I was thinking last night about laughter and the different ways we use it. I was talking on the phone to a girl I met online. The first phone call is always the most nerve racking. Anyways, something she noticed is that after every sentence I would have a little laugh like "I went to the store yesterday. he he. I bought some milk. he he.What did you do? he he" I guess one of my ways of dealing with stress is laughing. The goal for me is to get her to laugh. I think I was able to do it ;-) When I try to do it I don't really have anything prepared I just try and make a situation funny. For instance we were talking about music. I said I would play guitar until I was in a nursing home. I can picture the attendants coming in the room telling me to turn the guitar down. I can picture other people blaring heavy metal and moshing in the nursing home. It'll be a completely different culture when we turn 80. Anyway that made her laugh, which made me laugh less , which made it all good.
