| Mine is taken from "Glitterdammerung". This is the final chapter of Grant Morrison's "The Invisibles". It's just such a cool quote - sort of post-neo-alternative-anti-conformity, for want of a better term. And it's also a neat play on words (revolution, re*cog*nize, wheel ;) ). Glitterdammerung is o... |

| My friend has a rather unique way of dealing with social anxiety (which I know may not be what you're talking about, but I just love it so much): There'll be a bunch of strangers, and when he gets the adrenaline rush that accompanies anxiety, he'll picture himself doing something that will make the ... |

| I think in essence what I'm trying to say is, why waste energy supporting cannabis? What good can come out of it? The only reason it's so popular is it's drop-dead easy to "manufacture" and that it's "pimped out" so regularily by mainstream media that it's become an integral part of certain lifestyl... |

I have as much respect for alcohol as I do for cannabis. Don't worry, I go into my psychotic rages about that too 
So if people were to make alcohol illegal I'd actually be quite happy.
I feel the same way for tobacco. |

| And to add, I've decided that I'm not ever going to go out of my way to "meet" any women. Instead I'll use the energy to solve the problem of loneliness alone. I've got confidence that this can be done as there seems to be no other way. |

| For me, because I was extremely incompetent in this area, going to psychologists, psychiatrists, groups and reading books and articles was the only place to start learning. From there I reached a point of confidence to be able to begin interacting socially. And from here it's always trial and error.... |

| But as for my views on cannabis - it is pathetic and more than just a little bit over-rated. I'm sick of people trying to give cannabis a good name. Ok, so it's not physically addictive - neither is catching a good movie nor listening to good song, or meditating for that matter. Ok, so it doesn't ma... |

| I think I could handle jerks - I have to work with some of the jerkiest people around so I've learnt how to handle the worst of the worst. And I think I should add to my previous message - I also feel that moving out from my parents and into a flat would force me to be more productive generally. I g... |

| This is from Henry Rollins' The Boxed Life. The track is called I Know You. "I know you. You are too short. You have bad skin. You couldn't talk to them very well. Words didn't seem to work. They lied when they came out of your mouth. You tried so hard to understand them. You wanted to be part of wh... |

| This is a question for those that have had this experience. I'm 22 and haven't lived outside of my parents' house. I'm closer and closer to moving out because I hate living with them. Part of this is that I have pretty much no proper friends and I feel that this is holding me back from making any. S... |

This thread was a test.
Although I appreciate the replies on the first page, nobody answered my question. As from there it's been 90% bollocks. Thanks for the confirmation wrongplanet. |

| Well I was inspired by this thread and trimmed myself "down there" yesterday. First time ever and I've only got good vibes from it - makes me feel 14 again! It's like a fresh start for that area above my *ahem*. And no I'm not going to post any pics even though my snail trail is so much hotter than ... |
