the answer to this prompt, for me, is too simple and too expected. I don't need as much stress. I don't need as many bagels. I don't need to pick up after other people when they don't do their share. I can't even think of any silly things that I could add to the list because this year has been so good, so fun, so positive that all I really want/need is more of everything! so, I am turning to a different reverb11 prompt [because there are several versions happening] for today and it is this: "Laughter: Reflect on the last time you laughed so hard your sides hurt, your mascara ran down your face, or you wet your pants?"
No lie, Damn You Auto Correct kills me. I was reading the "top 25" list and had to take my glasses off because i couldn't see through the wet shmeary lenses. I very rarely laugh that hard at anything.
But what I think is really really fantastic, is that there have been moments in the last year that DID make me laugh that hard, and they weren't because of websites, or movies, or stupid videos. They were real moments that I got to share with other people. Like the day that I was outside bugging the boyfriend while he was reading his book and smoking his cigarette [gross, i know]. I think I was hugging him from behind and wiggling ridiculously, which was making him laugh, which, in turn, was making it difficult for him to focus on his book.
"I can't REEAAAD," he said to me.
"OH MY GOD WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME! HOW HAVE YOU BEEN PRETENDING ALL THIS TIME?!!??!"
We both just lost it. His neighbors must have thought we were on drugs; standing outside, laughing hysterically at nothing with tears running down our faces... The conversation continued for a few moments, broken up by the insane laughter and getting all the funnier to us. I'm actually giggling about it now, as I remember it.
We laugh together a lot, the boyfriend and I. Mostly at ourselves because we're both so ridiculous. I need more of that, because being ridiculous is fun, and laughing is healthy. :)
