Countess, meet your Prince Alarming
If you are a SWF, freakishly thin, with unusual hair color and pretensions of royalty, consider becoming the bride in Christ of Jeffrey Paul Rose. Since the unfortunate kidnapping of Ericka Ashley Visconte Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, Princess of Romania, the position seems to be open.

It seems that in addition to being an American college student, Ericka is an heiress of the House of Caradja, only child of Lady Ana (a Romanian embassy official) and Nicholas (a CIA agent), is a pretender to the throne of Romania. Her alluring vitals:

Name: VISCONTE, Ericka Ashley
Date of Birth: 12 September 1984
Place of Birth: Unknown (possibly Rochester, NY, USA)
Height: 5'10" (178cm)
Weight: 95-105 lbs (43-47 kilos) ; thin bones; ring finger: size 4
Hair: White-blond(e) [natural "strawberry" highlights (slight)]


Need I mention, after providing these personal statistics, that Ericka is also fictional? This inconvenient fact has done nothing to dampen Jeffrey's very honorable ardor:

Jeffrey's true and Christian love has been gushing forth in torrents all over the Web and Usenet for the past several years. Jeffrey doesn't just spam, he spams macaronically, sometimes in a combination of English, Romanian, and Latin, to the most unlikely places (Fiber Arts Discussion Board? The Swiss Sports Portal?) So hermetically sealed is Jeff's world that it's nearly impossible to figure out where the wacky all started. Nearly, but not impossible.

First clue is in the epic chat transcript ascribed to Holly, who is, confusingly, the princess's lady's made, but also apparently an ordinary person with the handle Anastacia. Holly is from Ireland and so, naturally, types with an Irish brogue (warning: keep eye drops handy, it burns). Second clue is in this online diary post.

Yes, this seems to be a case of Ultima Online gone terribly, horribly wrong. More wrong than it is already, even. Anyone out there want to put me and Jeffrey out of our misery and confirm this? Anyone want to send the poor boy a Translyvanian cookie?

The hell? I am Romanian. Any e-mail to this fine fellow, or perhaps has he so befallen our myths that he fears any additional computer liaisons would draw a thousand curses on him?

Oh why must my poor, innocent country be dragged into all this? Why, I say, why?!

Ericka Ashley Visconte Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, Princess of Romania,

Sounds like a Mary Sue.

That's exactly what I thought: somebody created a Sue, and this poor boy fell in love with it.

More on Erica's perfection:
Eyes: Blue
Complextion: Very Light
Speech: Slight British accent
[which, y'know, most people born in upstate New York have]
Languages: English, Romanian, Hungarian, Turkish, Latin, others
think you remember
Ericka's passion to be a Pediatric Caridothoracic Surgeon? She is so
very intelligent and gifted to excel in this beyond all her
peers-to-be (remember her small-boned hands - size 4 ring finger?
Perfect for surgery!)

"he spams macaronically"

That sounds like something I should eat with cheese.

....omg so funny. XD;;

The chat transcript page, at the bottom, links to a file of her last attempted call. It goes something like this:

[answering machine talking]
*insert a lady saying something and CLEARLY SPEAKING IN SPANISH WHICH IS NOTHING LIKE ROMANIAN*
Young lady's voice in a clearly American accent: Hello?
And it cuts off there.

I'm sorry but that was just too funny. Hello to you too Ms. Romanian Princess of Fictionality!

Ah, whap me oul mother over the head with a shillelagh...

To be sure, we proud native childer of Erin do be talking like complete banshees from the bog all the toime, yer honour, I do swear.

And sure we types like this because the English they came and they messed up the letters, but the brave Irish boys made it into a word!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and be a comely maiden dancing at the crossroads for the rest of the evening.

I'm Romanian and have been for the last 20... something years. People, Ericka is the best joke I've heard in months! Whoever is behind "Ericka" did some research tho... we had 4 kings and they were all from the Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen German dynasty line. The Caradgea house was indeed a very wealthy, noble house and members of Caragea family are still alive and well in Romania at the day. Now for the funneh part, besides her vitals, I won't get into that! The "pretender to the throne of Romania" part. There's one little problem. The Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen Royal House rules forbid a female heiress to ascend to throne. Only males. AND our former king is alive and living in Romania AND he has 4 (or 5!) daughters AND his daughters have male children... But the real problem is that Romania has been a communist republic for 45 years. And we kinda still are... so Ericka, don't start polishing that crown just yet! *fades into the night*
