo lost Wilson. I attempted to raise her self esteem and show her that life wasn't so bad. I tried to get her to say ANYTHING at all related to me...but it never happened. She was only interested in herself and essentially used me to vent the frustrations she felt of managing such a complex digital life.
She was also determined to get me involved in her drama and when I chose to steer our conversations in a healthy direction, she would try a different piece of gossip to drag me in. She complained about the Wilson children not accepting her. She mentioned that someone arranged for the actual Wilson children to speak with her on the phone, and, according to her they kind of liked it. She mentioned a lot of wacky stuff. I believed her initially, but as time went on I tried to get more and more information out of her, which ultimately led to our parting of ways. World, please forgive me for being so gullible for 15 days.
On the last day of our friendship, the last message she sent said that she had to go to work at 6:51pm (may have been 3:51pm her time, but still, who goes to work at that time?). About an hour later I asked her to post a time stamped photo on her Facebook wall and she blocked me immediately (from work?), followed by about 30 other friends who blocked and de-friended me, some of whom messaged me, outraged that I could doubt her story. It was wacky in retrospect that any of this ever happened.
So, without further introduction, here is the unedited, complete transcript of my conversations with Denni Leann, aka Sherry Hutsell.

i would rather hurt in my body then my heart
ok
8/4, 9:24pm
Eric Warncke
i think most people would
but yeah i really liked this girl
and we had been dating for only like a week, but i liked her for a long time before we dated
and it was on my 24th birthday
we both went to warped tour together
and she saw her exboyfriend there with a new girl and she got upset and broke up with me
and the whole car ride home was SO awkward
then on the way home I locked my keys in my car and had to smash my back window with a fire extinguisher to get home
worst break up ever. I'm glad it happened though, because I know the next break up can't be that bad!
8/4, 9:26pm

August 15, 2011
8/15, 6:39pm
Denni Leann
HI
8/15, 6:39pm
Eric Warncke
hello
8/15, 6:39pm
Eric Warncke
whats your full name denni?
8/15, 6:40pm
Denni Leann
DENNI LEANN IS ALL I CAN SAY..WHY
8/15, 6:40pm
Eric Warncke
whats with the caps?
and the secrecy?
8/15, 6:40pm
Denni Leann
sorry..didnt know
8/15, 6:41pm
Eric Warncke
i just figured out that that isnt your name
8/15, 6:41pm
Denni Leann
no ..i just dont want freaks trying to find me. im sure you understand
8/15, 6:41pm
Eric Warncke
so i wanted to know
8/15, 6:41pm
Denni Leann
denni is my first name leann is my middle
8/15, 6:41pm
Eric Warncke
oh
haha
sorry
8/15, 6:41pm
Denni Leann
my last name cant be put out there yet
i have stalkers as it is
8/15, 6:42pm
Eric Warncke
oh yeah?
what's that like
because ive had like hackers before but probably not window peepers
8/15, 6:42pm
Denni Leann
john stebbins and others had to get my pics off many websites
8/15, 6:42pm
Eric Warncke
how could they do something like that?
are they hackers too?
8/15, 6:43pm
Denni Leann
they are dw freak that want my moms pic today and mine so they can sell them
to gossip mags
8/15, 6:43pm
Eric Warncke
oh
you really think any gossip magazines would actually buy that?
8/15, 6:43pm
Denni Leann
i have to be careful
8/15, 6:44pm
Eric Warncke
the only reason i ask, is because ive tried to sell stories to gossip magazines
about Pauly D from the jersey shore
and they didnt buy them
they pretty much don't care unless its lindsay lohan or charlie sheen
8/15, 6:44pm
Denni Leann
they have offered my mom book deals
she will never
betray denny
8/15, 6:44pm
Eric Warncke
well thats not betrayal
at least the way i see it
unless she says something in the book that is a lie
or he promised her to never write a book about him
i would understand that
but other wise that doesn't make much sense
she writes a nice book about how great a guy he is and makes money
i don't see the immediate harm
8/15, 6:46pm
Denni Leann
she knew him the last year the most horrible time, not much good there
he told her stories that would make your head spin
8/15, 6:46pm
Eric Warncke
yeah
1983 was no doubt a bad time for him
but i am surprised that you would need to be so guarded
i guess i am so unimportant that the ideas of obsession is a bit radical to me
ya know?
8/15, 6:48pm
Denni Leann
from day one, i have had all kinds of crap. my pics on message boards and websites
8/15, 6:48pm
Eric Warncke
well
8/15, 6:48pm
Denni Leann
like i said dennys old friends came to my resuce
8/15, 6:48pm
Eric Warncke
if it makes you feel any better
im not going to post anything about you on my blog
mostly because you arent a bootleg album
8/15, 6:49pm
Denni Leann
theres nothing to post. i dont step over the line
8/15, 6:49pm
Eric Warncke
oh theres always something to post
regardless of the existence of lines
8/15, 6:49pm
Denni Leann
nothing eeryone already knows
8/15, 6:49pm
Eric Warncke
i guess thats true
8/15, 6:49pm
Denni Leann
i keep things to myself
8/15, 6:50pm
Eric Warncke
well, sorry if this is an awkward conversation
i didnt intend for it to be
8/15, 6:50pm
Denni Leann
no prob
goyya get head to work
8/15, 6:51pm
Eric Warncke
oh ok
didnt realize
have fun
