YOU'RE MAKING ME LAUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH:D

"SHANIqUA NEEDS TO BE A BIGGGGGGG DOGGGG"? THAT SOUNDS KINDA BAD:) I'M LAUGHING SO HARD RIGHT NOW!!!

HOW ABOUT I DON'T RESEND IT:D?

How about you laugh, and then resend it with a subject that won't get you locked up, like "Request for appointment", or something?

BECAUSE I'LL SPELL IT WRONG!!!

It's not copyrighted, hon, you can cut and paste what I wrote, if you want. Besides, I think it's legal for college students to misspell words; it may even commonplace. :-P

if they don't e-mail back by this time next week i'll copy and paste what you wrote. maybe.

i'm so stupid:( i thought if i started drinking it would make me happy. but i'm sad. i was happy for a while... a little while. i feel like such a loser drinking on my own in my room. i'm kinda cold.

Sweety, I'm sorry. Wrap yourself up warm and think about going to sleep. You don't have to be sad; and tomorrow you probably won't be.

Drinking doesn't usually solve anything, just postpones it, with interest.

i probably will be. because i'm sad every day.

Meh, and you laugh every day, too, at least a little.

You don't have to focus on the sad, if you don't want to.

just because i laugh doesn't mean i'm happy.

Nope, and just because you're sad when you drink doesn't mean you're always sad.

maybe not all the time but MOST of the time.

Yes, I understand you're sad most of the time. That's part of why you should think about talking to someone professionally, because that's not any fun, and it doesn't have to be true.

i'll try be better.

Aw, you're special just like you are, sweety.

You don't need to be "better", just happy.

i don't know. i definitely don't feel special.

better is happy.

I know you don't feel special, little one.

Too many people telling you too much bull- ... stuff for too long.

Listen to your friends, sweety. You know who we are.

You are special. Because you're our friend. And, if you want, because you're ginger, and big and brave. But I don't need any reason except, for instance, that you went to the trouble to find me a picture of a three-legged ass.

oh i forgot about the 3 legged ass..!

How can you forget a three-legged ass? :-)

ok there's a house party in my kitchen right now.

i don't know how i forgot the 3 legged ass.

Does the house party mind how your roommates left the kitchen? :-)

What would you say to going and joining them, and trying to have fun without drinking?

it's ok we tidied the kitchen earlier.

i'd say no way.. i was out there a minute ago but i can't socialise right now. i'm pretending to be doing art in my room. i don' t mean to be unsociable. i hope my housemates don't think i'm doing it on purpose because i'm not. i just have no energy.

See, they can do it when they want to. Make sure they remember that.

Meh. It's okay not to be in the mood.

Can you do some art, instead of moping? At least you wouldn't have to focus on being sad.

no. i'm going to bed soon.
