I have this picture in my head of a boy that I was.  Sometimes he comes out and I'm happy.  So I begin to think logically---what a scarry thing---and try to let more of this person out so that I don't feel so bottled up all the time.
What would he say...  something like a criticism of how I care too much what others think.  Old people are great that way.  So are children.  They really don't care.  It's we in the middle that get conned.
I spent my $5 at dinner.  I'm going to spend $5 more around midnight.  I just talked to Jeff on the phone and will be meeting he and Joe and The Doom Doom Room.  I have to go home, change, blah.  Maybe I'll get stuck at home.
I just want to be around people and feel like they want to be around me right now.
