This is not the same picture as before. I told you it all looks the same around here. I was nearly out of my mind with boredom. I was ready to scream and start babbling like an idiot. Then I realized that I was babbling like an idiot. I'd been talking to myself for hours, using every trick I knew to keep from going insane with boredom. I'd told myself every story I could remember and kept pretending to be interested and surprised at the ending. I'd told myself every joke I'd ever heard and laughed politely at the punch lines. I had even sang every campfire song I remembered from youth camp and had sang most of the verses to 100 bottles of Diet Pepsi with no caffeine on the wall. Dear God, save me from this monotony!
