Same here... i'm not Hindu! I may look like it, but i'm totally, absolutely, one hundred percent, completely not.

My mom used to tease me for wanting to write. She said I wouldn't be able to "support a family." But she didn't understand it's what I like to do...
Then I showed her one of my best writing pieces and she let me be a writer and even come on KidPub.

I'm sorry. :/ That must suck.
My parents think I'm a good writer. They just don't believe that I can stick with it.

My parents support my writing, thankfully.
My dad won't let me go to Canada because I refused to get his tennis racket for him.
-_-

I want to find a journalist job and be a novelist in my own free time.

BATH SALTS!

8D

I know how you feel, bro... except when I tried to change I ended up getting much, much worse than I already was... o_O I didn't know it but it was... now I know it's annoying when people say this... hormones. -____- I'm sure you've heard of the teenage "finding yourself" thing? Whenever I heard it I naturally assumed that it was finding your right group of friends and your right career or going on some yoga mission... but they were actually referring to what you're going through right now. Eventually, you may feel like you're becoming a bad person, but you like being a bad person or whatever... lots of people go through that, although it may affect you, don't let it change you forever. :^) It will pass... just relax, even if you feel uncomfortable "in your own skin." <:^J
I hope this helps...

My childhood is screwed up enough. Then I read the theories explaining the "origins" of my favorite cartoons, and I feel like laughing at people's stupidity.
Okay, fine. The schizophrenic Angelica Rugrats theory kind of makes sense, because it seems....somewhat probable. Y'know--ill little girl surrounded by the deaths of her cousin, family friends' abortions and miscarriages...yeah, it makes sense that she would conjure up some imaginary little kids to talk to and boss around. But it's the part that Suzie was real and became a psychologist and told this sad story to her animator friend, who then turned it into a cartoon that confuses me. O__e What sick person would turn that into a cartoon....?
The Purgatory Ed Edd & Eddy Theory just makes me laugh. XD YES. All the cul-de-sac kids died during different eras, spanning from 1903 to 2000, aand are now confined to the eternal childhood in this plain of purgatory that resembles the street they once lived on. They're all too traumatized to think about how they died or their past lives or the parents that no longer watch over them, so they just goof off and avoid the Kanker Sisters--because they're really demons sent from hell to torture the kids. YES. THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE. XDD Oh, yeah, they're confined to the cul-de-sac all right. HELLO. O_o They went to school and traveled ALL OVER THE PLACE during the last episode Movie thing. And that theory does NOT explain how the idea became a cartoon. THEN AGAIN.....the show comes from the same twisted mind that made the 90s cartoon The Brothers Grunt, so....I don't know what to think. o_o But...STILL. XD What the HECK?
And then there's the Fairly Oddparents "truth". Timmy's Godparents died in a car crash, and his parents never cared about him, and his babysitter abused him, so he pretended that his goldfish were his Godparents still hanging around and looking after him. Mr. Crocker was actually a pedophile that targeted Timmy, so Timmy thus dealt with his advances by imagining he was after his "fairies" (i.e. his innocence). All the granted wishes never happened because none of them had any real affect on Timmy's life. He was just a lonely little boy that imagined the whole thing. :^|
AGAIN, that doesn't explain how all that became a cartoon. o__o XDD At least the Rugrats theory has a link to reality. That Oddparents thing sounds like something that just randomly came out of some freak's diseased mind.


All I can say is....what the heck is wrong with people? O_o It's...just...a...cartoon. Why does there have to be some sort of dark, weird origin???? x__x

That... is why I'm glad my parents never let me watch those shows when I was a kid. x_x I never had the attention span and my parents deemed it as mind rotting with all the bright colours, and they hated to hear it playing in the background. x_x And Edd, Ed and Eddy or whatever the heck it's called always grossed me out because the characters were so gross-looking... :^I Same with Rugrats... But you'd be suprised... people are just starving for some inspiration that will allow them to rake in some cash. <X^D I can't really blame them, who knows, I might have been tempted to do the same thing if I was trying to meet deadlines for an animated cartoon show company.

Technically, it was pot, not bath salts.

Wat? It was pot?

... I have a hard time believing that a depressant drug, which normally makes people relax and want munchies... could make someone go absolutely nuts and eat someone's face off... unless they REALLY wanted some munchies...

Aren't bath salts like cocaine times a thousand?

I don't know.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_salts_(drug) It doesn't say much.

I really did not know that. E.E
