After being pent up in a boring, fluorescent lit OR for 8 hours I have pretty much had it. My mini-freakouts help stimulate my brain that has just turned off for so long. Here's my average min-freakout. 10:30- punch out- get to the mini (van). Generally crank up the radio (dance music prefered but not required), occasionally short outburst of song or strange sound effects that might resemble a cool, hip beat that goes perfectly with the currently playing song. There is also usually intense body movements (maybe perceived as dancing, or a seizure). Hands are flailing all over the place, except for the steering wheel. After a song or two, the pent up energy is pretty much out and I resume my commute southeast toward the homeland. Sometimes the event is over before I am out of the parking lot. Depends on how the night went.
Mini-freakouts on the motorcycle are also particulary enjoyable, though slightly more dangerous because they usually involve higher speeds. Song and dance still noticable to the passerby. Yes, music through one headphone in the helmet. Illegal or not, it adds so much to the motorcycle experience. Don't yell at me unless you ride, or have been hit by a bus while rcoking out to Kelly Clarkson. Then I will listen to you...maybe....don't touch my Kelly.
I assure you, my mini-freakouts are oh so necessary, probably even healthy and of course, they are mini. I don't even know what a full out freakout would look like. Scary stuff.
So there you have it, my intimate confession about my mini-freakouts once I am done work. Don't tell me you've never done it.

Touchet Touchet Touchet!!! Your brief explanation of what a "mini-freakout" looks like from a passerby in your world is probably not too far off from that of most people (including myself). I must admit mine are not on as frequent a schedule as your are (ie: every Fri night), but none the less, they do occur from time to time. You always have been one with words...much better than I.
