    Have my anxiety meds, will start taking them tomorrow. I shall report my findings in time.

    Y'know, it just occurred to me that the meds isn't like beer. It's not like the minute I take it, I'm suddenly a different person, it may take a month or so before I really notice something. Still, it's nice to know that there's something there that I can take for my anxiety. :D

    Never thought I'd get on meds, but, y'know, if you need them, you've got to take them. It doesn't matter what society or Hollywood says, if you need to take your meds, then takes your meds.

    The most important thing to keep in mind is that, if you don't feel like you need to take them anymore, that is because the are working.

    Boaty Mcboatface! Prefect, example of why you need to be careful what you ask the internet. Reminds me of when an online petnoin to build a death star was going around on a gov petition site.

    I don't know, I think asking the internet to do things makes satirical and comedy sci-fi seem more like plausible sci-fi. Certainly lends to the idea that truly anything can happen in our crazy universe. I'm just waiting for the day they call sci-fi humorists "visionaries" for predicting so many future happenings, a la Asimov.

    Perfect example? I'd save that for when Mountain Dew was trying to name it's new flavor and the most popular name was "Hitler did nothing wrong".

    I quite enjoyed the suggestion of RSS Not The Titanic.

    Hey everyone, a question:

    I'm doing an exercise where I take an image I found on the internet and write prose about it -- a scene as it were. My plan was to post it here (with the image in spoilers) and ask you all if what I wrote matches the image. Would this count as the sort of writing that belongs in the workshop section, or could I just put it in the General Writing?

    What are you taking if you don't mind me asking? I've had nothing but horrible experiences taking prescription meds for anxiety. Thankfully, I've found something else to use that has done wonders for me.

    I haven't had any alcohol since christmas, and prior to that I don't think I'd had any since mid July. I've seen my work do nothing but improve!

    That's as fantastic as it is disappointing.

    Long live the Internet.

    Something just occurred to me: with post-Mortem photography being popular during Victorian times... How do you know if the people posed in those photographs were really alive at the time the picture was taken??

    Most of the time it's pretty fucking obvious.

    Yeah, but in some of them it's difficult to tell if the person is dead or not. But you're right, in most cases it's obvious who the dead one's supposed to be.

    Still creepy as fuck, though...

    Immediately!For too long have we laboured under the burden of only one form of italics! For too long we have suffered this indignity! No more, I say! No more! For I have a dream!

    "D" is for ho-hum subject matter. As one becomes increasingly overwrought in one's opinions, adjust the slant in a stepwise manner, either toward A or G depending on whether one's views slant to the right or left. That way, we can easily see at first glance whether you're a conservative or liberal nutjob if you're all the way in A or G territory.

    NOTE: Says handwriting. Principles apply to fonts as well.
