    Living in New York means your freakish obsessions are no longer grounds for involuntary commitment at Bellevue. Instead, you become the subject of magazine interviews ("One Is The Loveliest Color") that spin your mental health issues as quirky.

These people may be nuthouse-worthy, but now I’m wishing I’d chucked that English degree for a lifelong pursuit of “color theory.”
