Hi Racer, and Pullmarine, if you're reading.
I started reading through all the notes above that Pullmarine pasted about suicide and the replies. And my very first thought after reading through it all several times was, god, if you weren't depressed before reading all this stuff, you certainly would be after!
< < ... everything you've posted sounds so -- je ne sais quois... I'd hate to think that someone so stimulating had left the world of his own volition, and out of finding life "painful, boring, and I'd rather not have to go through it." > >
And then I read the above, and I so totally agree with it. I find it truly staggering that someone with such intelligence and ... oh, I don't know the word I'm looking for... but somone who obviously has such amazing thought processes should want to relieve the world of his presence. And that there are obviously people close to him that don't seem to give a shit if he does.
I'd love to have the chance of meeting with you Pullmarine, although I know that's not possible.
I had a severe asthma attack the Christmas before last, had to be intubated, and as a result there was a period of time when there was no oxygen going to my brain, the result of which there was minor damage, and I can no longer think the way I used to be able to. I used to be a really hot PC network support analyst, but now I have to really struggle my way through technical problems which used to come easy. I wish, Pullmarine, I had your clarity of thought, and I wish there was something I could say to cheer you up that didn't sound thoughtless, wet, stupid, careless.
But oh, I feel these things and I cannot put them into words. Please excuse this scatty post.
Lisa
