I like how the dude compliments you for not getting counseling or anything after the armed robbery. BE A MAN. SUCK IT UP. That's what my mother taught me. Take all your bad feelings and push them down, all the way down, past your knees until you're almost walking on them. And then you'll fit in, and you'll be invited to parties, and boys will like you, and happiness will follow.

Ditto. (ANGRY FOREIGN SMILEY.)

Sounds like you don't need to go to Oxford. I didn't, and look where it got me! (DO NOT LOOK WHERE IT GOT ME.)

ALL RIGHT YOU HORRIBLE MAGGOTS LISTEN UP hello

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD BE HOLDING ON TO.

Oof. Does she have a lawyer?

No, hang on...

Mwa-ha-ha-ha.

I can't think of a good pun so, er, happy birthday.

Are those... Valdimir Putin's eyes?

oh god oh god oh god that's terrible

The residents of Portland disagree.

It is too damn hot in Florida right now. Also:

I make odd faces in front of Photo Booth when I'm drunk (and on Skype with a chum).

Hooray! Better living through chemicals! Something I know about! Give them at least 6 weeks, to be sure - it can take that long to reach a steady state. You may find you get odd side effects during the first few weeks that go away after a while - or that there are side effects that take some time to come to the fore. It's part and parcel of things that affect brain chemistry. I highly recommend you look up your drug on CrazyMeds so you know a little of the details of how it works, how it may affect you and what alternatives you have if this one doesn't work out. Also take advantage of the mood lift to get yourself an appointment or three for talk therapy (your uni's student services or equivalent may even have counseling available). Think of it as a two-pronged attack on the creeping enemy of DePress.

I'm so disconnected from the UK despite my citizenship, but my heart breaks to see this and I feel so frustrated that we apparently knew it was coming. I remember Blackbird Leys back when that blew up in '91 (oh gods I am old), and the muddled mess of "fixes" and promises that no-one delivered. You can't disenfranchise and ghettoize entire segments of your population and expect nothing to happen! Everything everywhere is going to shit. Civilization is crumbling. Slow-motion Ragnarök. (Stay safe, Thumbs.)

Were you the guy mooning the LIVE CNN camera? [EDIT: Gods, he has the creepiest stare. It feels like he's scanning me and working out how much my organs would sell for. (SHUDDERS.) Anyway, if he wants to sell my organs he'll have to give half to Eric Cantor. There was a bit about that in the citizenship oath.] [EDIT EDIT: Where can one see your photos? And are you wearing fireproof pants? It appears to be required in Clapham.]

I liked that image so much I saved it to my MLKSHK.
