When people don't respond to your posts or PMs within 30 seconds, it's because they hate you.  When the board is dead, it's because nobody wants to talk to you.  When someone cuts you off in traffic, they did it on purpose, just to piss you off.  People call your cellphone just to eke out that little bit of extra annoyance you get from being startled by the ringtone.  When people don't answer YOUR calls, it's because they're tired of you.

The mailman is in on it, too.  But you knew that.

When someone ahead of you doesn't accelerate fast enough for you when the light turns green, it's because they're trying to make sure you get stuck at the intersection for another red light.  If your SO is being quiet, it's because he/she is mad at you.  Don't get him/her talking though, because the next thing he/she says will be "Let's just be friends".

And whether you can hear it or not, the universe is laughing behind your back.

Mine has been for a couple of months.  Not like last time, though.

It helps to type them out, to see how silly they look in the light of day.

I thought it was just me.  :oops:  I've gotten so damned paranoid lately I've just kind of stopped having any contact with the outside world  :|

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

Yeah.  There's more.  I'll post them as they occur to me.  Anyone else can feel free to do so, too.

Well, sure.  God hates that sort of behavior.

He also kills young children to test their parents' faith.

When people don't answer your PMs, it's because they were offended, or didn't really want to hear from you in the first place. When nobody comments on you Fecebook, it's because they all think you're going nuts, and also because you're going overboard with trying to spread ideas. When bullshit gets in the way of plans and your friends have to cancel, they were actually glad to have whatever crisis so they don't have to hang out with you.

Which is, of course, utter rot.

That's a really good idea. I hope things get better. For both of us. I am having trouble with the impending doom.
