Damn. It's been forever since I've updated. I feel like a horrible person, because every time I think of something worth posting, I keep it to myself. I guess that's partly because of who I am, and partly because I'm too lazy and I can always find other ways to spend my time when I have it. I've never really been the type of person who talks about

Yes, I've felt that way too. Actually, that feeling should have a name. I do agree that a big part of the fear of death is a fear of the unknown. Another part is the fear of pain. And another part is the fear of leaving behind everything you love. And yet another part is the fear of non-existence. We would all be happier if we were able to let go of these fears. However, freeing yourself of the fear of death is not the same as losing your desire to live.

I honestly don't think Martini (you -- since I figure I am replying to both at the same time) is suicidal or EMO. Please don't worry either -- I don't see suicidal tendencies everywhere I look and I'm not planning an intervention. Although that might be kind of fun -- you would come home and find everyone on your flist waiting for you in your living room. After we convince you life is worth living we could have a party.

I actually think you are quite the opposite of EMO. EMO's are tormented. You are kind of resigned. I guess what I'm wondering is whether you believe in yourself. Many people are held back in life because they don't believe in themselves. I admit I am one of those people. You can be the most brilliant person in the world, but because you don't believe in yourself, you don't live a tenth of the life that you could. And I'm not talking about getting rich or becoming famous either. I mean just having a happy and fulfilling life in which you amaze yourself once in a while and achieve your potential here and there. That's what I meant by sad. Maybe I am way off base. It's when you say things about you likely not contributing much in your life that I think you seem like a pretty incredible person and you could have an amazing life.

Sorry, I know, I could have expressed myself better, but I'm starving!

Well, I know that I do often feel that I'm pretty worthless, but life is too much fun to give up just because it's pointless. I mean, smutty fanfics are pointless, but they're still fun. Same goes for stand up comedy, South Park and loud, blow-your-brains-out rock music. Pointless, but fun. Like life, on a smaller scale. And now I have a fluffy Nicholas Sparks book that I must return to. ta-ta.

Enjoy your book. I don't thin you are worthless!

[life_question]

well, it's certainly nice to feel appreciated.

It does.

"God, I'm so sorry you're on crack - because heroin is better!!"
