(no subject)
Anatomy of an emo livejournal post:
[subject] - ALWAYS make SURE you have an obscenely emo lyric in the subject that does not relate to the post at all. This is crucial.
[body] - MUST contradict yourself at least twice. A common contradiction is saying that your life is going better, and then dedicating the rest of the post to saying you are unhappy. Make alot of this shit up too, it's not a bad day unless they believe you when you say it is.
[music] - CANNOT contain the lyric you put in the subject.
[follow-up] - Make sure the next post is about getting over the problem, and the post after that about the same problem. Your livejournal should be a checkerboard of depression and happiness.
I have seen too many people fall to this exact form of writing (including my younger self). If you or a loved one is writing like this on an everyday basis, please punch them in the neck three times and then spit on them. Its about time we did something about this.
