The following is a short story entitled ‘The Euphio Question’ by Kurt Vonnegut. I sincerely wish that some device such as this existed. Alas, happiness is in actuality difficult to attain. My wishes are simple when lain against this very complex story addressing whether happiness itself, when reached by unnatural methods, is of any kind of value and whether is cheapens life’s existence. But, I digress… I hope you enjoy this story. Vonnegut is exceptional. This story is taken from ‘Welcome to the Monkey House’. Comments are welcome.

Ladies and gentlemen of the Federal Communications Commission, I appreciate this opportunity to testify on the subject […]

Can’t Think of a Title

by Anna 2/28/2011

written by Anna

I haven’t posted for a while… today though I just need someone to listen. I was going to tell my housemates, but then thought they’d just think I was an attention seeker, which I’m not even sure is that far from the truth. Hence, this post. You don’t have to read it because it’s probably very silly. I just have to write it.

I went to University today and submitted my assignment. I then had an hour and a half’s wait until my three hour seminar. Usually I’d stay and maybe get some lunch or something, or go and sit in the library. But today I […]

Thoughts

by Anna 10/25/2010

written by Anna

On occasion, my state of mind is regarded- commented upon- by persons that I know, and too my choices of literature and music find their way into the analysis of someone who is neither a doctor nor a psychologist, but merely somebody that I have known. I am told at these times that what I choose to read, watch, listen to â€˜probably doesnâ€™t helpâ€™ to lift my spirits or prevent me from contemplating what purpose I am serving by merely existing, or as to whether ending my life would grant me any more respite than the closeness of the dark does at the end of […]

Three Days

by Anna 6/30/2010

written by Anna

Did anyone here read my very first post? I haven’t been here for many months, so some may recall. My very first post says that I have three more days to live.

But I need someone today to tell me that they have known my story for all this time, and that life is worth living. Tell me why life is worth living, because I need to make my emotion to live overwhelm the logic in dying. And don’t be general and philosophical please, I’ve had enough replies telling me that the greater good exists. Tell me why I should live, not why I should lie […]

Cheer me up

written by Anna

Hi,

Can someone please just cheer me up very quickly? Within the next 10 minutes would be good. I don’t wanna talk about what’s happened… it’s one of those stupid things that you know shouldn’t get you down… can someone please just cheer me up?

Miss Lucy Had Some Leeches

Miss Lucy had some leeches
Her leeches liked to suck
And when they drank up all her blood
She didn’t give a…
Funny when the doctors
Had locked her in her cell
Miss Lucy screamed all night that they
Should go to bloody…
‘Hello’ to the surgeon
With scalpel old and blunt

Then he’ll mutilate your…
Come, it’s nearly teatime
The lunatics arrive
The keepers bleed them all until

Lively little rodents
Are eaten up by cats
We’re subject to experiments
Like laboratory…
Rats, I’ve dropped a teacup
How easily they break
I’m on […]

I Am Stretched On Your Grave

by Anna 5/25/2010

written by Anna

A recent post has been made concerning the song ‘Gloomy Sunday’; a song originally by a Hungarian composer which has been covered many times by various artists and has been linked to numerous suicides.

I realise completely that my last few posts have been largely music-related; whether they be comments or posts themselves, and I fear this shall be no different. But recently the desire to die has subsided somewhat, and has been replaced by simple contemplation of death. My scheduled death date still exists within the pages of my diary, but I currently feel little desire to commit suicide at this very moment in time; […]

What’s good to clean up blood?

by Anna 5/25/2010

written by Anna

Not from a suicide attempt- from a slight accident, staining the carpet of my rented accomodation, which, upon moving out of in a matter of weeks, they will charge me for.

Any suggestions?

So…

by Anna 5/19/2010

written by Anna

My name’s Anna and I’ve posted a great many things here before, so if you’re interested in my ‘back-story’ so-to-speak, please search my name on the post dashboard, because this isn’t me talking about the same stuff and therefore I cannot quite be bothered to re-type it all. But, I digress…

I have a problem today.

The day I had scheduled to commit suicide has become… impractical. My boyfriend and I have booked a holiday for about a month after it. The initial plan was to complete everything scheduled for after the date beforehand, so that I could die all in peace and whatever else. But now […]

‘Waiting…’

by Anna 5/9/2010

written by Anna

A coma might feel better than this, attempting to discover where to begin.
You’re weighed down, you’re full of something, of sickness and desertion.
You’re weighed down, you’re full of something, you’re underneath it all.

So say goodbye to love, and hold your head up high
There’s no need to rush- we’re all just waiting… waiting to die.

HopeÂ inÂ a better place is all I need, with moments of innocence and mystery.
Oh, it’s the little things you miss. Like waking up all alone.
Oh, it’s the little things you miss. When you’re underneath it all.

So say goodbye to love, and hold your head up high
There’s no […]
