one swell thing about being me

is my poker face.

it's always on.

sometime's it's smiling, laughing, or otherwise happy.

sometime's it's not a poker face - it's a real face.

but sometimes it's a poker face.

and when it is, nobody knows it. at least, that's my observation. i could be dealing with an ulcer, a detached bicep, dysentary, a frontal lobotomy, terminal boredom, and the drowning death of my goldfish - and nobody would be able to tell that something was "wrong".

at least, that's my observation.

combine this with my chronic inability to excuse myself from a conversation and you can understand why i've got a reputation as a good listener.

plus, i'm a good listener.
