Stuff. Nonstandard teenage fantasies. Also, things.

1. At first I was going to break the chain of happy blogs and have a bit of a vent since work was building up and I was feeling ill and my social life had stopped improving... But then I realised something.

Yes, I wasn't happy with my life. And in fact, it was the first time since coming out of depression that I had been genuinely unhappy. And it was interesting. Because it was different.

When I was depressed, unhappiness meant life failure -> total emotional collapse -> lie in bed for three days and lament. Now, while I'm still not happy, the grey, numbing fog that I was expecting didn't come. I just saw the problems, understood why they were difficult, and was sad. That was then tempered by the knowledge that now my life was going somewhere, and the new me, the more resilient me, could get over those problems and at some point be happy again.

So I'm sad. But I'm not torn up about it either. Is this what optimism is? Because I have a sudden urge to say 'I know it'll be alright'.

2. Rather than drunkeness or casual drug use, I have extreme tiredness and poor nutrition, like the hallucinating spirit-callers of the Stone Age. Like many drugs, it causes an increased perception of my own abilities. This often manifests in the form of inane conversation, poorly-advised art and a total ignorance of social boundaries. The following drawing is therefore posted here with no further explanation.



FACT: Disgruntled Intern's beard can actually do this.

Yes, those are fists forming from MA's moustache.
The book I'm holding is the Avoluminous Encyclopædia of All Knowledge. It's really heavy and I hit people with it.
That thing in my mouth is a pipe.
The perspective is wrong and I forgot what DI looked like apart from the beard, but what do you expect at two in the morning?

\X/ I keep forgetting you're only the age you are. You're one of the most mature individuals I've had contact with. I'm so glad you haven't turned to alcohol and drug-use like a lot of people in your situation. Stay strong, MM.

\X/ I really didn't realise you suffered from depression in whatever form it manifests in. For some people our years are horrible, but like you said, they have to get better right? If nothing else you can look forward to unparalleled freedom my friend.

I'm glad you're starting to feel better. I used to get depressed when I was in high school and in the first half of college, but after a while, I stopped giving a fuck and I've been great since.
And continue with the art, because that is fucking funny. Great stuff.

EDIT: /X\. I want to see the worst punctuation and spelling in the world, hence the inversion.

I want to see a full development of this epic conflict of beard, sideburns, and mustache madness.

Every issue of this comic needs to end with “well, that was a close shave! *laughter*”

Also welcome to optimism, hope you stay a while.

Also \ecks/, because I’m shallow enough to want to know others’ opinions of me.

Anyway *hugs* Im glad that you feel somewhat positive It's nice when people turn around and say "You know what? Im not gonna let this depression get the better of me. I know life is hard and it sucks, but in the end, I'll win"... or something along those lines.

\X/ 4 lyfe!

\X/, because I do, in fact, give two shits about what you have to say.

Also, I am constantly forgetting that I'm older than you. It's fucking baffling to me that I was barking some of my shittier ichor at you two years ago and managed to get outsmarted or at least cooled off thanks to general reasonability every fucking time.
