You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Münchausen by Internet

The term "Münchausen by Internet" was first used in an article published in the Southern Medical Journal written by Marc Feldman in 2000. Feldman, a clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, gave a name to the phenomenon in 2000, but he co-authored an article on the topic two years earlier in the Western Journal of Medicine, using the description "virtual factitious disorder". Factitious disorders are described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: DSM-IV-TR (DSM) as psychological disorders involving the production of non-existent physical or psychological ailments to earn sympathy.

Trust my rage

So i was running over here to post that I saw that someone of FB was now friends with Gus Raley. Apparently, that was so three hours ago.

Do I really have to get out of bed?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

People, "Gus Raley" of TVTropes wants to be my friend on Facebook. If this is a joke by one of you all, WTF? And if this is real, seriously?

Ugh, me, too! As soon as I read it, I switched tabs to this window to tell alla y'all about it.

What a douche.

t edit Hahahaha, Stephanie x-post of the "I was JUST running over here because of the weremonkey!" kind!

Add me to the list.

Did you guys know that Facebook has a "this person is a sockpuppet" (paraphrase) box you can tick when you're blocking someone? 'Cause I do now!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I also got the friend request from Gus. Unbelievable.
