You don't have anything for existential despair, do you?
A strong suspicion, hardening to conviction, that whatever the relative values of myself against others, the whole business of existence is empty, futile and without meaning.
ok no one, i mean no on ever anywhere says eeeep. anymore
and wtf are you talking about?
Eeeep, (and Meep) are, I admit, an affectation I sometimes use, but their derivation is obscure to most. They denote a degree of curiousity and confusion. (Neil Gaiman's Sandman, anyone?)
Existential despair is something very real but also rare.
If you've never met it you are lucky, and you should let it lie at that.
It's not something anyone is better for discovering.
And that is not a joke or a put-down.
