In love with Patrick again and again...

"Why you laughing?" a friend asked me (a second time) abruptly during a phone conversation as I was driving. Did it disturb her? Is this some annoying thing I do out the blue during little pauses in our conversation. Is this a part of my hidden self? Maybe I was surprised about what was said. Maybe I thought she saying something retarded. Perhaps I thought a good idea was discovered. I laugh out loud at stuff like that because it jolts my spirit a little. I mean, dag, the thought of her asking me like that makes me laugh now- cause I think her asking me abruptly about my laughter is funny.

My cousins think of me as serious. My oldest sister and husband thinks I lack sense of humor- mainly because I don't get all the email jokes she sends or I don't think some of the adult swim cartoons he watches are funny.

I get a kick out of some things- just laugh to myself- I love it. Maybe I strike her as being a little off. I'll ask or maybe I'll laugh when she says something real serious... and wait for the question just to get another giggle in.

This is the kind of silly stuff that goes through my mind. But I think I might start paying attention to this. I mean, this is a someone who asked me to watch Norbit with her because she thought it was soooooo funny. I thought it was ok-just not my kind of humor. After I watched it again and got over the initial shock, I laughed at some of the parts.

But if Norbit was funny to her, why is she questioning me for laughing at ANYTHING!
