A Family Recipe

By: ElLagarto
Written on February 8th, 2008
Begin with a solid foundation of Manic Depression.  Carefully season with isolation, insecurity, egotism, narcissism, and self-loathing.  Add in heaping helpings of catastrophic life events to trigger a fear response.  Fold in drugs, alcohol, exhaustion, inability to sleep, and complete unwillingness to accept helpful advice - and voila!  A recipe for disaster.

    My dear Celainn, if that's true, how ever can I make it up to you? You should have stolen from a healthier family. :>

    That's revenge your thinking of - this dish is scalding hot.



    BK - in my family, cynicism and sarcasm weren't reserved for special occasions, they were lingua franca. You needed to carry a knife with you at all times. Thank God we did skip gambling, never have understood that one. Why not just throw your money in the sea?
