I think I was hoping someone would shoot me down and tell me that the societal swing that made us think of depression as a treatable mental disorder was in some other time period or earlier or more modern or ... what have you.
But, apparently my post was so poorly written that that point just went by the wayside.
Ah well.
I either need to be a LOT more clear (which would mean only writing intellectual question posts when I'm not tired, not hyper, not scattered and totally focused and awake (read: never)) or I need to put big disclaimers at the tops of the entries stating that I'm rambling and thinking as I write, much the way I do when I'm having a meandering philosophical conversation with a friend, and I'm throwing out ideas, not outlining a thesis.
It's no fun only talking to people who already understand and know what I have to say. But, well, it saves on the misunderstandings.

First you say you loathe Tom Hanks and Buffy, then you start spouting theories about depression, and then you claim "green mint chocolate ice cream is just *better*"...
You must be truly sexually frustrated. ::nods::
Nope. I'm pretty sure i'd have written out a Last Will & Testament before i did anything that suicidal.
However, since i do care for you, Nick is supposed to air 15 minutes of Invader Zim at 9:45 tonight.
You ... scary... you know...
But you wouldn't die for hitting on me. You might get laughed at and I'd have to remind you what a mean nasty evil bad person I am and how I'm to be reviled and hated above all, but really... that's all.
And thank you for the reminder. By some miracle, I actually remembered.
Of course, the reruns and the truncated timeslot are annoying. But I read that Jhonen had only made enough episodes to cover the next season, so there's a chance that there just aren't anymore or they're trying space them out.
I'm so witty and creative.
They sure as hell better make more Zim episodes. I finally watched for the first time a couple weeks ago and i want, nay, need more.
I dunno. There was a big thing about them cancelling it. And since Nick went to Jhonen and asked for the show (it wasn't something he created and then shopped around) they own it all. So if it is cancelled, I highly doubt they'd just let him make it elsewhere.
It's a pretty revolting state of affairs, I know... but, well, it's Nickelodeon and Zim is most popular amoungst the 'misunderstood' 'goths' that congregate at hot topics and ihops everywhere.
