what makes you laugh out loud
i can not laugh in any other way than out loud. who can remain composed and be internally laughing? i can not imagine it.
i am seemingly compelled to find things amusing at times where it is mandatory that i be somber. if i know that the consequence of me laughing will result in some serious social misgiving, then that is the first thought that starts to pull my face into a smirk.
funerals are bad places for me to be. there are people all around who are all crying and feeling bad. when it is the obligatory "mingling" and bonding whatever period, they all mill around and look for comfort in everyone else.
then someone looks at me and has some expression on their face which is sad, and i realize that i must try to fake an expression of "hmmm too bad". but i pull a goofy face (despite my attempt to be reverend (i am not really interested in their grief so i purse my lips and go "hmmm" and it looks stupid)) and then they are taken aback and then i dissolve into laughing fits at their reaction.
i have to remove myself from places of solemnity because i can not remain serious in them.
(also with police men who think i am strange and want to ask me questions after pulling me over, i start to smirk and it makes them cranky and i can not help but smirk at their annoyance, and that compounds the matter).
other things make me laugh but that is the main one.
