Living with post-partum depression for ten or eleven years, you (or at least, I) put up a wall to protect your comfort zone. It's much stronger than any blanket fort, unless the blankets cover up granite blocks three feet thick and reinforced with steel girders. And the longer you're in there, the bigger the wall gets. Only it doesn't grow ( Read more... )

I deactivated my Facebook account. I should probably just delete it. Maybe next week.

(I'm trying to work on my personal metaphysical outlook, or something like that. Please feel free to comment. Honest opinions don't exist in a vacuum ( Read more... )

There is a tie-breaker poll that is yet to be posted, but that's for the other person who will be voted out this week. If you're interested, these are the entries I submitted, with the prompt we were given ( Read more... )

I just got fucking spam from myself. Some Viagra-like thing (I'm guessing, I didn't really read it) advertised with huge fucking pictures in it, sent "from" me@myemail.address to me@myemail.address. How the hell am I supposed to block that?

So, by the way, Eddie, if you did this, and I can ever figure out for certain that it's you, I will figure ( Read more... )
