Eucalyptus @Eucalyptus (151) 29 May 12

Suicide is a very political issue; a debate that remains to be heard throughout the world. Suicide and euthanasia are subject to both legal and political control. If I live in London, no one could help me die; yet if I live in...

Eucalyptus @Eucalyptus (151) 17 May 12

I had a sleep study the other day (I have them every so often) and they stuck the electrodes on to my head with superglue. I thought it was just water soluble glue at first, but then it really did have that superglue smell....
