Hope is a Drug

[juldea]

If you all can excuse me for being poetical for a bit...

Hope is a drug.

It's not all that easy to acquire, but when you've got a good hit of it, it's a great high. Then again, if you run out, the crash is really shitty.

Working on maintaining a consistent source.

Edit: You can acquire it from friends, but if you can manage to brew up a good recipe by yourself, it's much more powerful. Perfecting that recipe probably involves some false starts, though.

i saw that icon on a poster at mit in the context of some music thing and i FINALLY GOT IT after all these years. Not that I'm a musician. But still!

Hooray! Yes it's definitely a music joke.

For extra funny, I use it for music posts while everyone else uses it for emo ones.

[juldea.livejournal.com]

Why limit it to either? I use it for both! Unless the music post is specifically horn-related, in which case I use the sheepie.

During some nasty bouts of unrequited love in college, I used to opine that it was no accident that Hope came out of Pandora's Box of Evil. Hope can be one of the cruelest emotions there is.

I already had my Southpark icon for angsty postings.
