Well, to prove worthy of my new title "pathologically prolific" I went and wrote the remaining eight pages of second chapter of my script. Currently it looks like this:
13 page chapter one, three page interlude/bridge, 52 page chapter two. :D

The 2009 Rant, Vent, and Share thread
My best friend's boyfriend just broke up with her…he basically told her she has a "negative energy" and a bunch of other shit and left her crying on the sidewalk. What a gentleman, right? Grr. I can't believe he would blame her for his own negative feelings. My best friend is one of the most positive, lively people I have ever met. So I just spent the last two hours comforting her and now my pizza is cold, I feel sick and I'm pissed off at this guy.
I'm sorry Hippie Van <3. Hope your day goes better! :]
Welll, so today is the day I took pictures of my body for my progress thing I do every Wednesday, just for my own records. And well, I'm getting thinner, and my muscles are getting bigger! I haven't exactly been eating well, so that doesn't really help. But just the fact that my body slimmed down then, is great. I just gotta keep it up.
Oh! And I signed up for Project Wonderful. I'm a bit mad though, because I only have about 2 dollars in my Paypal to use, and Project Wonderful demands you put at LEAST 5 dollars in. I don't have a credit card or anything (I actually use this ad site to earn money for it), and I don't have enough pages posted yet (it says 30. I have 29 XD) to put ads on my comic, to earn revenue for this. I think I'll apply anyway, since it updates tomorrow.
told her she has a "negative energy"People like that can be awful if you're trying not to feel like crap yourself, pointing out the worst in everything and making fun of stuff you want to feel good about. It's best to just cut off contact with those people since you can't make them be positive.
Since you said she wasn't the guys just being a turd and trying to bring her to his level, he's the one with negative energy.

Yeah, this guy was never very nice to me…very argumentative, but I never said anything because she liked him and spent a lot more time with him than I did, so I figured she knew better. Maybe he was just a douchebag the whole time.
Wow, today was not a good day. I finally worked up the courage to take an art class and the art gallery just called to tell me it was cancelled. They said I could register for another class, but they start next week so I imagine the only spaces are going to be in pottery and shit like that. I was really looking forward to it.
my ex gf told me that before. The negative energy thing.
A few weeks after we broke up, she sent me an email saying all kinds of stuff that sounded like "ooga-booga" back then.
Good thing I didnt delete it. And when I read it just recently, as well as remember other topics that we discussed, it all makes sense.
I suspect she's been initiated into some form of higher knowledge.

I'm fighting off the urge to make a crack about higher knowledge = breaking up with you. :P Jk.
Seriously though, why is EVERYTHING you say about some conspiracy thing? You know, sometimes a breakup is just about one person not liking the other, and not about aliens and corrupt government and big brother. You need to calm down a little, you must be like a paranoid little ball in your closet if that's the kind of stuff you're thinking about ALL the time.

Conspiracies are amazing.
Like the one where teddy bears will one day rain from the sky, and they will seem all snuggly, but come to find out, that's the beginning of the Apocalypse.
I'm serious here guys. Super, super, serious.
:P
I barely got to draw today, but it's alright. Tomorrow's Thursday.
Oh, and this cute girl in my 5th hour (she's a senior) seems to like talking to me. I was making a poster for this "Drama Day" thing, where these little kids come to my school and we show them drama stuff. And when I was drawing it, I was like "Damn. This looks like crap." and she's like, "No it doesn't! It looks good!" and just a whole bunch of nice things.
I doubt she likes me somehow. But it would be really, REALLY cool if she did.
:D
Ryu, alls you think about is girls. ;)

100% agreed on the negative energy thing. I absolutely cannot be around those people. Which is kind of ironic, since that's how I've been for the better part of the past four years. Sure, there's mitigating circumstances, but it still sucks to know that I'm that asshole who hates everything. Honestly- that's why I don't speak to anyone. I mean, I miss having friends, but I'd rather be lonely than be some soul-sucking, perpetually complaining wet towel that can't shut up about how rotten life is. To hell with the emo crap, I say.

she broke up with me because we weren't really compatible.
lmao I'm not blaming it on some kind of conspiracy why she broke up with me. lol I'm not like that. I'm not some schizophrenic who blames everything bad in my life on some sort of conspiracy.
I wonder what its like.
- OMG my toilet is clogged! Must be those gray aliens!!!
- OMG my car broke down! Must be the agents of the illuminati sabotaging my car!!!
- OMG I'm having nightmares! Must be the devil!!!
Anyway, this knowledge about vibrations, negative energy, etc. isn't something thats normally taught in mainstream religion and science.

Aw…your life should be full of friends(but not too full, because people can be annoying) the same way you're filled with amazingness, Hyena!
Today sucks…so I'm eating dinner with my best friend and my girlfriend and..well heres what happened
Logan: *gets up* I'n done with you,goodbye *walks away*
Rohan : it hurts inside right now, doesn't it
Me: ….
Rohan: Got an empty feeling in your stomach
Me: umm yeah?
Rohan: Then you miss her
Me: damn
And now she hates me, FOR NO REASON…
Itr's shit like this that ruins my day
I recently discovered that I have clinical depression. In other words, I no longer have any enthusiasm for anything and cannot motivate myself, people doing the slightest things irritate me for no reason, but I am desperate for human contact. Also, nobody gives a shit, including family. So here I am, back on the internet.
Welcome fellow clinically depressed person. I know all too well what you're going through.
Time to work out those coping mechanisms and build a support network! Bullshit. Can't I just put long steel needles through my eyes?
Don't you love how at times everything feels like you're being tortured? Waterboarding? hah! We should just give those terrorists clinical depression. lol!
Watch your favorite movies. Do something you really enjoy or that you can lose yourself in. Both help. The long steel needles are just a bit too painful though watching the Classic SNL bit about them is great. :)
My favorite part is choking back tears every moment of every day for no discernible reason.
Also, I've burned through my Coen Brothers movie collection about five times by now, Barton Fink doesn't help ease the crushing despair, but the rest are pretty amusing.
i was bored and i found these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=220393438644#ht_500wt_1182
now i'm really tempted to make an airsoft replica of the comedian's 1911.

That sucks. :/ At least you're able to talk to someone about it, even though it's in a sort-of way and to internet people.
I'm gonna be the person who tells you to see a doctor and ask about some antidepressants. Major depression is brain chemistry man, and SSRIs are amazing things. I've been there, I kept avoiding meds at first, but as soon as they got into my system it was like night and day. I could actually get up in the morning, and once I was up I could do more than sit around thinking how unhappy I was.
I need a midget who can follow me around and be my word filter by kicking me in the shin every time I'm about to say something really stupid. I was chatting with a nice girl, and lo and behold I managed to call her mom a bitch without even realizing it. I keep doing this repeatedly too. I end up saying something, intending it to come out one way or be slightly exaggerated for the joke to be funny and instead it comes out another way that's insensitive, dumb or just plain ends up making it sound like some fantastic tale that couldn't really happen.
I really need to kick this habit of saying stupid things and making jokes that get taken seriously as actual stories.
I'm really ambivalent about meds; I think they should be approached very cautiously, especially for someone your age, Sea Cow. Any treatment like this should be accompanied by therapy, and monitored very closely by a psychiatrist, as well as your family and those around you. I too avoided them for a really long time, but I've had a very mixed track record with their effectiveness.My favorite part is choking back tears every moment of every day for no discernible reason.

Anti-depressants can do amazing things. But whenever you're messing with brain chemistry, it's dangerous territory. Basically these things- they don't know how they work exactly; they've got some good ideas, but as far as it being a scientific certainty- it's not. Some drugs that are life-savers for some people can be very harmful to others. SSRIs can do wonders for clinical depression, but in certain age groups or for certain people they can be harmful. Mind you, it's only 2-3% of teenagers, but in same cases they can produce suicidal ideations that didn't necessarily exist before.
I was innitially misdiagnosed with "clinical depression" (I'm bipolar, but didn't ever seek treatment during manic episodes, because… well, it's like being on drugs; why would you? You feel great and superhuman. Who wouldn't want that?) SSRIs aren't meant for that disease, and the result was an attempted suicide and a charming stay in a mental institution. Years later I was put on a different SSRI, and the same thing happened, with the whole "suddenly and inexplicably I feel that the only good solution is probably to slit my wrists!" thing. (Luckily I was able to recognize that the suicidal crap was a product of the medicine, and not me, and got off the drugs before things got bad.)
Thankfully I eventually got on the right medicine, which isn't a miracle cure, but it shortens the length/ severity of my episodes, and prolongs the space between episodes. Which is peachy keen, since I'm prone to really self-destructive, "f**k up your life by making irrational and impulsive decisions in the span of like, a week" beahvior during the manic ones, and pretty much a non-functional, mentally paralyzed mess during the depressive ones.
But to reiterate my point- not every medicine works for everyone, and not everyone needs medicine.
I empathise with ya, bro, and hope you take whatever steps you can to get your head right. I'd also suggest to keep talking to people about it- the worst thing you can do is cut yourself off from your friends, family, and social venues (or "support network", as the docs like to call it.) Best of luck to ya, and don't be squeamish about askin' for help. I wish I'd done it sooner instead of spending the better part of my life bein' controlled by that kind of stuff.
You're bipolar? You're the first bipolar person i've actually liked/doesn't act like an f-ing retard every chance they get. That may sound cold but i've been around more bipolar people than ive wanted too and they're goddamn jerkwads (yeah yeah it's 'not their fault' they weren't taking their meds and didn't want to)
I'm going to do this juice detox thing, where you just make juice for a few days and only drink blended juice. I'm all about the blended carrots and celery stalks.
An honest psychiatrist will tell you that meds are a crap shoot. He/she prescribes things until he/she finds a cocktail that works. I have been very, very lucky in that regard. Never knew how fortunate I was until I got into group therapy.
One of the greatest thing is to find out you're not alone and can share with others how you feel, get feedback because it helps putting up with the BS that is depression/bi-polar. Be careful with diagnoses of bi-polar, recent evidence indicates it is way over diagnosed just like ADHD/ADD and autism. The highs could just be a normal state and the contrast appears very drastic.
The DSV expands the diagnosis and suddenly every child has ADHD or is autistic.
I hang out with too many Social Workers and psychologists.
Next update is Sunday and there are still no new photos. At least I set up the figures for the next scene and could just wander into my workroom and start taking pictures… nah, I'll just goof off… shouldn't be playing on the computer as I've had to ice my elbow and wear my wrist brace which is directly related to typing, mouse, touch pad, etc.
Over the years I've grown very tolerant of "negative energy" as it has become so much easier to understand (having a bad day?) and able to fight with that "not taking anything seriously" They hate that. They also hate hearing from someone with good listening skills who repeat their feelings right back to them, take them apart piece by piece and they wander away realizing how without basis their negative feelings were. People hate perceptive insight. But they always come back for more.
"Stop with the negative waves, Moriarty."
"I've had nothing but positive thoughts about that bridge since we left."
"Get back in your hole while I think."
Kelly's Heroes Oddball and Moriarty resemble most crew/tank commander relationship I saw in 10 years on tanks. I got "back in my hole" numerous times. lol!
Blah. I wasn't feeling up to much this week, that's why Skool very kindly did Thursday's feature for me. I had a very, very down time…
Still not 100% which is why I cut back on the form a bit. But I got a comic page done, which was a little boost- I did most of the finishing off and effects while lying in my bed using my little Graphire. It was nice to work that way.
Glad you're back, Oz :] And that you got a page done! Maybe your block is going away? :]
Apparently there's nothing whatsoever wrong with my work laptop, because the tech guy got it, plugged it in, got lights, turned in on fine, spent 15 hours in test mode or something… anyway diagnostics all came back fine and everything. Which pisses me off because I'm good enough with computers to know when something's broken mistakenly (like it just needs a new fuse in the plug, or do other troubleshooting things) and when something is really broken, and this was really broken. The tech guy believes me that there is a problem but he can't find it, and he's unwilling to send it to have it looked at because there's a wait and a 100 pound fee.
So, I'll pick it back up tomorrow morning. I guess I'll just have to see whether it works once it's back in my hands. At least if it does work, I can work on my comics over the weekend. :] And back up every day in case it decides to die suddenly again…
