I've been thinking lately about the amount of craziness that I see among people. This includes people I know well. I used to think that if someone was my friend, that pretty much meant they were sane. (After all, nobody who was nuts would choose me as a friend, right?) As I've gotten older, I've grown to realize that many of the people I consider (or considered) friends are a couple of grapes short of a fruit salad.
What sane person decides to pick July as a wedding date because her best friend is getting married in August, and then changes the date to June when her friend moves hers up to July?
What sane person unbuckles your seatbelt and hits the brakes on the car simultaneously just to see what will happen to you?
What sane person doesn't call you back or return your e-mails, but then gets angry with you when you stop calling and e-mailing them because "you aren't doing your part in the friendship?"
What sane person complains about being fat and then wears the tightest shirts in the world to show you that they're skinnier than you?
What sane person eats ketchup on eggs?
These are all real people. Some of them are from the past, and some are still in the picture. My question is: am I crazy for enjoying the company of them all?
Maybe I'm a bit off, myself.

Welcome back! I was wondering what had happenned to you.
As for craziness in friends: sanity is relative. What it is realtive to is the big question! Or, to rehash an overused line:
"You don't have to be crazy to live here, but it helps." just close our eyes and enjoy the ride, M.
