Madness

Post Reply New Topic

When people see me when I'm outside I get funny reactions. They look away abruptly, or else stare at me, or laugh at me or else appear afraid.

People who say they're my friends walk down a street quickly when they see me. I can't be bothered finishing books when I start them sometimes.

I know a lot and have imagination and intelligence galore but when I try to communicate it in real life I can't get the dirt to pour out of the JCB, it's stuck in the spade. My spade's faulty, it's too stiff for some reason. Speaking allegorically.

When I go to the chippies in town the staff get cocky with me. They seem to think it's amusing to treat me like crap because I'm physically inadequate. Other people are often the same.

People tend to be annoyed with me just for my appearance and social malaise and as such like the proverbial annoyed person I become ever more annoying to live up to their expectations.

I've started wearing a black suit, black tie and shirt whirt most times I go out and behaving in a surreal manner. Anything to subvert the dominant paradigm.

Oh lord, oh lord, this is madness. But why can't anyone agree with me that there's too little time and too many things to achieve to live life conventionally? There's method in madness, my friend. What a pity I'm experiencing it alone.

This sounds bad but when I have someone gape at me, I'll usually stare back at them depending on the person and circumstance. You don't mess with a psycho. Anyway, if they're looking at me funny, I usually ask if there's anything wrong. In extreme cases, where I've had ppl acting rude to me or someone else. I usually ask them, "WTF is your problem?" I don't try raise my voice either. A lot of bullies get a kick out of an emotional reaction. Usually works for me, they end up looking crazy.

Madness seems like great fun.

I'm desperate to make 300 references, but I can't because I'm not that insensitive.

People react very badly to me, too. If anyone looks at me oddly I just grin and do my best insane laugh; snarl and make claw motions with my hands, that sort of thing. But then, in my case, my predisposition towards that sort of disgraceful behaviour is probably a contributory factor to their bad reactions.
