Residents of 2-10, I was hoping to talk to you all about possibly squatting in your room for a few days a week. Obviously if there are any major objections, that will be the end of discussion, but I'm hoping everyone will remain reasonable about this. [Her tone of voice makes it pretty obvious that she will not make it the end of discussion in the slightest.]

...Relatedly, to my roommates in 1-07, would bringing home a bunkmate be absolutely out of the question for anyone? I promise to keep him out of trouble. Or out of anything sharp...

And for everyone else who's interested: Does anyone have any methods to snap someone out of something? [Sigh] I'm at a loss and completely open to ideas at this point.

In my experience with humans, insanity is insanity. You either know what you're doing, or you're batshit crazy. It's hard to change that just through experience.

Insanity is multi-faceted. You could be my kind of insane: Mostly lucid, could pass for a perfectly sane individual fairly well, minus my inability to understand typical emotion; or, you could be his kid: Unable to understand reality, along with hallucinations, violent mood swings, and some highly unnerving facial expressions.

[Sigh] And for what it's worth, where I'm from, insanity is contagious. Experience counts for a lot in this case.
