Hello. I am doing a promotional list, to pass it down.

1. Be one of the first 10 people commenting on this journal entry, and I will add you to the "Promotional List".

2. For each of the first 10 people answering this journal I will put his or her avatar and the three deviations I like most from his or her gallery on the list.

3. If you answer, you'll have to do the same on your journal, putting me in the first position. Then rinse and repeat!

1. (You're so pretty, Sandy!)

RULES
1. Be in the first fourteen people to comment on this journal!
2. I will feature you and three of my favorite works from your gallery
3. The catch is, if I feature you, you have to keep this thread going! Post these rules in your journal, and feature me (because I featured you) as well as the first fourteen people to comment on your journal!

If you don't have a subscription, you can still participate in the feature game - just use regular links instead of thumbnails!

Let's get it started!

I had hoped that the contradiction was gone in my life, but recently it would appear it was merely hiding. It came back with muted force, but it came back nonetheless.

Mania is the worst emotion I've ever experienced. Nearly every time I feel it, I come out with regrets. I've got too much energy to sleep. I'm to impulsive to control my actions. I'm completely overconfident in my abilities.

Because of mania, I've gotten myself into many fights. I've hurt friends and enemies alike. I've upset friends. At one point, I beat someone to the ground and hit him with a chair while a teacher left the room. Another time, I became angered and attacked my best friend.

Depression isn't a great feeling either, even if it's better than mania. There's the feeling of hopelessness. On top of that there's the feeling that things need to change for anything to be alright. You feel no energy or motivation to get anything done.

Depression has hurt me in multiple ways, but it has most drastically affected my academic life. Skipped classes and days of school because "what's the point?". Unfinished and never turned in assignments because I know I can't do it well enough. However it's also affected my social life as I lose interest in spending time with my friends.

I'm glad to say that this curse seems to be fading and treatment is making things better, but I have a feeling I'm far from finished with this disease.

Gold: Gold is a 21 year old who tried to avoid the draft for a time. He only tried to avoid it a matter of days, however, before he decided it was not worth his time or energy.
Gold is a Supreme, an individual who has powers drawn from a source of supernatural energy. He draws his energies from death. His powers include the ability to consume and sense the presence of souls, animate and sense the presence of corpses, and control scavengers.
Gold's powers allow him a unique philosophy. He does not see the death of an individual as the end of life merely as a continuation of the cycle of the soul. He also views the actions of humanity as overly dramatic and unnecessary. Because of this, he tends to come across as very apathetic, although he would say that many things simply are undeserving of attention.

I'm better than you, but I'm not good enough for me
I would kill for fun, but I care about everybody
I have great potential for success, but I am unlikely to achieve it
I need to do everything perfectly, but I hardly try at all
I am a psychic, but I am crazy
I am happy, but I feel depressed
I aspire to do much, but I am willing to do little
I am a reality, but also a contradiction
