I experienced all except the psych ward part.
Guy Fawkes
Misunderstood By:
Anarchists, 4Chan.
Despite anarchists' general failure to unite long enough to make any meaningful progress against their ideological enemies (democracy, capitalism, communism and Internet forum moderationism), they do have a few running themes and symbols in common. One of the most prominent symbols is the 17th century English revolutionary, Guy Fawkes, whose famed exploit was his attempt to blow up Parliament in order to destabilize the British government.
The comparison is probably most recognizable to popular culture as the basis of the graphic novel/box office catastrophe V For Vendetta, in which a dude dresses up like Fawkes and brings down an evil dystopian theocracy. In recent years, through some bizarre online game of Chinese whispers, Fawkes has also come to somehow represent Internet teenagers' struggle against Scientology. While anarchists may be right that Fawkes was the only person ever to enter Parliament with honest intentions, they've forgotten what those intentions were. Fawkes wasn't trying to destroy an evil theocracy, he was trying to install one.
Fawkes was a fighter for Spain and the Catholic Church. His goal was to end the slightly more egalitarian Protestant revolution in England by restoring Catholic domination. If the Gunpowder Plot had actually succeeded, Britain would probably look less like an anarchist commune and more like the fascist police state Alan Moore warned us about.

If you want to understand me, Habits #3, #2, and #1 (and to a lesser extent, #4) are where you need to study up.
The world is sharp and difficult and filled with loss.
Gladstone, Cracked.com
In my head I read every Cracked article with the voice of Dan O'Brien whether he wrote it or not. I couldn't shut it off even if I wanted to.
Anyone who has enjoyed frozen treats ranging from ice cream to Slurpees has had, at least once in their life, a brain freeze. The name sums it up pretty well -- you're halfway through a tasty dessert when suddenly your head hurts like Ben and Jerry simultaneously drop-kicked your face in some twisted Mortal Kombat finisher.

ooc: Reminder
We treat personal disasters like interruptions to our normal lives rather than parts of it. The truth is that they are as much a part of life as good news ... or even no news at all. They just tend to happen a little less often if we're lucky.
But even if you win the lottery tomorrow and your health reaches world record status, you're still going to have these pop up from time to time because problems are relative. I don't have to tell you that lives don't travel in straight, unwavering lines ... but I just did, so suck it. They have highs and lows. And even if your lows are better than another person's highs, they will still feel like the worst times of your life because it's being compared to all of your other experiences.
Rest here
