please excuse all the typos. i'm really tired.
dear tom cruise,
how are you? good? that's good.
i'm glad to see that you are so overcome with joy lately, what with all the couch-dancing and floor-punching and flashing of those pearly whites. you are truly a
i am writing to you not as a fan - although 'cocktail' is like totally my fave movie 4 evs - but as a young woman saved by your crusade against the evils of psychiatry and mood-altering medication.
you see tommy - can i call you tommy? - for several years now i have been struggling with depression. for longer than i can remember there has been a black hole deep down inside of me that opens and closes at random, sometimes with neither cause nor warning. at first i blamed it on the eating disorder, but i beat that long ago. and yet the black hole did not close. so then i thought my parents' ill health could be the root cause of my sorrow. but no, no, wrong again.
and now thanks to you tommy - fuck it, i'm calling you tommy. cope - i have discovered the error of my ways, the arbiter of my anguish, the thorn in my side. thank you for guiding me along the path to
so today i fired my psychologist and threw out every last pack of my anti-depressants. and i feel
and

thanks again, and i'll see you at the next

Sorry to repost, but soem of you may not read my initial post.
I know how many of you out there absolutely LOVE me, but I want to be serious for a moment.
Many of you bloggers profess to being progressive lefties. Well now is the time to put your money where your mouth is.
The union movement is under attack by the neo fascist Howard Government. As a result the Union movement has organised a number of different big public events over the next two days throughout Australia. For more information on them go to:
http://actu.asn.au/work_rights/get_involved/
By being involved you will tell that right-wing fuckwit Howard that you are opposed to his hideous agenda, as well as supporting those people who fight for what is just and right.
Please be active!
Aleks.
woops, fucked up the word some.
Aleks
hey aleks, you know i love you and respect your passion, but perhaps coming on to my blog TWICE and CHALLENGING me and MY READERS to take up a cause is not the right way to go about spreading the spread.
i will not defend my passion for "lefty causes" to you.
perhaps your own blog would be a good idea?
spreading the word. THE WORD.
It's ok, Aleks, I'm going. I'm going. There! Ya got a reply.
Now, Nads - is Roger Tommy's personal trainer? I've been trying to get to the bottom of this rumour and Kranki can't/won't shed any light.
Nads speaks the truth. Comments are a kick-booty way to exchange ideas and thoughts and rude expressions and sexual innuendo, but using them as a vehicle to preach your own message - well, it's probably better to kick off your own blog, as Nads gently suggested.
Once you DO though - booyah! People can read you and go "fuck yeah!" and write posts inspired by your words and link to you and rise to your challenges and everything. You make good points but hitting bloggers' (unrelated) posts (in this case, twice) and trumpeting your own message could be considered spamming.
Please start a blog, Aleks. I'd be fucking keen as mustard to read it - in a good way.
Meanwhile...
A marvellous letter, Nadine! Funny, touching, personal and yet universal - three thumbs up, and may L.Ron have mercy on your soul.

Great stuff. Out with cruise. He is such a shit loser. Not that he's shit at losing. Just that...
Fuck it.
I guess that chick in the roast advert all those years ago had a point. She'd rather have the roast than Tommy.
He's completely flipped his lid.
Nads, you are fucking brilliant.
(I'm allowed to sat the F word in a comment)
Insightful. Honest. Revealing. SO funny.
I love you.

Ah...that's "say" the F word.
I'm a bit addicted to you like corn chips right now - SO flavoursome.
Hope you got your essay done/almost done. I'm off to report the news. Just wish I could think of a story or two.
thanks beautiful cyinic, if i be the corn chips, you be da guacamole, baby.
and thanks for your help last night. and by "help", i mean...well, help.
oh, and darcy, not as much as i love you, sweet girl.
Yay. I've called in sick again. Opened my mouth, couldn't talk.
Ooh, I love sickies. What's our word count? How we lookin'? Almost done?
depression is nothing a brisk walk and some vitamins can't cure... I know that one day when I was ready to jump off the rialto I thought to myself...mmm... perhaps some vitamin C may make me feel better. Sure enough, it did! Thanks Tommy... You sure are smart, and brave. I'm glad I listened to you (even though you look like you eat babies)...
Also, please rescue my home-schooled 16 year old cousin from becoming a minister for the church of Scientology! I mean really, what kind of organisation lets a 16 year old be a minister?
i'll let you know when i reach the 1500 mark cynic. clawing my way there. if only this stupid "job" i have to do for money would stop getting in the way of my life and other commiments.
Don't know if you got my intitial post but,
trying to get a bunch of young liberals together to discuss some of the finer points of why the unions should be burnt to the ground and then had sex with aggressively. Bring some matches and some protection, those unions are filthy.
http://whatever.sp.are_me.com
I hear ya. Customers too. If it wasn't for stupid customers I could get my job done so much quicker.
Count me in, Cotton. I've never been to a Young Libs bash before. Sounds like a positive riot.
*Walks in with matches and a stackhat*
*Looks around*
*wallet reveals he used that expired condom last night*
*Picks up placard, pulls down pants, bends over and joins union types*
Speading the spread
Heh.
hey kartar! thanks for stopping by!
I can't see what your problem is. It's the scientology that will change your lives...(and turn you into a fucking nut case)
fuckin' ay nads.
Tom is heading in the direction of being referred to by the acronym CTC (a la CMJ = crazy M Jackson).
i was talking to some health professionals today about CTC's opinions on psychiatry and we pondered whether he could stand by this ignoranus crap after being made to spend an hour with some poor soul who is in a full-blown psychosis (perhaps because they've been talked out of taking medication by some ).
reality check fucknuckle.
May i take this opportunity to draw attention to the fact that Australia's own Kate Ceberano (aka the poor man's Marcia Hines), also preaches these naive and dangerous opinions regarding psychiatric medications. In an interview last year she explained she would never take these substances because: "....I certainly do not want to take anything which would subdue the honesty of the situation."
Subdue. the. honesty!?!
wtf?
How about:
Relieve. the. suffering.
Unless you've been in one of those dark & nasty places Katie-pie you really should just SHUT THE FUCK UP.
phew.... thanks for the vent space nads.
I laughed so hard seeing you in a stack hat Roguie. Really quality stuff.

Point noted. While I believe that if you claim to be a leftie you should welcome my post, if I am going to criticise others it is only fair that I allow myself to be criticised. Thus my blog. I await your scorn.
Oh and roguemaze, I would pull down my pants and bend over - but only if you were behind me waiting.
nice job, aleks. i am so proud of you. in a mate's way.
i just have one more thing to say to you here though, claiming to be a lefty doesn't mean i go around to other lefties' blogs challenging them to come volunteer at my youth centre cause they should care about it as much as i do if they really are left.
ok, lets go back to talking about vadges and dperession now.

I'm new here so be nice to me. Thanks.
Nads! Nads!!!!
Aw crap. I think your blog's gone AWOL again. I'm sure I posted. Anyhoo, if you get this, come visit. I have something to tell you!!!
Just so you know, the chick who turned down Tom Cruise for roast lamb in the ad ... Naomi Watts (pre-hollywood-lesbo-lynch-film-heath ledger fame). Incidently, a title I want inscribed on my tombstone. There is a conspiracy in that somewhere, but only Xenu knows what it is.
As for no meds or shrinks - without 'em this bi-polar girl would single-handedly deplete Australia of a years supply of vodka ... in one night.

Tom Cruise makes me sick. He is a megalomaniacal moron. There's a worrying amount of scaremongering about anti-depressants in general at the moment. The reality is that they (and psychiatry) have saved countless lives.
Great post Nadine.
