ORIGINAL: gypsygrl I just realized something. I have this long detailed profile that I put some thought into and I've been keeping it active for a month or so, tweaking it every now and again. But, I forgot the most important thing. A sense of humor. Nowhere did I mention "fun" Needless to say, I added that as a criteria. But, it got me to thinking. In the past, when things were good, I knew they were good, because I was having fun. Even when I was getting the crap beat out of me, I was loving it because it was fun. And, when I stopped having fun, everything else went bad because, well, it just wasn't fun any more. There was no laughter or joy. No giggling. No irony. Just grim reality, as heavy as the winter is long. I feel like I should put out some profound and serious question about fun. But, that would be counter productive. So, Im wondering what role does humor and silliness play in whatever it is that you all do when youre doing it. And, if humor is important, how do you keep it fun? Good thought, gypsy. Humor is a part of me. I kid around with some of my patients and am more quietly humorous with others. Humor is a great help in making people feel better. I like to have fun with my friends. I like to have fun with whoever I am involved with. When things are going wrong in a relationship and even trying to have a little fun to lighten things up (at the right time, of course...not in the middle of a very serious discussion) doesn't go over...then I have the feeling that the relationship is most likely doomed. I like to tease and joke and be silly sometimes. Not always...and I think I am pretty clear about where the lines are...but if I have to be "M.O.A.H.S." (pronounced "mo ass") all the time, then I think I want to resign.
