Thanks for the advice and welcome, everybody--especially FKHansen's kind words (I actually do intend to become a professional author).
Just to clear up why I disappeared: my parents saw this forum open in another tab, went through my Internet history, found this thread, saw what I was planning to post on Facebook, and took away all my Internet access to keep me from spreading this 'poison'. I'm only able to post this now because I happened upon a device that somebody forgot to password-lock. I just posted that not to Facebook, since this might be the only chance I get for some time. Fuck pragmatism; from the moment they interfered with my free speech this became a matter of teenage rebellion.
I feel great; I get to sleep now (it's 2 in the morning), and when I wake up, my life will be upside down. Fun!
