Just doing some housekeeping and have removed a lot of people from the friend's list. If you want to be added back, just comment =)

I'm desperate for Avatar icons. And I can't find a comm for them. There is a million comms for Avatar: The Last Airbender, but not one for Avatar the James Cameron film with the blue people! Not that I don't love the TV show, but I NEED icons from the film. Or maybe even screencaps so I can make my own icons. Ahh. Anyone come across any batches with Avatar? Or making any? Please share!

I just like to know who reads what I write. I will not add you if you do not leave a comment here, or we've had a conversation elsewhere about it. Read my user info and if you're still interested, leave a comment and it's very likely I'll add you =)

Read it. Understand it. Learn from it. Pass it on.

Ask the 25-year-old who tried to electrocute himself. He lived. But both his arms are gone.

What about jumping? Ask John. He used to be intelligent, with an engaging sense of humor. That was before he leapt from a building. Now, he's brain-damaged and will always need care. He staggers and has seizures. He lives in a fog. But, worst of all, he KNOWS he used to be normal.

What about pills? Ask the 12-year-old with extensive liver damage from an overdose. Have you ever seen anyone die of liver damage? You turn yellow. It's a hard way to go.

What about a gun? Ask the 24-year-old who shot himself in the head. Now he drags one leg, has a useless arm and has no vision or hearing on one side. He lived through his "foolproof" suicide. You might too.

But... Who will clean your blood off the carpet or scrape your brains from the ceiling? Commercial cleaning companies may refuse that job--but SOMEONE has to do it.

Who will have to cut you down from where you hung yourself or identify your bloated body after you've drowned? Your father? Your mother? Your wife? Your son?

What about the driver of the train you jump in front of? He has to live with that memory for the rest of his life.

The carefully worded "loving" suicide note is of no help. Those who loved you will NEVER completely recover. They'll feel regret and an unending pain.

Suicide is contagious. Look around your family. Look closely at the 4 year old playing with his cars on the rug. Kill yourself tonight, and he may do it ten years from now.

You DO have other choices. There are people who can help you through this crisis. Call a hotline. Call a friend. Call your minister or priest. Call a doctor or hospital. Call the police. They will tell you that there's hope. Maybe you'll find it in the mail tomorrow. Or in a phone call this weekend. But what you're seeking could be just a minute, a month, or a day away.

You say you don't want to be stopped? Still want to do it? -Well, then, I may see you in the psychiatric ward later. And we'll work with whatever you have left.

Remember: Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
