What a little cutie!

If you really want to hurt your parents, and you don't have the nerve to be a homosexual, the least you can do is go into the arts. But do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites, standing for absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: Hey, Cain, what's your take on Scottish independence?
« on: June 16, 2013, 05:27:10 pm »
Haha, yeah, I'd noticed Minitrue seem to have a bee in their bonnet. Part of the reason I suspected there was no way this was going to be allowed to go ahead. Have to wait and see, I guess. This issue is potentially lulzy enough to actually get me off my arse and down to a polling station, thereby breaking the habit of a lifetime.

When it comes to repressed memories, it doesn't seem that far fetched to me. I have false memories. Once you've seen one of those from the inside, you know there's pretty much nothing that the human brain aint capable of making itself think or believe.
When I was writing this series the memories weren't repressed. Like Nigel said, they were just shit I hadn't really thought about in years. In the process of sticking it on the internet for a bunch of anonymous weirdos to read, tho, I found out why. I was afraid of them. You can't remember stuff like that without going back into that headspace. I was scared if I did that I'd get stuck there again. Turns out I didn't, tho. Turns out I really am stronger and better at controlling it, nowadays. Better at avoiding the vortex of bizarre that can suck you down so far you forget which way is up.
Those memories, tho, they happened to a different person. I don't mean that in a dissociative way, either. It's not a cop-out. The guy who went through that shit was me alright but it was a different incarnation of me. Just a kid. He didn't know what I know. He didn't have the strength and ability to fend off the demons. That came after. That came as a result of what the kid went through. He was weak and defenseless. I used to hate him for that but not now. How else could he have reacted? He wasn't me yet. But his sacrifice and his pain and his weakness, made me who I am.
He died for my sins.

« on: June 14, 2013, 03:04:17 pm »So finally got our appointment for our work visas in the UK. Assuming all goes well, we will be headed to somewhere near Buckinghamshire in the next month. Also, looks like I might be in Edinbourough sometime in the next couple weeks for a few days.
Having never been to Scotland, anything I should be aware of?
Also, Cain or anyone else nearish London, any recommendations on which counties west of the city are good (not horridly expensive) to find a place to live? The office is in Penn.

Prozac and whisky should keep the suicidal thoughts manageable.
If anyone in a tracksuit approaches you, you've just been invited to a knife fight. Stick him first.
Under no circumstances should you put donner kebab meat anywhere near your mouth. The integrity of your genetic structure may well depend on it. In fact even just touching it may well be enough to cause an irrevocable glandular imbalance.

The highlands are awesome. Pretty much the whole rest is a shithole. Other than the accents you wouldn't know you weren't in fucking england. Guess where I'm stuck.
There's kinda two me's. When I get north of Tyndrum I'm a nice, friendly, happy go lucky guy with not a care in the world. When I'm back home my game face slams down, oozing hate at anyone who makes the mistake of crossing my path.
I can't wait til I've got my shit together enough to get the fuck out of here. The longer I'm in this hell hole, the more compelled I feel to set the whole thing on fire just for the satisfaction of watching it burn.

I am presently unaware of any incident of earnestly reaching out in my past. For this reason I can only assume that I have no face reserved for this purpose and that my face would default to homicidal rage or sarcastic sneer in the event that I ever did.

True dat. Glen Etive, a regular haunt of mine. Mobile signal runs out about a mile before you get down to where they're standing. Civilisation - fuck off!
Here's a pic I took just around the corner from there, of one of the locals

We're all selfish little monkeys, we always will be.
Having a government makes the exploitation more predictable than having wandering robber gangs.
This! Although, the fact that I would most likely be part of one of those gangs is why I'm still pro-anarchy
