I have Involuntary Emotional Expression Disorder (IEED)

The other day I tweeted this:
Cos my mom threw away my stuff without asking me (again).

And there's this one time a teacher was scolding Zhiyun and I (for not greeting her when we walked past her wtf) when I suddenly burst out laughing and couldn't stop. 
Even when she stared into my eyes and said "Huiling, bu yao xiao" ("Rachel, stop laughing").
I really can't stop even though that situation wasn't very funny.

BUT today I am enlightened.
These two events are related.

Because they are symptoms of 
Involuntary Emotional Expression Disorder (IEED)!!!!

I just read a new article on cracked.com about "6 personality quirks you didn't know were medical conditions" when I came across this "medical condition" and the description sounded really familiar.

(Btw everyone should read Cracked, it will crack you up. Ha ha ha ha. But really, the site is hilarious!)


So anyway cracked.com says that 
"This condition is exactly what it sounds like: having the opposite reaction of what is expected, such as becoming depressed when you hear good news, or laughing at a tense or unpleasant place, such as when someone tries to start an argument with you."


It is a common condition apparently, like there are people who laugh at funerals and stuff.
Weirddddddd. I hope I never will laugh at a funeral though, unless its my own.
Aahhh. Touchwood. I sort of love my life (even though it sucks sometimes) and I don't wish to die so soon.


But there is a cure for this condition by the way. It's cough syrup.


HAHA ACTUALLY I (SEKRETLY) THINK COUGH SYRUP TASTES PRETTY GOOD HAHAHA.
