Something that people might not know about me is that for some reason I have these random laugh attacks...the reason I say most people probably don't know this is because most of the time they happen when I've laid in bed, lights off ready to go to sleep, and Spence and I are just having a little conversation before we fall asleep and it turns into ridiculous laughter out of the blue. .
I just can't help it! The other day this happened and Spence didn't even say anything funny this time, which is usually what sets it off. The uncontrolable laughter came anyways...and kept coming.. and coming... i'm sure the new people that moved in above us were wondering what the heck was so funny at 2 am...
The ridiculous thing abuot them is that you can't control it! And it's not just the little polite giggles you give when someone tells a bad joke, or even a hearty chuckle you give when you hear a good joke, this is the gut wrenching, tear jerking laughter that makes your stomach hurt afterwards. And it doesn't matter what Spence says, it's halarious. It makes me laugh even harder when he says how weird I am and then makes me explain why I'm even laughing, which brings on a whole new wave of laughter because I realize what I'm laughing at isn't even funny. 
To the right is a picture of me genuinely laughing...not a pretty sight, I know. I blame my squinty eyes on my parents..but somehow mine and angela's are probably the worst in the family...but I will give thanks to my parents and family for a sense of humour. Some of my favorite memories of growing up are around the dinner table laughing, usually AT someone (everyone has been the target at one time or another, don't worry) or someone saying something funny during a prayer and everyone bursting out in uncontrolable laughter. I remember fighting with my dad and putting on the dirtiest look I could muster (no, I have never used this word before..but it's the only one that came to mind..) and bruce somehow getting me to laugh. It's hard to keep a straight face and stay angry when you start laughing. suddenly you forget about how mad you were.
I might not laugh all the time, and I'm definately not the happiest person, but I do love to laugh. The other day I saw two people walking down the hall laughing so hard that they could hardly speak. I had no idea why they were laughing or what was so funny, but I couldn't help but burst out laughing when I was out of their sight. It was hilarious. why? i don't even know. I guess it's cuz laughter really is contagious.
