Why is it always death with these people? It's never about kittens and rainbows, or predictions of generic good surprises -- no, it's always death or conspiracies. Harmful things.

...and, yeah, that sounds like plain ol' schizophrenia to me. Probably not an omen, though you'd do well not to hitchhike or tell people "I'll be right back" or anything else cliched, at least for a few days. ;)

(heh... because of course you need caffeine after that kind of experience...)

yeah, lack of fluffy topics I guess. I'm sure there are harmless scitzo's out there, but i seriously doubt they come to the attention of the general public as their idea of "crazy" could be construed as 'talking with the angels' or some such thing. Joan of Arc what?

Oddly enough, I'm reading* this book called "Saints and Madmen", which is about exactly that -- the boundary between "God talks to me" and "I'm fuck-all crazy". Or the boundary between religion and psychiatry, and where they overlap.

*I read nonfiction in geological time, so when I say this... I've been "reading" it for months now, and it's a smaller book than I'd usually finish in a week.

Um, if I may interject?

There do, in fact, exist people with the "all kittens and raibows" affliction. They are called "cheerleaders."
