fizarts are funny

My daughter thinks I'm funny and this makes me happy because there aren't too many people think I'm funny.

Sure, people love to laugh AT me, but that's not the same thing as thinking I'm funny. I mean, who wouldn't laugh at a grown woman who didn't know a pickle was a CUCUMBER?

My boys used to think I was funny. Now they think I'm just "annoying."

Tony thinks I'm funny sometimes. Especially when we're watching TV because of my commentary. But then I'll go and rip a killer and suddenly, "I'm not funny" anymore. Excuuuuuse me for being human.

Lately, I've noticed when I write things that I THINK are funny, I always end up clarifying that in the comments "I was trying to BE FUNNY". That leads me to believe... I might not be funny.

Funny is important. I love funny people. That's why I love Melly so much. She knows how to bring on the funny. Trust me, even our "first fight" was funny because SHE is so funny. (ok and because it happened in a cheap motel which had a plastic donkey and a Jesus in the lobby) People who make me laugh are always my favorite people. So, excuse me for wishing I WAS FUNNY.

But, hey, Gabby think I'm funny and even if she is the only person in the world who thinks I'm funny, I'd be ok with that and I'm not just saying that because she farts when she laughs, which in turn makes me laugh so hard, I make peepee. I'm saying it because she has the most beautiful smile AND the greatest laugh I've ever heard.

One thing I've found is that funny is hard to put into writing. Especially lately. What's with everyone being so sensitive nowadays?

I think you're funny. And I'm not just saying that cuz I think you're hawt and I want you to like me.

Ok, the people who don't realize you're funny are the ones that scare me, Y. You are, indeed, very funny. It's kind of a mix of sarcasm and dry wit that some people just don't get. They're the kind of people that are manning my IT department at my corporate office...the ones that I make the suggestions to like since my e-mail is down at 10:30 a.m. on a Friday, that must mean it's time to hit the bar earlier than usual, right? And there's nothing but silence on the other end. Um, personality much?

Anyway, you've nothing to worry about. Some people don't get it. But lots of us do. :)

See, the problem is that I am just so much funnier than everybody else. It makes them feel as if their funny is inferior to mine. It's kind of like J-Lo's ass. I have the J-Lo's ass of comedy. You just can't compete with that.

But you are funny. I couldn't be as close to you and love talking to you as much as I do if you weren't!

Nah, you are funny. And sweet. I don't just start reading some random person's blog, then follow them through a sudden domain change even after I've found out that they're Republicans. ;) (joke! bad one!) You've got that quality that's like "Ha ha" one minute, "that's so true" the next, closely followed by "oh wow, that's so off the wall".

You ARE funny. Thats why I stop by and read you EVERY day lol. I was heartbroken when you changed domains and the link to your email would not work for me. I think I finally found you via moody mama?
