    It really, really really really freaks me out how much Dorothy Parker looks like my mom.

    Yeah, suicide is fucking hilarious! Haha! She's in hell! HAHA! It's funny because I'm pretending a historical person said it. I sorry Jezebel, but screw that noise.

    @Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: No one is making fun of suicide; the mockery is toward someone so stupid that it would be safer if they had no friends. It's about morons, not suicides.

    @Atomic Monkey Mouse: Right, so the part where Pope Innocent III "says": The only sinner here is the miserable girl who's now in hell. shouldn't make me feel bad right? Because they aren't really talking about the girl being in hell right? And I shouldn't think about the nights I laid awake crying worried that my mother was in hell for killing herself right? Oh wait, sorry it DID make me feel bad and I DID think about my mother. I didn't say anyone was making fun of suicide. I said using it as fodder for jokes is irresponsible.

    Oh Lidia, you silly woman. Your frenemy may have been critical of the child, but you exhibit such a lack of compassion for this woman's loss, and her obvious overwhelming guilt, that you should be ashamed. Good, now everyone feels like shit.

    Damn, Kerouac is my favorite.


    "What do girls do who haven't any mothers to help them through their troubles?"

    I guess her friend's daughter answered that question.
