Check your birth certificate and see if there is an Insanity Clause

MMF

He doesn't turn up until Christmas

Read the Necronomicon.

Curse you hoovery one, i was going to make that joke.

My birth certificate has a "Sanity Clause".

get a boy/girlfriend if you haven´t any, and be unfaithful to him/her. Pretend that nothing is happening.

go to a party, meet that person you like so much, flirt, rub, kiss... finally you end in bed with him/her and you are so drunk that... a pity...

You, my good personage, are lacking immoral fibre and sections of your sentences!

Take loads of peyote/acid/mushrooms and lock yourself in a sensory deprivation chamber. Warning, this may have the side effect of turning you into a monkey or some kind of all-powerful proto-being.

No, count Nighthoovers.

Read Finnegan´s Wake by James Joyce.

As a bipolar person, I felt particularly sane whilst reading Finnegann's Wake.

>>i plan to go insane<<

It's not something you can normally plan if you mean it literally. Though maybe you could experience it briefly with LSD or mushrooms. To be serious, As someone with bipolar disorder, I have to take medication to stop it happenning to me. I have been sectioned once in my life when I had my first manic episode. That was before I knew I had this problem. Now its possible to manage it fairly well. If you go insane you become pychotic and completely lose touch with reality. It's interesting in some ways, but not entirely pleasant. And depressive psychosis/nerosis is a total clucking nightmare. For me when I had my manic pyychosis it was a bit like 'dreaming', but being awake. But you're probably joking about madness to a degree. I frequently do to, because I reckon I'm often a bit a bit mad even with the meds.

Schizophrenia is another form of madness. The psychosis in this seems to be much more deep seated and harder to control with meds, juging by the schizophrenics I've met. And if I'm honest, I don't really feel I've much in common with them, as they seem to prefer to veer towards delusion much of the time; maybe I'm a little prejudiced against them as its a bit close to home.

>>i plan to go insane<< Be careful what you wish for!
