What's freaking you out today?
 

Freaking me out today was an incident on the train on the way home from work.

There is a chap who often catches the train who is a little bit special, shall we say, some kind of advanced Ralph Wiggum situation. His Hi-Vis vest and steel cap boots indicate some kind of physical job, and he can catch trains by himself etc so he is getting by okay, but he has a few rather odd habits.

In particular, he is constantly swinging his head back and forth (very much like this guy :headshake ), and frequently gives a running commentary on his thoughts, as well as initiating rather one-sided conversations with anyone around.

I was sitting in a forward facing seat, and he sat in the backward facing seat directly behind me; thus his head was maybe 15 cm behind mine. No problem. He started his monologue. No problem. He was swinging his head from side to side - not itself a problem, but it created the effect that I would hear a few words closer to one ear, then a few equidistant from both, then a few closer to the other, then back in the middle, and so on, back and forth, so the effect I got was this somewhat rambling flow-of-consciousness voice feeling as if it were bouncing around inside my own head!!!

Whooooaaaoooohhhhh maaannnnn.

Lay off the psychedelics zen, or at least share. :P

I'm still nervous from almost getting hit in the parking lot yesterday. I was right behind a HUGE suburban when it started backing up.

Is the feeling of rambling flow of consciousness still there?

Is the feeling of a rambling flow of consciousness still there?

definitely - seems to be improving too.


(Those who know, know)

My scalp has a sore patch, like a whole hunk of hair was ripped out.

But it wasn't, and it's still sore after a week. Dunno what gives, but . . .

it's freaking me out!

Last week of teaching summer school and we had a lice outbreak! *itch* *itch* *itch*

The fact I wrote a whole post about a paedo on my estate and Diz stepped on the keyboard and deleted the lot.

Sorry - freaked out? No, fucking furious.
About the message I mean. Although the paedo thing will be freaky when I finally have the heart to repeat it.
