I was never a pretty girl, so I wasn't the one to get the boy. I used to cast myself as a good sport.

My best friend in medical school was a magician. And we were shown an X-ray of a sword-swallower, and I tried it and failed. Then I got a sword-swallower as a patient, and he taught me.

My best friend is me, and I take good care of me.
