The Laugh
So I've been watching The Girl #2. She seems like a sad person when she's alone. When surrounded by others, she laughs a lot. A heckuva lot. The Laugh has always bothered me. My first conclusion pointed to a defense mechanism. Signs still point that way.
Case in point: her vmail greeting. She sounds sad. Not only that, she sounds morose when she leaves messages. Maybe that's just how she is on the phone. That could be problematic. If she wants to be in the business she thinks she wants to be in, she's going to have to liven up her phone persona.
When she's walking alone, she seems always pensive. When she's sitting alone, smiles don't seem to creep on her face. Ever.
Surround her with people and she's all laughs. It's a stark, almost eerie contrast.
I wonder if the laughter is real. It feels real. Maybe that's enough.
She's a very complicated portrait of a person. Come to think of it, I wouldn't be interested if she weren't.
