Funny-funny

by Rissa 6/23/2008 12:19:00 AM

I have had a seriously hard time thinking of posts to write. I don't want to write about just anything. I want to write about just anything in a funny way.

You see, I've never been a very funny person. You know how in a group of people there's that one person who is completely silent and shy until one unsuspecting moment when they suddenly blurt out something totally awkward and not funny and then everyone is uncomfortable. That person is me. I try to be funny but my mind just does not work fast enough. I like to write because I can think for days and days about how to phrase things and how exactly to put the funny-spin on an ordinary tale (I know what you're thinking. You're thinking "she thinks for days and days and this is all she ever comes up with?).

After I write a post I always call Jim. Our conversation goes somwthing like this:

Me: So, I wrote a new blog today.

Jim: Oh yeah?

Me: You're probably not even going to read it.

Jim: I'm reading it right now.

Me: NO! Don't read it now, you have to read it when you come home so I can see your face. I need to see if you think it's funny or not.

Jim: It's funny.

Me: You probably don't even think that. You probably hate it.

Jim: I do think that. Its funny and I like it.

Me: You are just saying that because you are my husband. Is it funny-funny or just funny.

Jim: Everyone's going to like it. Don't worry.

Me: Mmm...I don't know. Do you think I'm pretty?

Jim: I think you're beautiful.

Me: You probably don't think that.

Jim: I do think that.

Me: You probably just say that because you have to...

Anyway--You get the idea. So, for my small amount of readers out there who do put up with my atempts to be funny, and I do mean funny-funny, I promise I'll spend days and days thinking of something to post. Just please don't leave me for another funnier and better written blog.. My self esteem relys heavily on my stats counter. As you can tell from my conversations with Jim, I need gentle firm reassurance every now and again constantly.

It must be some kind of disease that hasn't been discovered yet because I suffer from the exact same symptoms. We should probably never have a conversation just with each other. Neither of us would get anything out except random awkward spurts while we are trying to come up with something funny. BTW, you are ALWAYS funny-funny.

Don't worry, I think your blog is funny. My mom does, too. I visit often in the hopes you have posted something new!

I am also that awkward person at the party. Once I said something that I thought was funny but someone took it the wrong way and I ended up really hurting their feelings. Dangit.

There is never a need for you to wonder if you are funny, I spent a year living with you and you were always histerical with a moments notice, I"m pretty sure it's your brute honesty which I've always admired.

I just got the birth announcement for Cambry, she is even more beautiful than I imagined! I can't wait to see you and the baby!
