That was hard to say. Something normal people do.

I'm not normal. In hindsight, I've never been normal. Never will be, obviously.
You betcha! Can't imagine the state, though I do believe a lot of people approximate it more closely than I. Sometimes I've tried to think to myself, what would a normal person do? But it doesn't help, 'cause it's like wondering what Tom Sawyer or someone who do -- normal is near-fictitious for me.

I do better thinking what a more sober alcoholic with a jumbling of various other psychiatric, racial, sexual and etc labels would do. That thought at least gives me a laugh!
