god. i was good looking. you know, you could'a run an ad in the personals. this ain't permanent. my friend reed's working on a cure. i think. you don't know what it's like out there. walking around like some kind of circus freak. people staring, whispering -- i mean. 'scuse me. if you're trying to cheer me up you're doing a helluva job -- reed's gonna fix me up -- skeptical?
