"...so then the hooker said, no wait, oh yeah, right, the hooker says "dwarf? I thought you said go down on the wharf, ha!"

(Inner thoughts) :

Holy shit he didn't laugh. He's frowning. Oh man he thinks I'm an idiot, I must have offended him terribly.

But wait.. maybe he's just stoned and can't understand the joke.

Yes, that's it. But I can't know for sure. Don't say anything maybe he'll forget about it.

Oh wait now he's going away. Is it to get away from me? I must have said something wrong.

Why did he decide to go over there at that particular time? Should I go with him? It looks weird if I just stand here. Was I being inappropriate?

Maybe he expects me to follow him. Maybe he'll think I'm rude if I do follow him. I can't ask him if I should follow him or not.

Holy fuck! I'll just stay in here and listen to the music.

What if I've been making a fool of myself and don't realize it? What the hell have I been saying the past five minutes?

Fuck! I can't remember!

What have I been talking about this whole time? Christ I have absolutely no idea.

What if it was evil shit?

What if I've alienated him?

Wait a minute this is weird, I'm stoned, I'm being paranoid. I can't expect myself to answer these questions in this state.

But what if I'm not paranoid, what if this is the one time when there really is something to worry about?

How can I tell the difference? I'm stoned!

Holy shit. I'll just try to relax. Take deep breaths.

Wait, have I been breathing this whole time? What if I forget to breathe?

Oh shit, that's ridiculous. Or wait, I could be breathing but I may not be breathing enough.

But what if I try to compensate and breathe too much? I could puke and pass out and make a fool out of myself. Shit, I'm getting nauseous. I'll time my breaths

1-- 2-- 3--

Wait, how do I know if I'm counting too fast or too slow? Holy fuck. My sense of time is distorted. But are things happening slower than they appear or faster?

Oh wait, he's coming back.

He's not saying anything. I must have said something wrong, but I can't remember what it was.

Ask him. I should ask him if I said something wrong. I should just ask very casually, then I'll know for sure and can relax.

It's okay. Just ask him.

"Hey, uh, did I just say something wrong?"

"Wrong? When?"

"Just now, I mean a few minutes ago"

"No."

"Okay"

Listen to the way he said "no". So final like that.

He didn't 'just say 'no', it was like he knew what I was talking about but was just humoring me. Like it didn't OFFEND him technically, but there was something ELSE wrong with it that he's not saying.

Or he could have just been sarcastic. Or nasty.

Or he's just being polite and doesn't want to offend me.

What if I didn't say anything wrong and now he thinks I'm weird for bringing it up?

Either way I'm fucked!

Maybe he's fucking with my head.

What if he thinks I'm paranoid?

Wait, what was I just thinking about? I was thinking something important just now.

God, I can't remember what it was.

But I'm stoned, it's okay.

I should just try to relax, you know.

Why isn't he saying anything??

I offended him I know I did.

If I try to make a conversation it might make things worse. But if I don't say anything he'll think I'm being rude.

I should just try to relax and enjoy my high. Calm slow even breaths. Am I breathing audibly?

But, what if he hears me breathing weird, and wonders what's wrong with me?

See, he just looked at me.

Holy shit. Was I just sitting here this whole time, breathing heavy and staring at him, and didn't realize it? Was I?

I can't remember.

What was I just thinking about?

Oh shit, he thinks I'm a psychopath, there's no doubt.

I'll just sit here.

But if I don't look at him at all then that looks weird too, it's like I'm avoiding him and being antisocial. How do I know what the right amount of looking at someone is?

Shit I should just relax. Relax and enjoy my high.

But what if I shouldn't...?

Ah, fuck it, I think I'll go find something to eat...

Phish is about to come out.

I hope no one here can tell that I'm high.
