I can see the 30 day observation ward and the adjoining playground really clearly with all that the pairing implies.<BR/><BR/>btw, saw the movie Running with Scissors which you mentioned here a while ago. Mostly hated the movie, but I see why you think of it as similar material to some of your childhood stuff. Honestly, yours seems more interesting and potentially would make better fiction. <BR/>Running with Scissors felt like one of those memoirs that was publishable only because it sounded so crazy and that would be the case only if you happened to believe it actually happened that way. Had it been fiction, I don't think it would have been credible. Your stuff has much more dimension, should you ever care to go there :}.Chanceluckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16829789745697541046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8858435.post-61058440711700586992007-02-21T20:58:00.000-05:002007-02-21T20:58:00.000-05:00Yeah, you ended up here, with old Korean ladies of...Yeah, you ended up here, with old Korean ladies offering you bagels.Tanya Espanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15608494032531056424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8858435.post-83372670504801908362007-02-21T20:52:00.000-05:002007-02-21T20:52:00.000-05:00That story made my ass twitch with fear and made m...That story made my ass twitch with fear and made me bubble over with giggles at the same time.
