Throughout my time traveling on public transportation, I've listened into a lot of great stories. I've also had the opportunity to observe what people are reading. Sometimes it is the expected NY Times Bestseller and sometimes the Bible, but every once in a while you get something unusual with crazy titles along the lines of "How to Beef Up Your Sex Life" and "The Difference Between Your Dog and Your Wife." Those are not the exact titles and I'm not even sure if they are books, but if not you are free to steal the title. The best books are the ones covered in brown paper. You know it has to be something good....
But the other day, I saw something I had not seen before. There was a girl on my bus writing in what looked like a made-up language. Now, I love language. I have studied quite a few and seen even more in art, but this wasn't a real, sanctioned language. This was her own. Then it made me wonder, what you be writing about on the bus that would need a secret language?
