Secrets

So I can't keep secrets. I try, and I guess I'm good with other people's secrets but I can never keep one about me. I wish I could say that it's because I believe my life should be an open book or that I don't have regrets. But no, I just have a big mouth. Worse even, when I get nervous I talk. A lot. Unfortunately this usually leads to me taking about myself until I say something way out there, then I get The Look. The one that says " I can never think of you the same again."
I never know what to do after receiving The Look, so I usually end up sitting there quietly the rest of the time which probably makes me look even crazier. Then it's awkward. Then I find an excuse to leave.

Now the part that really sucks, I always do this around family. Usually Doug's family. Then I don't have a choice, I have to go back. Can't I just say I'm sick for the next 50 years or so?
