Crazy classmates

I had a mate called chris, he was a lunatic drunkard, drug abuser but he was a good lad. He was kicked out by his parents and slept on park benches, sheds, anywhere with shelter. He passed away about 5 years ago after solvent abuse. A nice lad by all accounts but bloody crazy

Friend of mine eats anything. I mean ANYTHING. He eats peels of oragnes in a turkey sandwich with chocolate milk drenched on it. I'm not kidding.

Same kid snorts Ambien and knocks himself out with gas from his lighter (he enhales).

Somehow he's so freakin smart though! I'm at one of the best schools in Texas and still he's in all highest honors courses

A friend of mine in college decide to drop out for a year and tour the country on his 10-speed bike. That wasn't the crazy part.

He decided to do it with absolutely no cash to his name. He ate out of garbage bins, and slept in roadside parks.

Now I don't believe everybit of his story, but he did return after 4 monthes about 40 pounds lighter and stinking to high heaven.

I once locked myself in the bathroom. Then there was the time I slept into another class. Then there was the time I ran to get deoderint after The Producers, almost missing the bus and scraping off a large bit of skin in the process. I got liquid nitrogen on my pants in a physics lab last week. Oh, and I wrote a birthday greeting in my own blood. Then there is my general reactions to conversations. If I missed something I generally say 'HUH?!' the caps being appropriate.

Oh, then there is the Armenian down the hall. he stuck a capacitor he got out of a dumpster in a wall socket. Took out power in the room. Then the other day he blew up a microchip while testing electronics. I'm sure he's done other stuff, but I can't remeber what.

A long time ago, I think it might have been 6th grade or 7th grade, a colleague of mine, think his name was Alex, found a 2 liter bottle of some type of alcohol and drank himself into a coma.

If "crazy" also includes mental problems, then yes.

One guy likes to talk about (my God the first time I met him I didn't know he was crazy; he kept talking to me continuously throughout the class and all I could do was "uhuh" "umm" "what?(feigned surprise)" "cool" and other such generic responses) all sorts of crazy stuff all the time. He kept talking about how he hated the Catholic church (something about they're evil) and he likes to talk about Lucifer (the Devil) and such. Funny--but his condition is actually quite dangerous: he cut himself several times, if not more.

Strange that I would befriend such a guy and continue to be friendly with him, considering my usual social awkwardness and the aloof, "genius, shy, amiable" kid air I usually radiate. [Warning - impression and truth are different things, like the descriptions in the quotations above]

I could give my - religiously inspired - answer, but this is not the backroom.
