asylum - Profile (original) (raw)

Welcome to Asylum, where your mind is always free to wander. Established in 2002, this community was built on the premise that everyone needs a place to sound off. We don't mind morbid or psychotic, so rest assured that this is a place open to all of your thoughts and ideas, as well as suggestions. Anyone is free to join - so long as you don't mind the screaming at night. Go ahead and ramble, role-play, complain, create, sass, scream or whatever you want to do. Please remember that your mental well-being and rehabilitation is very important to us, so if you have any problems, suggestions, or questions, feel free to contact any of our staff members via the nurse_station.
