Hey -- ever tried to kill yourself? How'd that work out for you?

When I was 15 I threw a plugged in, turned-on hair-dryer into the bathtub with me, thinking I'd be electrocuted. I wasn't, but I sure did kill that hair-dryer.

I jumped out a three story building window in sydney when i was 18. I landed on a hedge with barely a scratch which is lucky because such a short fall probably would've only broken my legs anyway which would've sucked a fair bit.

When I look back on it now it's kind of funny.

I'm pretty glad I'm not dead. I try to remember that when I get the occasional depressive episode these days.

When I get depressed I sometimes imagine the hair-dryer actually DID kill me and everything since then has been a dream I had in my death throes a la OCCURRENCE AT OWL CREEK RIDGE and JACOB'S LADDER. Then I get impressed at how fucking literary and clever and smart I am and the depression just goes away.

yeah, no less than 3 ilxors were present. if i were them i woulda hauled my ass to the emergency room. but i wasn't in any condition to think straight.

friend and i used to play this game: two people in the front seat of a car driving down the highway. the driver unrolls the window and slides out of the window as the passenger holds the wheel--passenger slides into drivers seat as driver pulls himself onto & across windshield of car.

Goodness! Sounds pretty dangerous.

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Monday, 5 April 2004 05:20 (twenty-two years ago)

we were just mad bored. &i had thoughts of letting go of the windshield. it seemed a unique way to go.

the other guy makes funny faces as he slides across the windshield. its hard not to laugh. wind blowing the hair and all

oh & i am much more of a wuss than the story seems. the first time my friend did this while he was driving i was quite pissed.

ive always doubted the hair-dryer into the tub method. i guess its just a matter volatge

i knew a girl it worked for. she's dead now.

Yeah my uncle too. It worked really well for him.

maybe when jewelly threw her hair-dryer the cord pulled out of the socket before the dryer hit the tub. A MAGICIAN

There are much better ways to get attention from people.

Oh no-one knew

i was thinking of how i would kill myself, and id rather just disappear of the face of the earth, create a new identity, or wander into the desert without food or water and when im far away from civilisation to be in the middle of nowhere just lay in the middle of the sand until my starving body is burried. id never be found. either that or falling from a skyscrapper, just for the feeling you get before you hit, if i did this id have to wear a really good suit, i dont own a suit, but i could buy one for the occassion, armani or gucci or whatevers in fashion. something about using electric appliences dosn't appeal to me.

i died on coke and acid for a brief moment when i was 14, i think (i woke up in hospital, they told me they almost lost me) - it wasnt a suicide attempt. once i jumped infront of a car but i just fractured my legs, i should have waited for a lorry, i dont think i was actually suicidal, just curious and confused, i only remember bits and peices but i dont think i had the guts, just incase there is an afterlife and not just nothingness or reincreation plus i really didnt want to kill myself but i think i was wasted to the point of testing my immortality.

I'm not sure whether I should be disturbed by your matter-of-factness, or to think it's good you can talk so honestly about such a delicate subject.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 5 April 2004 07:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I think about killing myself all the time. Not really considering it, just thinking what would happen and what I would write as a suicide note.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Monday, 5 April 2004 08:24 (twenty-two years ago)

i would never do it at home, that's for sure. i'd hate to think of my nice clean couch getting rotten bodily fluids on it

Resumé by Dorothy Parker is for just these occasions.

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.

― suzy (suzy), Monday, 5 April 2004 08:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Guns are pretty damn lawful where I live.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Monday, 5 April 2004 08:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Not that that's a good thing, just an observation.

Yeah, like being the town bike.

To get national attention, why don't you: find a saugage company that has a huge meat grinder. Set up a hidden vid. camera to tape it. leave a note that cannot be read until one year after the grinding. in it, the detail of how the way you died and where the vid camera is. In the morning you will be ground up into sausages, (take enough pills to kill you before you get in) and a year later when they find the note and video tape and see it on television everyone will puke simultaneously

Cat, when you want to make an entry under a different/anonymous name it's a good idea to log out first.
