I have two friends that make me feel like I am the least revealing person they know. 

The most serious I have ever been is when I called a woman rude in the Trader Joe’s check out line. I suffer from number blindness when it comes to finding my spot, so I was in the wrong. Another time I was truly very serious was when I tried not to faint next to my brother after his surgery. My hands clammy, hanging onto the gurney, I got depressed that I could never be a doctor, I got depressed that hospitals aren’t shiny. 

The times I am the most unserious are my journeys on the bus. I watch pigeons eating salt, I watch hand offs and hand shakes, I try not to miss a thing.
