I was in a bad place lol
sup lol

my thing was I was going to do a bunch of pills right before jumping off the golden gate bridge, and shoot myself on the way down. no fuckin around in a vegetative state because I missed the brain stem or whatever, really kill the motherfucking poo poo out of myself
originally instead of the gun and pills I wanted to be hit by lightning on the way down, but I realized that was kind of unrealistic as I grew up

pretty sure the guy talking really loudly about how totally real and public his suicide attempt totally would have been is probably the last person that would actually commit suicide
hence the past tense? we're not feeling sorry for ourselves, dude, we're sympathizing over a negative experience we both went through and trying to emphasize the humorous side

if I wanted to bum people out, the reason for the goofy-assed lightning thing is that I was an 11 year old child, and I was ideating suicide at that age because I realized I was gay, and I thought that that meant that I didn't have a future. so, yeah, I was definitely too ashamed to share this stuff while I was actually going through it, and that's a bad thing. it means I didn't get help. so, maybe it can be helpful to destigmitize the experience by making it okay to talk about? and therapeutic for the people who went through it to be open about it? maybe maybe maybe

wait a sec... what?
drat it I knew somebody was gonna stop me on that one

okay, so, if you're sitting down, you can poo and pee, but if you're standing up, you can only pee, right?
so, from earlier than I can remember, I used this system:
1) when you go to bathroom, think about whether you have to poo
2) if you do, sit down
that's it. so every time I went to the bathroom, I was set up to just let it all go, so I never encountered a situation where I had to deal with the fact that you have two different release valves down there.
then one day, and I remember because when I figured it out I knew it was some poo poo everybody else already knew, I was out walking, and I had to go to the bathroom. I knew I could pee in the bushes, and I'd done that before, but never when I had to poo, too. so I held them both for about 5 minutes before I realized I could just pee
