Don't know what's better. A screaming junkie, or those Jesus pushers outside Footscray station that stop you so you have to take your headphones off.

Why stop? I just hiss at them and keep going.

When I was young and edgy, I'd tell them "nah I can't step foot in a church, sorry, I burst into flames; I've tried."

"You must really miss your family"

"What did you used to do before you did this?" "That sounds awesome"

"Where do you see yourself in five years time?"
