Entry 27:

Hey, I hope your Christmas was as funky as mine :) Mum & Dad renewed my prescriptions for me, the dears. But my best present of all was from Skink (mail order, of course). A pair of laser-cut, technologically advanced, super-cooled, super-toasty, socks -- made of some kind of space-age material. There's just no limit to those funky Japanese and their technology. Some Jehovah's Witnesses turned up on the doorstep this morning. I thought they'd learned from the last time, but these ones were new. "Uh, merry Christmas," I said. To which they replied: "And do you know why we have Christmas, young man?" "Well, I know why I have Christmas, but I suppose you're referring to the J-man's Birthday." The two old dears exchanged glances and continued. "Yes, Jesus was reborn on Christmas day and--" "Whoa, reborn? That's a pretty cool trick." "Quite..." "He's a bit like me in that respect. I was reborn recently. There I was, quite sane, quite together, then woomp! I was reborn a crazyperson. I even have a card to that effect, would you like to see it?" "Uh, no that's okay, we'd better be going. C'mon Gladys." "Perhaps I'm the new Messiah?" I called after them. I figure I won't be seeing them again, at least until next Christmas. -CG.
