it seems sometimes that lots of people think I'm strange, because when I'm out, I'm not giving the least little mind to how others perceive me, or whatever - I just go out, see how I feel about a crowd's energy, have a drink or two, try and laugh. But it never fails if I go out deliberately to meet someone, it doesn't happen..
