LOL!

the one thing that never fails to make me
Laugh Out Loud.

My mom always tells me that I was a silent and quite boring infant. While my brother and cousins giggled and cried and drooled and such, my mom describes me as having been wide-eyed and scream/tear-less. She and my daddy would try all sorts of things to make me laugh or smile but I never showed any signs of breaking from my expressionless "O.O" face. Finally, one day, when she had given up all hope of her first-born daughter ever cracking a smile, a miracle happened. She was doing laundry with me on her back and as she whipped open a wet towel from the wash to hang out to dry, infant Cheryl started cracking up. Amazed, my mom continued to pull clothes and towels from the wash, whipping them to hang. I cracked up each time she did so. Okay, see? I was strange from infant-hood; I can't help it people.

To this day, I don't find many things funny. My close friends are always telling me to stop fake-laughing or to stop giving people dirty looks when they try to be funny. I don't know what it is. I also just really don't see the humor in some of today's most popular comedy shows, movies, or jokes. Like Will Ferrel and Vince Vaughn, The Office, and those dumb kids in Superbad? All un-amusing idiots.

I don't find towel-whipping funny anymore, either. I don't know what I was thinking back when I was nine-months-old; it's not that funny. You know what I DO find absolutely knee-slappingly hilarious, though? This is something that not many people know about me but I have always always always found this particular thing to be insanely funny. You know when people spin in circles? They spin and spin and spin and then they stop and try to walk in a straight line towards something and then their feet get all tangled and they fall and trip everywhere? I THINK THIS IS EFFING HILARIOUS!!! Omg, thinking about it right now is making my fingers twitch with glee while typing! SO FREAKING FUNNY!

Wooo-saaaaa... okay, I'm calm now. HAHAHA! Okay. Seriously, this is the ONE singular most thing that will never ever fail to crack me up. If I'm mad at you or upset about something, now you know what to do.

This post was actually originally supposed to be about the two things that make me laugh. Unfortunately, I drafted this post quite a while ago (today is actually the 29th of September, contrary to what this post says in its title) and completely forgot what the second thing is. I tried really hard to remember, but I just can't, so I'm assuming it's really not that funny and I'm over it now. Basically, I just think it's funny when people fall or trip or hurt themselves by accident while doing something dumb. Have you ever seen that Japanese show on SpikeTV? I'm not going to go into details, but those of you who know, you KNOW what I'm talking about right? Oh, it's also funny when Asian people can't speak English (check out engrish.com) and when people fake accents (punjabi style or otherwise). People who are funny without knowing they're being funny are great too. They're the best kind of people, in my opinion.

Damnit, I really wish I could remember what my second thing was. It was probably at least slightly amusing.

Cheers,

Cheryl
