IanCurtisWishlist--I took this name from a song by a band called xiu xiu (pronounced "Shoo Shoo"), who I don't really listen to anymore. But before I heard Xiu Xiu, I knew who Joy Division were--and I like Joy Division very much. Ian Curtis was the singer of that band before he hanged himself in 1980--before the band became New Order.

Anybody listen to Joy Division? You all gotta see Ian Curtis dance. He was a dancing robot on amphetamines. But in reality, he was on anti-convulsant medication. At the time, the only drug prescribed for epilepsey were Barbituates. Aside from certain environmental situations, such as Ian Curtis' affair and crumbling marriage, some speculate that this was the reason Ian Curtis hanged himself--because when one takes Barbituates for extended periods of time, the effects can be adverse to one's mental health. Just to clarify that for you all since I know you were dying to know.

Ian Curtis is the guy smoking on my avatar. R.I.P.
