"I'm exploring Pastafarianism," my best friend declared during a coffee shop meeting. The other patrons, oblivious to our world, went about their business. I, however, felt a strange feeling of euphoria wash over me.

My friend went on to describe the belief system, and I simply listened, nodding my head. The more absurd it sounded, the more my face warmed with delight.

I felt suddenly energetic. As we left the coffee shop, I felt ready to leap into the air.
