	Annie	I think the fact that I find you, or your songs, extremely relatable and comforting in relation to whatever emotion does not mean that I would violate your privacy. But thanks for making beautiful songs that make happy. Or atleast make me feel less-alienated when I don't feel happy.   Posted by Annie on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 3:54 AM [Reply to this]

	Nick Brian Walters Nick Walters	It's a wonderful song, and I celebrate you for creating it, and pray you have a peaceful telephone.   Posted by Nick Brian Walters on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 3:54 AM [Reply to this]

	Ken Kennedy Ken Kennedy	Sucks that people would do that. -ken-   Posted by Ken Kennedy on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 3:54 AM [Reply to this]

	«[ lolo laveer ]» Laurel Cleveland	Do people seriously do that? I can't blame them for loving you, but that's actually kind of sick. Good luck Kimya. :]   Posted by «[ lolo laveer ]» on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 3:54 AM [Reply to this]

	~Kewpie Baby~ Chelsea Kastning Mccain	There are boundaries, and I as well consider this action, not okay.   Posted by ~Kewpie Baby~ on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 3:54 AM [Reply to this]

	Pontius Python	That's terrifying, Kimya! I find myself overcome with gratitude when I think of how much of yourself you share with the world - I cannot imagine being so public a person myself. Thank you, Kimya for being the voice that sometimes echoes my thoughts. Thank you & I'm so sorry if being available to us has put you & your family in a position where those privileges you so freely give are being taken advantage of. I pray that people can learn to respect natural boundaries and that you can be familiar with peace. If any part of this comes off sarcastic or mean-spirited in any way, I'd like you to know that it is not meant as such. Text makes sincerity difficult to portray.   Posted by Pontius Python on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 3:55 AM [Reply to this]

	Suzanne Suzanne Atwood	Love you.   Posted by Suzanne on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 3:55 AM [Reply to this]

	Trista	If anyone takes an artist's lyrics as an open invitation to violate your privacy, they've got some problems. That is so incredibly creepy that anyone would think it is okay to do something like that...I wish you and your family peace and freaking privacy!   Posted by Trista on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 3:55 AM [Reply to this]

	Kristine	I absolutely love you. Not only for the song, but for actually meaning it. I'm sorry to hear that people call you just to chat assuming it's okay because of song lyrics, particularly those. By the way, Loose Lips is my favorite of your songs and I listen to it when I feel as though I'm in despair and wish to harm myself; I promised my girlfriend I wouldn't and fully intend not to break that promise. Thank you for being there in the form of that song and everything you do; it helps to have the support, even when I have to force myself to put in my Juno CD instead of The Used. Thank you so much. You and your family are loved. ♥   Posted by Kristine on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 3:55 AM [Reply to this]

	chibluesteve	If I see you walking thru Olympia, can I say "Hi". It is damn hard being a hero.   Posted by chibluesteve on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 3:55 AM [Reply to this]

	VeronikA [the wannabe klub kid]	As you know there's only a handfull of famous people who would give a damn if some average person was to kill themself. It's amazi that you care. You are the definition of inner beauty. Also, your music inspires me more than i can say.   Posted by VeronikA [the wannabe klub kid] on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 3:56 AM [Reply to this]

	~TuRpEnTiNe~ Linda Pridemore	I have a brother named Chris, he looks like death..It’s hard to say but its true, he’s abused his body and is in and out of the hospital, his organs are so close to shutting down. He is bulimic. I knew at 21 that he was ill, I didn’t tell any one and I didn’t even realize it was a big deal. Until he was 25 and vomited to the point where he ripped a hole in his esophagus and his chest cavity filled with acid from his stomach, he was close to death when they saved his life…sometimes I secretly wish he would of died then because now I watch him dieing slowly, slowly slowly..I abandoned him for a few years, I couldn’t handle him killing him self, I have my own son, cirrus, to worry about..its hard to help some one who wont help them self…I love him, he is the only one who knows me in and out, my best friend, my child hood companion..the only one who knows the hell we grew up in….I want to blame my father for never loving him enough..i want to blame society for forgetting about him, the system that wont help him… Iv accepted things…. it is what is…I embrace him now, trying to hold on to the little life he has left….god I love him and my soul cries for him. I know he wants to die. And I myself understand why memories and guilt are eating my brother alive.. I don’t normally share this part of my life its like this secret my family is holding inside other family members have disowned him, but I myself will stand my brothers side until the end of his short lived life thank you for hearing   Posted by ~TuRpEnTiNe~ on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 3:56 AM [Reply to this]

	Lauren Lauren Hadley	That's awful that someone would do that! And I also think it's wonderful that you would take the time to call a complete stranger to help them. You're a beautiful person, Kimya Dawson.   Posted by Lauren on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 3:56 AM [Reply to this]

	B-SIDE Bird on a wire	wow.. you'd think this is something you wouldn't have to tell people. guess so though.   Posted by B-SIDE Bird on a wire on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 3:57 AM [Reply to this]

	Tanessa XOXO Tanessa Noll	You are serving the world perfectly through your art. You shouldn't feel obligated to provide mental health services to fans as well. If you don't want to change your number, you might consider a recording that says, "If you are thinking about hurting yourself, Kimya wants you to call ___. If you have a special message for Kimya, please submit it online. This number is only for family and close friends, blah blah blah. " Good luck!!!   Posted by Tanessa XOXO on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 3:58 AM [Reply to this]

	Lisa	I simply adore you, Kimya. Your heart is huge and that's why I love you so. xoxo   Posted by Lisa on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 3:58 AM [Reply to this]

	Unhero Eddie	In 1974 Lynyrd Skynyrd released the song "Don't Ask Me No Questions." Aside from showcasing their poor grammar, Skynyrd used the song to express their displeasure with fans and reporters who had begun phoning at all hours to ask ridiculous questions and generally invade their privacy. So, it is apparent that you (Kimya Dawson) have now reached a level of rock n' roll stardom equal to that of Lynyrd Skynyrd (and possibly Billy Idol). You must now hire a giant bodyguard (I wonder what Mr. T is up to these days?) and a limo (or pedicab, if the budget is tight). XOXO, Unhero Eddie   Posted by Unhero Eddie on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 3:58 AM [Reply to this]

	Bobbi	Holy shit balls - that's pretty intense! I'd get a new private number in case they decide to pass it around. Sorry you had to deal with that, it would definitely creep me out. Kudos for telling them how it is though.   Posted by Bobbi on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 3:58 AM [Reply to this]

	sleepy king Savannah May	i can't believe people actually think that its OK to call you just to tell you they like your music. I mean, sure its nice that they like you but Its a little rude to take it to that level. Well i love you kimya and I love my kitty bag that i purchased from you a couple years ago at the crap factory. Have been following your music for a long time. Take care. <3   Posted by sleepy king on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 3:58 AM [Reply to this]

	Nina Nina Bengtsson	That makes total sense, and I find it so brave of you, still to offer to help those in need. I know how hard it can be sometimes, and you are showing that you care just by saying this. I wouldn't want people I don't know calling me like that either, unless it's an emergency like you said. So everyone should respect this, and leave you alone. Like you said, you ARE extremely accessible online, and that should do. I realise how hard this must be for you, and your family and I really hope people will respect your privacy and your family. All the best, Nina   Posted by Nina on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 3:59 AM [Reply to this]

	MollyWKUK Molly Sauce	In that case I'll tell you now I absolutely love your music :) I write music too, and your music has definitely inspired me.   Posted by MollyWKUK on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 3:59 AM [Reply to this]

	TART Productions Ron Trembath	It's sad that a person can't just be genuine these days, without assholes ruining a good thing. Thanks for breaking the mold. You're a kind soul   Posted by TART Productions on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 3:59 AM [Reply to this]
