adoring fans

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2008.12.19

Cycling home at this time of year the city streets are full of people celebrating. It's bonus season and carousing people in sharp new clothes wave for cabs from the side of the road in small knots.

After passing several of these groups it occurred to me that they were waving at me like I was a passing athlete. So I started waving back, as if to my adoring fans.

It was fun.

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you.
