    Today I learned that this illness exists. And that it's pretty damn abundant. Like, 1 out of every 200 people has it to varying degrees.

    Some days I wonder if reality is just a result of a bored writer's lame brainfarts.

    I had a classmate with it at college. At the start of every course, he would stand up and explain it, asking people not to be alarmed if there is an outburst. He was taking medicine but the control is spotty as best.

    Japan is one of the worst places to have Tourette. Nederland is one of the best places.

    Woah. I just checked and it's surprising how well it blends with her mannerisms.

    Sweet Anita is so lovely, and really good with words. So thoughtful.
