Have you ever laughed uncontrollably all by yourself? If you haven't, you can stop reading because I'm about to really embarrass myself. If you're with me, enjoy this commentary and laugh out loud with me!
I seem to do this all.the.time. My friends will attest to this as well, as I'm often the only one to laugh at certain scenarios. Sometimes it's just in my head, but other times, it's a full-out laugh. Most of the time it happens when I'm remembering funny things that have happened to me. Case in point... two months ago, while making Jiffy Pop in my Blacksburg apartment with two of my friends watching, I proceeded to run in place while I was shaking the metal pan uncontrollably. It seemed to make the task of popping that popcorn that much easier. Andy why not get a little workout in before indulging in a butter-drenched snack? I think I was even singing to myself at one point. The memory of this adventure cracks me up. Embarrassing? Yes. Funny? Even more so.
I also tend to laugh out loud with myself when I'm watching a TV show or a movie. Modern Family gets me every time. Romantic comedies...of course, but it's usually at lines that no one else would notice like lines from this scene in Two Weeks Notice:
The final thing I tend to laugh with myself about are just situational. Take yesterday for example. I was trying to find a card that I bought for my cousin for his birthday, so I ran upstairs to get it. After coming down, I realized I forgot my pen, and then I found that my stamps were upstairs too, so I made three trips up and down the stairs of my house in a matter of a minute. The thought of that alone made me laugh all the way up the stairs the third time and shake my head at how silly that minute was.
Maybe it's just my care-free attitude, but this quirky trait of mine doesn't even bother me. I'm actually rather fond of it. Keep the hysterical situations coming, God, and I'll keep laughing.
