If you suspect you're crazy, you most likely aren't.

As for me, I'm perfectly normal. Confused

People tend to ask if I'm ok.  I have a funny way of connecting random stuff together, or just being an oddball.  Its just how I'm wired, but I can mostly control it.  Its been like this since I was able to think and act individually (as in not a tiny baby.  My guess is around the age of 2?)

21-22 was a pretty rough time for me.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

It probably started a little before 16 (the same time I got into prog. coincidence?). Now I feel like I have very few marbles that I lose track of occasionally but I usually recover them.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.

Seeing as you are in allegedly in South England, that makes perfect sense to me.

I know I'm perfectly sane, because my cat tells me so on a regular basis

And furthermore, wibble wibble, macaroni artichoke and a side order of armoured personnel carrier for my inflatable carboard banana please. Thank you, your grace.

Speaking of the toy and not my sanity, I'd have to say around 9.  Watching Laugh In as a kid probably started the loss of sanity and then when I discovered Monty Python, it was all over.  I'm guess all of that probably occurred about the time I quit playing with marbles.  Coincidence or not? LOL

Also of note, I now have Marbles on CD and DVD which are discs and can be rolled or spun. Tongue

Sanity?  I've heard this term before.  Confused   I think I swallowed all my marbles when I was about 1.  But the good thing about being insane is I always have the voices in my head to keep me company.  I just wish the CIA would stop trying to steal my thoughts.  Angry
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I vote for 49 because this is my current age and I'm finally becoming increasingly normal.
