    Us Chanologists are just a relentless tidal wave of blank faces. The CoS doesn't know what to do with that. But that's not the real heroism. The Internet superheroes are people like Magoo, WBM, and other people who have been directly attacked by the CoS.

    Hence my "two Anonymous" comment. From my perspective, and I'm not a channer, most of the Chanology Anonymous reject the rest of Anonymous. The rest of Anonymous mostly rejects Chanology.

    And I know that Chanology started from the *chans, hence the name, but the *chans have rejected it since it took the high ground.

    Some Anons say there is but one Anon.

    It's because it literally is "all in the head" - just not the way they see it. From their perspective it's like, you know, "Cheer up emo kid", but hell, can we help it that we're always feeling down? I get depression in waves, you know what I do? I lock myself up in my room for days on end, and it gets worse, until I find something to pull me out of the doldrums, but depression's like a vortex...

    And it depends on WHY you're depressed.

    If you're depressed because of a neurological glitch - yeah, meds might help. But if like me you're depressed because of environmental issues (cabin fever compounded by social phobias) - they might just not work at all - Prozac didn't do shit for me, didn't even cause a reaction when I OD'd on it.

    It's on free-to-air TV. It shouldn't matter who's watching. Got a TV? Got an aerial? That's all you really need.

    For years, I wore watches on my left wrist. (Nonstop, from 1996 to about 2004; also a lot of the time from 1990-1994.) It got to the point that I would look at my wrist for the time, even if I wasn't wearing the watch, and I would feel like a part of me was missing if I didn't have the watch on.
