What? You guys are retarded...I dont know what kind of sissy amusement parks you go to...but rollercoasters are fun as hell!

ann ashtray 09.14.2010 06:19 PM

True that.

knox 09.14.2010 06:29 PM

I don't find vomiting fun.

Well, thankfully they were not made with those that suffer extreme motion sickness in mind.

Green_mind 09.15.2010 02:23 AM

I don't like rollercoasters either knox, for me amusement parks were all about the bumper cars.

hilarious.

anyway the other reason why the english are probably less insane is that people in yr cuntry tend to drink in public places, surrounded by people, and talking. so you vent your issues, you joke about them, and it sort of serves like a vomitory for pent-up drama and a kind of social control, as you get multiple perspectives instead of getting lost in your own head.

too many 'mericans drink alone in front of the tv (or the computer). that shit's bound to fuck you up mentally. as this plague spreads across the atlantic, beware of your compatriots...

If you need something right now I suggest this site that Crypto posted last week with cartoon stories that are very enjoyable.

I am going to reward myself with some sleep when I finish working. I hate altering 3 dimensional drawings. I don't think I'll ever be done.

Murmer99 09.16.2010 02:12 AM

a lot of people look at sleep as a reward. but whenever i try getting a lot of sleep it makes me feel even more like shit. it makes me lazier for some reason. and if i dont get much sleep i act moody sometimes... i think i might be bipolar. anyways...

ann ashtray 09.16.2010 02:32 AM

This, my friend, is a result of not sleeping enough and sleeping too much when ya do. I know because I've been there, and considering it's currently 3:29 in the am and I've gotta be up early...sometimes I'm still there.

Forcing yourself into a relatively routine sleep schedule may clear things up...but of course, Murmer kid, that isn't much fun. The act of forcing myself into sleep against my will is still a nightmare within itself.

I still recommend that relatively set schedule, though.

Write some more songs, I really enjoyed that last one!


-s.

oh, kick ass signature! Gotta love that Steve Turner. The most approachable musician I've yet to come across. Mark Arm was another story.

yeah i know.. ive tried changing the way i sleep every night.. but i dont know, i love being awake at night for some reason. theres something about night time that makes me more comfortable and i tend to want to do so much more.. i think its probably because everyone is asleep at night and its quiet.. i like doing things on my own, im used to it. im not an only child but i hardly even see my brother much. so ever since i was a small child ive done whatever to entertain myself. and i became really comfortable with that.. and during the day its the opposite and its really loud in my house. eh.. but i should probably stop sleeping at 5 am every night, its way too late. i think ive gotten my body used to it and thats not a good thing. because when i need to wake up early for something i cant seem to fall asleep the night before until the time im used to.

oh and thanks! that means a lot. i havent been writing many songs lately, everytime i write one i always feel like it can be A LOT better. oh well.. i'll keep writing.

steve turner is awesome. :) when did you see mudhoney, by the way?

ann ashtray 09.16.2010 03:09 AM

A couple years ago at the Earl (Atlanta). I bought a copy of what was then the new Mudhoney album (the Lucky Ones) and wanted it signed. After the gig was over me and a few friends stood in the back of the small venue, near the tour bus. Steve came out helping the roadie load equipment. Talked a few mins + he went back inside. He came out a bit later w/ the Australian bassist (Guy???), talked to both of em a few more minutes before they went back inside. At this point, I'm missing two sigs...Dan Peter's + Mark Arms. It's raining but I don't care. Roadie loads up more shit, and asks us what we're doing. "I wanna meet the rest of Mudhoney"...he responds, word-for-word (I'll never forget), "Oh, cool...go inside, first door to the left, grab a beer". So yeah, I hung out backstage w/ Mudhoney for a bit. Dan was looking awful tired, sitting on a couch. Mark was talking to some girl and seemed very happy in doing so. Naturally, I approach Dan first. Shake hands, he signs my album (and yeah, being the weirdo I am I think "this dude drummed w. Nirvana for a brief stint" as we shake hands. I didn't wanna wear out my welcome so I didn't stay long. Dan, oddly, seemed to be the only one a bit bummed about me and my friends (peeking in from the doorway) leaving. But ya know, I looked at Mark and realized it was a once in a lifetime shot, so I, like an asshole, interupt this convo he's having w/ the girl and say "Hey, Mark, can ya sign this"...+ he does, circling the "A" in "Arm" into a little anarchy sign...and I went on my way.

I'll always remember it.

edit: it wasn't the earl. I saw All the Saints a the Earl...can't remember the name of this venue but it was a tiny place.

Those are definitly bipolar symptoms. If u think u might be get checked out now. It gets worse with age and can turn into schizophrenia if not treated. I'm not talkin out of my ass 2 of my closest family members r bipolar and a very good friend I havve known 4 years is schizo. I watched all of them suffer through their 20s until they finallly had enough and went to the psych. They r all on abilify and I saw a 100% turn around in their moods and behavior. Don't waste year 20s being miserable.

SONIC GAIL 09.16.2010 07:34 AM

Oh and don't self medicate. It may make u feel better at first, but it really just aids the disease in progressing further.

Not tryin to act like year mom or anything. I just like to help ppl. Maybe someone can learn from my mistakes instead of repeating them.

knox 09.16.2010 08:29 AM

wtf. everyone gets lazier when they sleep a lot.
the more you sleep the more you get used to sleeping a lot.
im exactly the same, terrible mood if i dont sleep enough, sometimes i need to take a nap just to change my mood a bit. i'm unable to wake up when i need to, and it takes me hours to come back to the real world, in fact i only feel like i'm really up in the evening.

i think thats pretty common.

about my need for many hours doctor said it's caused by an irregular sleep pattern and aenemia.

and bipolar disorder doesn't 'turn' into schitzophrenia. the schitzophrenic person is usually... schitzophrenic. there are certain ages and periods in life where it manifests itself, that's all.

SONIC GAIL 09.16.2010 08:37 AM

Ok knox. So he must have both then. I'm no psych. Just talkin about my experiences with the ppl I know.;) what do u teach? I have been curious I saw somewhere your a teacher. U seem to always know a lot about psychology.

knox 09.16.2010 08:44 AM

No, I used to be a language tutor, but I had to stop doing it. I'll do it again when I have spare time in the future.

The average person will me misdiagnosed a few times before they find out what's really wrong. Schitzophrenia is usually genetic. However, if somebody has a tendency to develop certain problems (schitzophrenia included) drugs like acid or constant use of weed can trigger it, or make it worse - it seems.

it's not like doctors even agree on those things, that's how behind we are in studying 'mental illness'.

ploesj 09.16.2010 08:53 AM

amusement parks can be fun.. i tend to go on days with less visitors (on weekdays during the school year) and take my own food. students get discounts too. this is the nicest amusement park i ever went to:

 


 


 


 


it's in the netherlands and the original park was designed by a dutch illustrator (anton pieck) everything has this fairy tale theme and looks nice... even trashcans. now, when they add new attractions, they still try to make it fit into the atmosphere. i used to go there every year with my parents since even they could kind of enjoy it (there were attractions but also a fairy tale forest with castles and dwarves and everything to stroll through)

i went back this year with my boyfriend and it was a great day.

Yeah the guy I know with schizophrenia used to be hardcore into all drugs. I really think it made him worse. He quit that shit for the most part and is doing much better these days. I agree that we are way behind in the treatment of the mentally ill. It seems to be very prevalent or it could just be the people I choose to hang out with;)

jon boy 09.16.2010 10:23 AM

i normally like to reward myself with small things for myself when i can. i like to go for drinks or dinner but if i have the money i go for something bigger. i have my eye on several bits of equipment (although that can always be said) and i am getting a white noise generator this week. also going to an island for the weekend.

knox 09.16.2010 11:10 AM

I'm thinking I'll get a 4 track. Seems like a strange thing to do.
I'm struggling to find tapes as well.

SONIC GAIL 09.16.2010 11:52 AM

I'm surprised cassettes r still around. I just found an old box full of mine and ryans cassettes from highschool. I think they have been damaged though.

There's no way i wouldve been able to do that. i would have been too nervous to say even one word to them, haha. guess i can be a weirdo too. anyways, thats really cool. i doubt i'll ever see them here in florida..

and @Sonic Gail, There's a lot more to it. i think im bipolar for other reasons.. like nervous breakdowns at random times.. but i guess the sleeping thing is pretty normal, i just thought it couldve been part of the bipolar issue. either way, i cant tell whether its depression i have or bipolar disorder.. so i went to a psycologist (multiple ones actually) because my mom kept making me, and the medication i took made me worse believe it or not so i just stopped going.. theres more to it.. but i feel uncomfortable sharing it on here.
