 		Pickman likes horror, which the Slender Man mythos certainly falls under, but whether this [tpickman] ARG *is* a Slender Man ARG or not I'm unsure. There are many mini games based around Slender Man and while I feel withlovecraft is more than likely one of them, I'm not sure if tpickman is and if there is any connection between them. Aside from both enjoying Lovecraft, beginning their stories around the same time, and having tweeted to one another once, I don't see anything...

 		Interesting. Slenderman is a pretty new character that was created in the ARG world that has developed quite a bit of his own lore. He was a character in the Marblehornets game.

Edit: I believed slenderman to be soley a character of the marble hornets. I could be mistaken. Although I've read few lovecraft, I am by no means an expert, so could have missed him being part of lovecraft mythos.

 		Yeah, Slender Man has no connection with Lovecraft. He was originally created by the crew at SomethingAwful.com just a couple years' back.

Hi Guys

Looking at some of pickmans twitter followers i came across this blog:

http://withlovecraft.blogspot.com/

The blogger talks about taking an anti-seizure medication that increased the occurrence of some visions. They are taking Lamitrogine.

Sent Pickman a message to see if he is taking the same drug.


I'm on Lamitrogine but it was prescribed to me for Bipolar I. I don't remember it being an Anti-Seizure med though.

Is it an atypical anti-psychotic? Those are sometimes prescribed to seizure patients.

 		Email from Pickman
I sent a message to Pickman asking about his shots and @withlovecraft. here is his response:

Quote:
@withlovecraft: I don't actually know her, she's just another person who follows my twitter, and I follow hers. I think I just added her because she was into horror? Looking into her blog, it sounds like she might be one of those kooky otherkin people; really not my territory, but I wish her the best.

I really wish that I hadn't mentioned my shots now. Look, I promise they can't make me hallucinate, or vomit blood or die, or anything like that. I've been on them since I was 19- no undesired effects. Please, please don't ask again, it's really not that serious.

Tom

 		Maybe he is trying to tell us that the shots are OOG?

Here is the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamotrigine

Seems I was mistaken

It was mentioned before that one of the things he could be taking is hormones. He could be trans, as in, transsexual. "No unintended side effects" is just what you get when you take T (testosterone)...

Well, I can hope.

I was thinking more in the line of B12 shots, for Pernicious Anemia or something like that. The shots really have no side effect, but without them a person with Pernicious Anemia might exhibit different symptoms including mental confusion, fatigue, depression, etc...

 		I'm in, up to the point it becomes a Slenderman ARG. I'll be really glad when the trend passes.

 		A trans character would be amazing <3

So, yesterday I send him an e-mail about the photographs blablabla and asked him (with the lamest excuse possible) about his water source:

Anyway, I was thinking here and one thing bothers in your reports about the windmill. Since you don't have heater or electricit, I suppose the water doesn't come from the waterworks. If that's the case, where does it come from? I'm just worried about your health, since your neighborhood don't look like the friendly type with those notes and all. You should take care of that, maybe buy some water gallons in the town nearby, I don't know.

Actually, I do have elctricity, just no heat, but... that is a good question. I just assumed there were water pipes.now I am not so sure. I will ask my dad, and maybe buy some bottled water.


Well in the cellar, well in the forest, well in the backyard. PLEASE say well.

[sorry for deleting my previous post. I was getting an error with the text and tried do re-post until I realize it was the writing symbol I was using
