Giggling

I have learned a lot about myself these past few years. I have learned I have some pretty odd habits and quirks, one of which I think I will write about today.

When I get into a really stressful and scary situation, I giggle. No joke. I just don't know how to handle the pressure, so I giggle to ease the tension I guess. It's kinda embarrassing  since everyone else is really stressed or worried, but I can't help it! It just comes out!

Here are a few examples.

1. Once, when driving up Logan canyon in an awful snowstorm (which, all of you who have driven the canyon know is super sketch) every one else in the car sat there tensed and silent, while there I am in the back, giggling. I literally had to cover my mouth so they wouldn't hear me.

2. One time, I was climbing a tree and I fell out of it. I stayed on the ground for a good five minutes laughing. A very nice guy came over to see if I was okay, and I think it freaked him out that I was laughing and not crying.

3. The other day, a friend and I were driving in SF. San Francisco is known for the insane hills that you have to drive up. And we did drive up one. It was a practically vertical hill, and we drove up it in a tiny little hybrid car that almost didn't make it! And we giggled the entire time! We could have gotten in an accident, but there we were, laughing.

Don't get me wrong. I do get stressed and worried, but I can not, for some reason, produce a normal reaction. Oh well. Maybe giggling isn't so bad...
