Yes indeedy--classic "whining author who's so angsty and can't stand to hear the bad awful words about her perfect little creation" authoress. She had NO idea what she was getting into, heh.

And I was in the wank, too! Yay!

Und . . . my response to the people who said we were being too harsh--Grow up, all of you. Criticism is a part of life. Those who can't handle it stay home and suck their thumbs. The rest of us eat Doritos.

	No kidding, she's practically inviting people to go mock her over there. I'm not mean or wanky enough to do it, but still... ...okay, I lie - I'm mean and wanky enough to at least consider doing it. But that's beside the point. ^^; (Reply to this)(Parent)

*the real irony is that that LJ user name is remarkably similar to that of the girl who created PotterSues. No, the two aren't connected, I just thought it was funny as all hell*

You mean that "ironychan" girl I've seen on the MS Report? *LOL* I didn't know it was her. Damn, that makes this shit all the funnier.

Anyway, I have to give some of them credit for keeping their claws mostly retracted (until they found out just how whiny she was, that is), and I have to agree that the supposed depression is probably an attempt at pity-whoring - I mean, I had a pretty bad case of depression during high school (still dealing with a relapse that struck during my second year of college, actually), and while people knew about it (kinda hard to keep secrets when it was a class of like, 75 or so), I was never willing to discuss the details of it with any of them*. In fact, I tended to try to act the opposite of what I felt - all cheerful and seemingly carefree. The LAST thing I wanted was for people to (try to) be nice because they "felt sorry" for me - I found that highly insincere and insulting, and I still do.

So yeah, typical teenage melodrama, in my book. Not nearly as wanky as that girl we once had at the MS Report whose "sister" claimed to be terminally ill, but still wanky.

*[Hell, I still have issues confiding everything with my psychiatrist, for crying out loud. Only my very closest friends get to hear about this shit, and even then I tend to be hesitant because I really don't like to bother people with my problems. Just the way I was brought up, I guess. *shrug*]

I was also depressed back in hs--nearly strangled a kid to death, tried to commit suicide, etc. And a lot of depressed people don't go around "bragging" about it or using it as an excuse; I think using depression as an excuse for behavior is just stupid and wrong, anyway. Part of being a responsible adult is not trying to blame all problems on someone/something else.

Sore wa... *waggles finger* ^_^

And actually, yeah - if the girl was really depressed, or just a bit more mature, she wouldn't be running around whining at all and sundry about it. Stupid meathead.

And, *yes*, this actually made me think to go look up the crazy 104-post wank we had a few months back over the terminally ill Dragonhart girl, and all her little sockpuppets/seesters/cronies. ^^ I think I'll post that soon.

Wow, Aruru, our similarities are uncanny. One of my greatest worries is burdening anybody with my private shit, up to and including my girlfriend (though she swears up and down that I'm never a burden to her, bless her for it). And as for the cheerful-and-carefreeness? I used to cut my wrist and wrap it up in toilet paper to staunch the bleeding, and then tell people who asked that the toilet paper was a fashion statement. And people believed me. Really reinforced my faith in humanity, that.

Oh, ummm... I am a productive and healthy member of society. I am a productive and healthy member of society. Nothing was ever wrong ever. I'm a patriot. Just 'cause I'm on medication does not mean I am not associated with Osama bin Quaida in any way...

And I see you everywhere anyway, so friend me damnit. ::clings::

I still do the cheerful-and-carefree behavior, personally, though now it's not so much as with the intent of covering up anything as just the simple notion that "Well, wallowing isn't going to do crap, so I might as well just try not to give it too much thought and stick it out with as much grace and good humor as possible - and who knows, maybe I'll actually get better faster that way."

Can't say it really works, but I do find that enforcing (or at least trying to) this mentality on myself makes things a bit more bearable for me on the bad days.

As for self-destructive behavior, mine was all either internal overly self-critical diatribes or went into severely slacking off at school. I think I only contemplated the suicide thing like once (and never acted upon it, common sense regarding that kicked in real quick), and explosive violent behavior towards others only happened very VERY rarely, once I had simply HAD IT with the stress. So I'm pretty thankful that my situation has never been as bad as it could be - it's just annoyingly persistent, like a fly that's after your meal. ^^;

And I see you everywhere anyway, so friend me damnit. ::clings::

*LOL* I think I will, just because of the sheer cojones you had in "demanding" the Friending. X)
