The support means the world to me, and thanks to your kind contributions I was able to go and visit my boy in Britain. I'll try and mock up a proper recap blog—though I am notoriously terrible at doing those, I don't think I've ever managed a proper recap blog for any of the various conventions I've gone to over the years. I guess there wasMay Update and AMA · 5:52pm May 8th, 2016
Hey y'all, happy mother's day! Sorry I'm so late with this blog (or any kind of blog in general). I've been absolutely fucked for most of April. If you and your mom are still on good terms, let you know you love her. And even if you're not... try or something? Or don't, I dunno, I'm just some dude on the internet, I can't give you advice worth for shit.
Anyway, this past month I've been absolutely destroyed; for those of you who don't know, I have, amongst other things, severe depression. They have me on fluoxetine (prozac), which is insanely addictive, but doesn't really work very well. I've been trying to quit it, but it's difficult, as when your body is used to taking a certain level of prozac, when you don't take it you freak out and it's like being in the absolute worst stages of depression again. This past month, in order to ease the quitting of the prozac, I've been consuming many other substances.
Protip: don't do this, you'll become a drug addict.
I haven't done much writing, but I do have a story in the works, so that's good, I like to think. I don't really write while under the influence, and most of the past month has been spent not sober, so I'm afraid not a lot of progress has been made.
This is also an "ask me anything" blog, of course... so if you have anything to ask me, please: ask me.

3930054 wtf
What is your favorite book?
Who is your spirit Lycra?
What inspires you to write?
When was the last time you were happy, Regidar?
3930231
I am refusing to take anxiety medication because I'm too scared.
Any advice of mine would be dishonest and full of shit.
I don't mean to condone or reinforce negligence, but you know
trading off, taking turns
don't regret a thing
What's your favorite substance to consume
You've been titrating (tapering off) the Prozac, I hope, 'cause going cold-turkey with antidepressants is going to be a bad time. At least it isn't venlafaxine (effexor)...
I'm glad we got to meet and hang out at Babs con. Good luck getting off of Prozac
hah
growing up is fun isn't it
Have you seen footage?
3931851 Still noided, bro
3930054 thanks fam
3930165 I don't know. My favorite one book would probably have to be Brave New World, or something like that... my favorite book series is Harry Potter, though.
3930231 all sorts of things. Lots of ambient/vaporwave/emo/post-rock, though. I like stuff that's atmospheric for writing. I really, really love emo though, so I can do just about anything while listening to it.
3930264 the fuck is a lycra
3930279 Whatever; sometimes it's a picture, sometimes it's an idea from another piece of media, and sometimes it just happens out of the blue. I'm constantly thinking about writing/composing/whatever, though, so maybe being "inspired" is a force of habit at this point. Everything inspires me in some way.
3930289 you can't reasonably expect me to recall a memory that far in the past
3930442 any kind of opiate, but i'm a massive scrub and usually i'm only taking the dank green
3930529 yes I have, I'm only on 10mg a day as of right now. Hoping to drop that to zero soon enough
3930966 thanks man
3931062 not even enough to humor your remark
3940637 It's the race that Pink Guy is. For you, I'd say Salamander Man is your spirit Lycra, no?
3940649 nyes
3940637
By Aldous Huxley? I haven't read it yet. Right now I'm reading Hamlet.
3940663 Hamlet is good
and Brave New World is incredible
3940672
I know that the title is derived from one of Miranda's lines in The Tempest (which I have read). When I finish Hamlet I'll be sure to keep Brave New World in mind, I've been wanting to read it. Have you read anything else by Shakespeare, and if so do you have a favorite?
I've read Romeo& Juliet, The Tempest, Julius Ceasar, and Macbeth so far.
3940637 Ah opioids are alright, and dank greens are always a solid choice. Do you know Kratom?
3940685 I have to say, as far as Shakespeare goes, it's got to be Henry the VII
3940730 can't say I do
3941735
Oh boy, he was a character alright.
3941735 it's a very cheap legal drug that essentially has the effects of an opiate. Check it out if you're really an opiate fan.
