Interesting tidbits of the day:1. I left my thumbdrive in my jeans and put my jeans into the washing machine. >(

2. For the first time in my life, I dry-swallowed a pill. It wasn’t that I’ve gotten over my fear of tablets or that there wasn’t water around; it was just cos my hand-eye coordination sucks and I swallowed my pill before putting the cup of water to my mouth.

3. My friend has gone mad. No, seriously. Okay lah, maybe not going mad, but she’s either
(a) having a nervous breakdown or
(b) possessed.

This morning (while I was still asleep), everyone else apparently heard her, who stays next door to me, alternating between crying, laughing and wailing in her room.

Divya summoned her courage and went in to check on her.

She – I dont want to mention her name – told her that Jesus, Allah, Buddha and other gods were inside her and it was her duty to “spread the message”.

Things she said:

She’s committed a sin by having a girlfriend (she’s lesbian) and she’s realised that her mother is an angel (her mum has always been very against her being lesbian) and she’s going to break up with her girlfriend now and set her free.

Her mom was also a lesbian, but gave up her own girlfriend to have her (my friend). She had her by having sex with her own cousin.

She pissed a MHC staff off by telling her that there were people in the world chanting black curses towards her.

She has the cure for AIDS. God also told her she is going to marry Bob Marley’s son.

She had this epiphany when she read a book on Pandora’s box,

She came up to me, hugged me, told me I was beautiful and told me to watch more TV (although she’s usually always nagging me about watching downloaded stuff on my comp) – because sometimes TV has a message. She told me to watch Spirited Away because “the director knows”.

The worst part is, she’s a senior and all seniors are supposed to hand up their papers today so they can be graded for their graduation testimonial.

Because of this, she did not finish any of her three papers due. Divya said she might not be able to graduate now. I dunno if that’s true.

Her mother and uncle came rushing down from New York. I think they took her home with them now cos when I came back from dinner her room was silent.

I feel so sorry for her. I seriously thought she was possessed, dah lah I so superstitious wan.

But I guess its a nervous breakdown, probably brought on by exam stress and pressure from her mother for being a lesbian.

Shit this is fucking depressing.
