Abe's Rabbit

I'm reading this guys story of his experience in a psych ward and he's just said this really funny bit.

Cindy is one of the staff on the ward and she asks him if he's suicidal, he honestly admits 'yes', 'do you have a plan?' and he replies 'No, but I'm open to suggestions.'

Lmfao.

Oh my god, I finished his story (which is called Abe's rabbit, hence the title) and it made me cry!

Basically this guys roommate is called Abe, and Abe has no one but his pet rabbit, no job, his wife got custody of his kids and wouldn't let him see them, so he literally had no one but his rabbit. No one was feeding his rabbit so there he is getting worked up in a psych ward because he couldn't feed his rabbit.

The guy who's telling the story, Benjamin I think his name was, he realises that Abe is really upset and thinking suicidally, so he tells him of a rabbit he had called Houdini, and how this rabbit used to get a carrot in his mouth and pry the door open.

Ben was on watch in his room with Abe trying to make sure he didn't kill himself but got a call from his wife.

When he goes back to his room it's filled with nurses who won't let him in. You can imagine, Ben's upset with himself for leaving his post as it were and thinks Abe's killed himself, then hears a staff say there was a carrot in the door to keep it from closing and then he realises Abe just escaped. Above his bed post there's a little note scratched into the wood with the knife he thought Abe would kill himself with which read "Went to set a rabbit free. Remember, even the smallest things in life are worth living for."

So cute.

Well it's 5pm and I haven't eaten a thing. Been down the street twice so I've had a little exercise.

Had about two thirds of a litre bottle of Kx (stimulant drink 30mg/100ml) so I'm feeling pretty spaced.

It's kind of a nice spaced though. It kind of stops all my thoughts from drowning me out kind of thing.

Which is nice ... "I don't like it here, it's terribly crowded" - Hatter, Alice in Wonderland.

Watched it on Box Office twice yesterday I absolutely love it. I'm in a wonderland type place but mine is much, much nastier than Alice's.

It's great though, one of my favourite childhood stories (Alice in Wonderland) in a film directed by my favourite director (Tim Burton) with my favourite actor (Johnny Depp) playing my favourite character (Hatter). AND Tim fixed the one thing that pissed me off with the story, which was that she woke up and it was all a dream.

What I love about the way Johnny plays the Hatter is that his accent changes depending on where his head is at that moment, like if he's spaced out it's all ooooh and light and weird, but when he gets mad it's hard and randomly scottishy.

I don't know how to explain it but if you watch it I'm sure you'll get what I mean.

I like the March Hare as well, the way he just goes 'Spoon', that made me laugh my arse off.

But yeah...

If I had my way, I would make everyone leave me alone, I would lock myself in my room and I would stay here and crawl into my head and just rot.

That's what people should do. Leave me to rot. It's all I want and it's all I deserve.

And I honestly think that some day soon it's gonna happen and I'll be completely mad and nonsensical and off my head and completely round the bend in a 360 degree spin.

I don't know...I just know that I'm not...fine.

but hey ho.
