A few years ago I got thread worm.
don't wait for my Dinner of the Day post, my appetite is a bit off. Not sure why.

A few years ago I got thread worm. It was a bit of a horrifying experience because I opened up my asshole in the mirror to check what the weird sensation was and saw all these creatures crawling out of me. I remember picking them off with tissues and watching them squirming and writhing. It’s a surprisingly visceral feeling to know you’re body’s inhabited by parasites. They’ve inside you (a common delusion of schizophrenics). I didn’t sleep all night out of discomfort and horror, but the sleep-deprivation made it all worse. Made it all more nightmarish and hallucinogenic.
Every single time I’ve shat since I always have an inspection. Every time I feel a slight twitch or a twang in my bum I get paranoid. My life will forever be compromised by that experience. PTSD- Post-threadworm shitting disorder.
it's strange (and maybe very telling) that all my paranoia's revolve around poo.
When we were kids my brother had worms. He described a similar feeling and I had nightmarish thoughts about it. The whole family had to take the medicine which kinda reinforced the idea that we could be infected, every time I dropped the kids off I stared for ages looking for any tell-tale movement in the, er, movement and then I would almost start seeing things. It was horrible but I'd totally forgotten about it. Until now. Thanks.A few years ago I got thread worm.

Perhaps the most audacious Long Sixties deployment of the term, though, belongs to Charlie Manson. Talking to Rolling Stone in 1970 about how coyotes move through the desert, Manson explains that “he hears every sound, smells every smell, sees everything that moves. He’s in a state of total paranoia, and total paranoia is total awareness.”
to be honest, that's how I remember the quote: "total paranoia is total awareness.”Davis mentions that in that 'Practice of Paranoia' piece. Apparently he was interviewed by Rolling Stone.
so... I used to "train" under a "master"
one thing he told us was "you're in the city centre, you got to be on red alert, all the time"
that's why I never wear headphones in public
Yeah, I don't wear them either, although it's more to give my ears a rest and so I can hear cars and people around me rather than out of fear I'm gonna get jumped. I definitely wouldn't wear them at night for that reason though.
