Not only that for a while every mad person mumbling away on train would decide to come and talk to me. I had one guy who thought he was Jesus ("if you don't believe me ask them down Kentish Town police station, they know me" he said), another asking me for advice because he was hearing voices in his hair, another walking around with an empty cat carrier trying to persuade me it was an alien and then there was a scary woman who followed me from Brixton station shouting giberish at me.
Luckily I seem to have come through that phase unscathed!

Best.stories.of.the.day.
I love the empty cat carrier one. Did you answer these poeple?

Yes, I mean, what would you do if you couldn't tell the story of the guy with the talking hair?

That is very sad, I'm sure he is schizo and probably not getting the right care. I saw a childhood friend of mine last weekend and she is shizophrenic, she's not even the same person anymore, it's a very sad illness.

It's actually pretty liberating, once you get used to it. Every day, fresh and new. Not a care in the world, unless you want to make one up!...

#1-That I have been here at the Ledge for exactly 4 years today (Man, hasnt felt like it has been that long )

#2-I have a large stack of Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks audio tapes that need to be transferred to cd, But I am just too lazy (At the moment) to do 'em (ie-Slackin' off)

The cat woman made me laugh actually, she seemed harmless.
It's quite sad really

It is sad. Yet funny, when you tell it. It's hard for me to talk to people who are crazy.
