I miss my dear friend, Sinead O’ Connor. I still remember watching her on television ripping up that picture of the Pope. She was my hero that night because she had the balls to do that. I keep telling people Jesus gave me Schizophrenia. Nobody believes me. I can’t figure life out. I want to be a little girl like Charles Manson. He is over there trying to persecute me. He looks like a girlie Manson. Look I am here because I am crazy. Quit trying to persecute me too. Tell me why I can’t have meth, pot, or beer. I like those drugs much better.
