thnk god someone finally spoke up about this. i've listened to you
people tout the laughing man for a long time, but i've been too shy to
admit that *i don't understand it*.
i guess i was afraid i'd get a 'duh!' response a la brendan's tidy
wrapping up of teddy.
but now, the truth is out. i find the laughing man difficult, and i'd
like it if you all could share your ideas about it.

quote of the week 02 jan 1998:
'if you have scars on your wrists from suicide attempts,
by all means display them proudly. the same goes for
bruises, cuts, and track marks. Abscesses, however
should always be coyly veiled in filmy black fabric.'
