Funny vs. Weird. Which are you?

How do you know you’re not weird? Not cute weird, but a contender for the most socially awkward award?

I tell sarcastic jokes. I save the best ones for myself.  Sometimes, I laugh so hard, I can’t even get passed thoughts to develop my silly bites into sounds.

On other occasions, I blurt a blurb and receive blank stares in return. Do I talk too fast? Was my listener unprepared for the mind blowing humor I bestowed on them?

…Or are they scared because they don’t know if they should humor a crazy person?

Some people laugh at all my jokes. I like those people the most. Maybe the same way pheromones naturally attract people together, some people are biologically geared to laugh with me.

It’s not all the time you meet someone who oscillates on the same wavelength as you and I’m glad for the precious few I’ve found.

If we’re all crazy, at least we can look forward to making up the best nut house around. We’d medicate with wine, sooth with chocolate, and cook with cheese. Sounds more like heaven.

Don’t get all carpel tunnel on the word choice. Better writing to come as soon as I figure out how to balance the new life.

I’m lucky to have had the time with my kids when I stayed at home. Unless I really am awkward. Then this turn of events is doing wonders for their development.

    Ok. Have you been peeking in to my diary? I’m a weirdy.

    That’s why I blog, have no friends in this small town.

    I am the neighborhood nut.

    Adorable post, I loved it, and you took the thoughts right out of my head, sister.

    I feel your pain.

    Definitely weird if I’m to listen to my hubs. I’d like to think I’m a little funny. But jsyk, the other day someone told me that crazy is the new normal. And key is to find someone that accepts you as you are.

    Okay maybe just crazy, BUT I like foxes. Also I would give you some major competition in that most socially awkward award!

    I think I am hilarious. Sometimes others do. I tend to make myself laugh the hardest. I am a dork or weird or maybe crazy.

  11. I’m funny, damnit! Or at least that’s what I like to remind my MIL. Of course, its mostly snarky humor. Heaven help you if I ever try to tell (or retell) an Actual joke. I could read it verbatim, and it still would fall flatter than my kid as he tries to sit himself up.

  13. The crazy makes us originals rather than copies. Although my husband might want a copy by now…of Eva Longoria.

    Good luck with everything. Sorry it’s been so long – things crazed over here too.
