the lawlz
i need to compile a list of all the funniest, most hilarious things that happened this summer, fuckin humor you would find in a sitcom i swear.
or maybe just in life, if i can remember them.
then i could look back in a year or two and see if it was actually that funny, ha.
plus all the best memories seem to fade the quickest.
the things would definitely have to be in groups of friends- the more people i'm with at a given time the more funny things end up being. logical right? plus i just know a lot of people with great senses of humor, which i'm grateful for. [my people-prejudices fall in the range of 'people-who-are-stupid' to 'people-who-can't-get/take-a-joke' to 'people-who-are-so-full-of-themselves-that-it's-not-amusing-anymore' pretty much. yeah.]
hmm.
some East West Awesomeness.
'drahwh' vs. 'drawer': Dave vs. the rest of the East West dudes, i totally feel bad laughing about it but it was funnnyyyy
andrew asking me if i wanted to join the dance party: Andrew (obvi), Fred & Dave.. ahhhahaha their expressions. i should expand upon all of these when i'm not this tired, if only for my own later benefit ;)
"it's like freaking Ja Rule at this station!!!!!" ahaha Tyson, unknowingly vs. the interns. but not really. we just almost fell out of our chairs is all
hyena laughter.. kind of in general - the interns vs. the office, but especially the near hallway.
[ Okay so maybe some of these should not be explained, who knows who might come across this blog HA. ]
jess & me & fashion vs. (?): our girliness and just.. shiny brightness either disgusted the guys or... well. haha.
"you men and your PENISES!" and the discussion that led to that statement, ha. gotta love ro.
andrew vs. his walls... oh, andrew in general. his existence and personality just made the past 2.5 months that much more of an adventure. and if i'm going to say andrew...
dave vs. himself. unreasonably, reluctantly lovable. :) i can't even get into it, at least not without being embarrassing.
REID! so reasonable to love him. how could you help it? i don't know if any commentary could make one understand. but i'd throw in 'reid vs. future sister-in-law vs. his haircut' and just die imagining her telling him he has to cut his hair, and the resulting 10-yr-old-kid pout when i told him his hair looked nice. hahahahaha.
eddie vs. himself vs. {theories of eddie} vs. interns vs. each other - t. of E. is a member of both sets, ha. no further comment.
mmmm i could say more but they're not really hilarious persay. but,
'"i was gonna say, you must be taking crazy pills!" "in fact i am."' - will vs. me with dave as a witness, that i cannot keep my mouth shut when i am impatient. heh
brandon - ALL THE TIME. hilarity is his natural state. yeah i could never forget the interns in this list, like:
joey vs. the street teamers, oh the phone calls, oh the speakerphone. :D
joey's simmering yet hilarious 'anger.' all of us actually, i think it was just a part of being an intern.
liz vs. herself. no comment necessary.
me & tyson & tommy vs. miscommunication - yeah no comment for that either.
dave almost trying not to scold me and failing, almost always. hahahaha.
the interns & andrew vs. glamourkills, comment so unnecessary. though i do have that one shirt.
interns vs. silent majority group, along with-
interns & their pop-punk and/or metal vs. the office, which i'm sure at least someone was quietly complaining about to someone else.
interns vs. meredith's(?) office - wtf at that situation, and indoor dumpsters.
interns vs. non-green practices. recycle, motherfuckers! i mean, they try up there. they're just not very successful.
interns vs. anyone and anything at any given time, really: once we got comfortable with each other we were such the biggest shit-talkers ever haha.
me vs. the dark knight (&brandon and joey) - stilll haven't seen it. take that!
the rain vs. tim's band: okay, not funny, but two saturdays in a row? at least he found the humor. and speaking of that,
tommy vs. the rain report vs. coney island trip. oh man.
'"he's... a dick!" "really?!?!!" "well.. he's pretentious. maybe not a dick." - me & tim and the ensuing conversation, which i'm not really sure i agree with but i guess i'll never know.
eddie vs. summer camp and/or jewishness, tommy vs. summer camp doesn't really could cause it wa sweet.
"and THAT wouldn't be creepy at all." - that last day was full of gems. oh dave. his mind, which works frighteningly a lot like mine. and the mental image i got of andrew playing pick-up basketball or whatever, which is probably a completely correct one haha. tyson and his bright-eyed enthusiam for like, almost everything nearly all the time :) which is perfect for what he does anyway.
which pulls me back to something that i'm sure probably happened every week, but i'll slip it into the next sub-category.
the end all be all of any list of hilarious happenings-
AWKWARDNESS.
intern me vs. awkwardness: going to ask someone something totally simple (usually dave) and finding the whole freakin world of E/W at his desk. like walking into a party you didn't know was happening and saying loudly, "party goin on HERE, huh?!" which, come to think of it, i did. probably every time haha. until it just wasn't an awkward situation anymore, so at least that happened.
the employees vs. strange new situations vs. interns: two words, lunch breaks. hahahaha oh man.
me vs. people absentmindedly expecting me to know everything the first day i got there, when i still only knew like 2.5 peoples NAMES. *shakes head*
elevators. no comment necessary.
my fashion sense (vs. blue polo shirts?) vs. eddie: incident can easily be summed up in the phrase, "it wasn't awkward until you said it was awkward. now it's awkward."
an office setting vs. my fashion sense: strappy things, hipster things, short skirt things, NYC 90-degree summer things... oh i could go on. but mostly just the brain lapse involved in forgetting that i was going to be in an office [full of men] all day. too bad it wasn't warmer, farrr more pants and jeans wouldve been involved with my legs haha.
me & everyone vs. the kitchen doorway and kitchen in general - yeah, lots of me cracking the hell up inside my head while others felt awkward. sorry boys. well, except theb british dude, he was far less awkward, so maybe it's more a 'me vs. the men of E/W' or 'intern girl vs. her new temporary co-workers' thing. haha.
oh! bathrooms! obviously.
sooooo all this really proves is that i think practically everything is funny. but there you go! told ya that already.
or maybe just in life, if i can remember them.
then i could look back in a year or two and see if it was actually that funny, ha.
plus all the best memories seem to fade the quickest.

hmm.
- "the waffle kids" as jamie and i refer to them would be one; [myspace.com/thewafflestompers, and all friends associated with said band even vaguely]
- and of course "the statelkids/statelcrew/statelhump" [myspace.com/statelman.. yeah me and my band friends i know];
- then radio station people, though they really cease to amuse me fairly easily [see people-prejudices #3];
- East West office / internship people is the new category, which inspired this post, because some truly hilarious things were seen, said and experienced within that lil piece of real estate in new york city;
- people i've met through music and the music industry in general would be another, because somehow most of those people that i know also know each other! i was talking to Katy about how it's not really surprising anymore, but hey. almost anything's funny to me;
- Moraine members/ex-members/fans/general Central Jersey/ex-Hamilton Street (whew!) crew might carve out their own niche in the above category actually, i can make the grand generalization to say they're freaking funny;
- Rutgers people could be one, but it seems like people i meet here tend to have more subtle, intellectually sly and subversive humor that doesn't make you bellylaughoutloud but is more of a constant hum of chuckling laughter over a long period of time;
- i'd include high school/general pre-college peeps, but i don't see them face-to-face veyr often if ever, and i seriously doubt my recall ability of jokes and anecdotes. i could definitely try though;
- Co-workers tend to roll into that intellectual Rutgers category, mostly since i do in fact work at Rutgers, but it's also because i have nerdy jobs. not to say i don't have dumb friends acquaintances at RU, but see people-prejudices #1. i don't hang around them for very long.
- lastly are(?) an amoebous group of friends-of-friends that aren't actually firmly attached to any of these groups.. prob don't deserve a category of hilarity because those interactions are just hard to remember in general, which your brain probably thinks is for good use and reason... they're just not important in the long run. harsh but true, except in like.. 8% of situations? just made that up.
