I mean I really think it is making me crazy. Like, turning my mind inside and out, upside down and rubber bouncy. I woke up around 5am, unable to sleep, heart pounding hard. Did a couple of slow shots, with ice water chaser. Didn&#8217;t wake up feeling too boozy but it&#8217;s just a stupid life I live. To make it worse I got another small money-from-the-sky windfall today, so I&#8217;m just going to stay as lazy as I can.<\/p>\n<p>I have been reaching out to this girl I&#8217;ve known off and on for a long time. She&#8217;s awesome. But I don&#8217;t want to suddenly be her best friend. I do not know her deal, I do not know who she is. She would probably say exactly the same about me.<\/p>\n<p>At the library, where I notice that the passing of the R or M train rattles the building. There is someone here who looks like a guy I do not know, I think named Rudy. He was a Sunswick acquaintance. One night, out of nowhere, he came over to me and yelled &#8220;LOVE YOUR RECEIPTS!&#8221; or &#8220;NICE RECEIPTS!&#8221; or something like that. I am not sure that is actually Rudy sitting behind me but it looks like him. This person also resembles another guy I used to see at RaR. That guy, for whatever reason, was always the only dude at a table with 5 or 6 women, all of them scorchingly beautiful. So I don&#8217;t know who this person here is but guess what, it does not matter.<\/p>\n<p>It is quiet here, unlike previous visits.<\/p>\n<p>I had a somewhat elaborate correspondence yesterday with an artist who was looking for payphones. She is probably sorry she asked me, since I am non-stop on this subject matter. But I think I was helpful. She was not particularly appreciative of my expertise (hah) but it&#8217;s all good. It was, for the moment, nice to have someone to talk to. I do enjoy the brief conversations I have with a certain bartender friend but, of course, those talks are brief and one must be efficient in talking to someone working behind a bar.<\/p>\n<p>Aha, a boat load of kids just arrived. Let the noise begin. Was not planning to be here long, just wanted to see how the atmosphere was. It&#8217;s no Rose Reading Room but it&#8217;s alright.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not having anybody to talk to is driving me insane.
