I'm not up to that many people around. When I joke it don't sound like a joke...When I say kill the umpire everyone & everything stops like I'm not human...I keep playing acts to the fears of the kids that pass by my cell...I'm in history already as a cult leader etc. with powers its illusion to me...I've been in the fast lane as long as I've lived as was my mom...I don't like the scenes(?)..."
