So much is going on inside me these days... It's frustrating, it all fights for release at once. And I'm so freaking busy, ugh. Enough of that

Laughter is my drug. I love it. I love doing it, and I love making other people do it, even if it is at my own expense.
Often I laugh in the wrong place at the wrong time, and as my laugh is distinctive and weird, I get mocked for it alot. But, you know what? I don't care! I'm having fun! (Ex: my sophomore roommate mocked my laugh, so I mocked her hilarious sneeze--and now it's a joke.) And if I can step back and laugh about a situation, then it makes me more confident that I can tackle it successfully.
My family always made fun of my laugh when I was a kid. But it went hand-in-hand with the "you're too loud" chastising, not just by itself. So loving my own laughter went along with learning that I'm a loud person and it's not my nature to stifle that. Now I get so mad if I'm at the mall or something and I'm talking excitedly or laughing and the person I'm with tells me to be quiet. There are places where quiet is necessary, and I understand that, but why should I stifle myself when my loudness isn't offensive? Just because someone else is afraid I'll get stared at, and they'll get stared at by association? Then seriously, I think they should find someone else to go out with.
Too few people are willing to laugh with abandon, or take every opportunity to laugh. I laugh at the drop of a hat, because it makes me happy. People tend to think I'm weird for it, but really, I'm not concerned about giving them another reason to hold that opinion.
I'd never tell you to be quiet. In fact, if people turned to stare, I'd laugh harder, and maybe cross my eyes at them. ;-)
I happen to believe that 'weird' is a complimentary word. I remember saying 'thank you!' all pleased, completely without thinking -- which baffled the person who told me I was weird. I guess I confirmed that idea!
