My time at xanga is finally over. 

I am moving my blog to wordpress,  you can find me at:

http://amyellison.wordpress.com/

bookmark me, and stop in to say hi often.

Many of my xanga friends have enabled heir xanga friends lock, so only xanga people can see their blogs, so I'll probably have o signin still once in a while.  UNLESS of course, my friends would consider moving to wordpress too... All are encouraged tto visit wordpress and create a wordpress.com to see how easy it is.  It is free, has a more proffessional look/feel, and NO advertisements. please oh please try it, it's for your own good.

Bye!

I've been thinking about humor.

I really appreciate people who can make me laugh.

Being funny is a gift and an art.

Sitting alone with my husband one night I looked over at him and said, "I am not funny." To which Drew said, "Huh?" and then he loked at me with a pitying look and continued, "Lets just say that of the two of us, you're the serious one. But you sure know how to laugh at things that are funny."  

I really wish I was funny. Once in a blue moon something will come out of my mouth that is truly, smartly funny.  And it always surprises me. More often than not I keep my mouth shut and let the really funny people do their thing, because usually when I try comedy I fall hard.

There are different kinds of funny.  Off the top of my head I can think of slapstick, wit, sarcasm... hmm.. there's gotta be more.  what's your favorite funny? 

I love wit. It takes thought, timing...  I cant stand sarcasm.  It's like cheap humor.  Anybody can do sarcasm.  Heck, even I could do sarcasm.  Good slapstick usually gets laughs out of me too - but then i feel mean: sitting comfortably, laughing at someone elses misfortune.

But as my Love pointed out I can laugh.  I love to laugh, it is so good for us, you know?  More often than not I find myself laughing much louder than anyone else in the room, and I quickly turn down the volume and think, "Gosh! How long was I laughing so obnoxiously loud? Does it sound that loud to everyone else? Why doesnt someone ever tell me to shut my trap?"

I guess I must have good friends.   And thank God so many of them are funny, otherwise Ms.Serious here would shrivel up from humor deprivation.

happy to have internet. happy to be back on xanga. even if so many of my friends aren't.  (YET).   ahem.
