And I could have died right then. And considering how things went, I really should have.
My brain was all right back then; it didn’t get stuck in ruts.
I had fooled myself into thinking that I was something important to the rest of the world.
A person’s relationship with food is one of their most important relationships.
We’re all animals, high school is animals, but some of us are more animal than others. Like in ‘Animal Farm,’ which I read, all animals are created equal, but some are more equal than others? Here in the real world, all equals are created animal, but some are more animal than others.
I’m jealous of her. Can you be jealous of your mom for being able to handle things? I couldn’t take a day off, take a dog to the vet, and cook dinner. That’s like three times too much stuff for me to get done in one day. How am I ever going to have my own house?
That’s worst than gonerreha, man!
Sometimes I wish I had an easy answer for why I’m depressed.
I have a system with bathrooms. I spend a lot of time in them. They are sanctuaries, public places of peace spaced throughout the world for people like me.
They’ve spent alot of money on me. I’m ashamed.

See, when you mess something up, you learn for the next time. It’s when people compliment you that you’re in trouble. That means they expect you to keep it up.
So now live for real, Craig. Live. Live. Live. Live.
We look into each other’s eyes as we shake. His are still full of death and horror, but in them I see my face reflected, and inside my tiny eyes inside his, I think I see some hope.
And that was the closest I’ve ever come to an epiphany.
They always said on TV you could do anything you wanted, but here I was trying to do something and it wasn’t working. I would never be able to do it.
I’ve started to think it must just be chemistry, in which case we’re looking for the Shift and we haven’t found it yet.
Yes, Doctor. I’ll do what you say. I’ll do what you all say.
The Shift hasn’t happened yet, maybe it never will, but sometimes-just enough times to give me hope-my brain jars back into where it’s supposed to be.
The Shift is coming. The Shift has to be coming. Because if you keep living like this you’ll die.
