That scares me because it's too much like me on my bad days. The "what would the famous comedian do?", the Catcher in the Rye, the whinyness? YOU ARE HITTING TOO CLOSE TO HOME, MA'AM. That's pretty awesome that someone wants to pay you for it! I liked the bear on the fire escape at the end.
I'll have to go back and look at it. I haven't read Catcher in the Rye since high school, but I loved it so much because I could relate to it so well, and what's bad is that I probably still could. And I actually do think of people I look up to and "what they would do" to make myself feel better, and realize that I don't have to feel that way. I don't know how it works, really, but it does, so I don't really give a damn about how or why. I don't know if that was what you were going for in the video, but that's the first thing I thought of. ANYWAY, I'm not the best person to ask about these things, because all I know are emo cliches that have been done over and over. Maybe something about trying to "channel" depression through art, and it totally sucking? Unless you've done that already?
I try art and end up doing something cliche in a positive way. Like the Walmart Smiley face.
Do you know I can't ever have a meltdown because all I think of is Dane Cook's meltdown in his HBO special?
What I was going for was making fun of the fact that I was feeling that way and had no clue why. So every week I write down things that I'm thinking about in that way, the ramming carts in Episode 2, is something I've always wanted to do, and did, I just rammed someone's abandonned cart. It's a way to channel all my negative energy into a character and not have to feel it on a constant. Whatever it did, it got me out of my funk.
So if it helps, you can totally add things to it. I'll give you writing credit.

I do listen to Annie Lennox when I'm depressed.
I'm glad I struck a chord.
Any suggestions for next weeks episode, young lady?
