Help is On the Way  Wednesday,                                             September 01, 2010

One of the rumours I have heard lately is that there are a number of people, male and female,  of various ages, who are travelling in the same circles as I am, riding buses, hanging at libraries, shopping in my grocery stores, sitting in food courts etc, who are all associated with the university, as well as forensics cops, and who are engaged in observing and noting the group behaviour as part of a sociological study of all you fascinating specimens, out here, in the world of MY reality.

I wonder if this rumour is true? I suspect that it is.

If it is, then I would like to  direct this question and information at the group of people acting out on the bus yesterday on route 1. Do you think there were any of them on the bus yesterday to witness your insane group performance?

How about the university aged female that went into her stifling laughter act?

Do you think they saw you doing it? I did. Didn't I?

I found you fascinating as hell, sitting right near you, watching you put on a performance of mouth twisting, eye lowering, fidgeting, smirking and attempts to control your face and not laugh out loud. Did you KNOW I could see you or was that one of the times that you decided I could not really see you? It is really so hard to tell with you dysfunctional normal whack jobs.

Oh, are you surprised or hurt that I would think of you that way?

Oh I'm sorry. Try not to be so sensitive and touchy. Let it roll off your back.

Seriously though, did no one tell you that you were visible when you are acting out like that from three feet away? See we psychiatrized people assume that you already know that, since it would be obvious to a five year old. and that you actually intend us to see you doing that every time.

Most of us did not know know, until recently, that you are actually self deluded.

Now here is a wee bit of a self awareness exercise for you:

Remember that performance that you and those teenaged boys that were sitting across from you, put on for me, and the other bus passengers yesterday, and then just visualize everything you did as part of the community acting out. Got that so far?  

OK now imagine that you are someone else,[1] watching you, and from that other  perspective, how do you think YOU looked to that person, as you were sitting laughing to yourself, smirking at 'nothing' trying to control your face so you won't be seen...

Do you know what they call people who sit and laugh to themselves when they are alone on a bus?

They call you crazy. Lucky for you I know lots of psychiatrists who will help you with your insane laughing problem. E mail me with your name and address and I will send them around for you.
