This may seem like a defense mechanism, because it used to be. Now it's just because I find humor in most things I do. Especially when I misspell Zombie. I'm apparently scared of zomies now...and write about them. ;D
I will say something utterly rediculous, or mess up reading the dots on dice and then laugh hysterically for minutes until my face hurts. Then I will turn it into an inside joke with a friend.
Can anyone else do this as constantly as I can, or am I just a comedic goof-ball?

my son used to be terrified of zombies...I just asked him if he was still scared of them, he said "uh, they creep me out a little bit"...He is seriously a goof-ball!!1

I find amusement in the absurd. Sometimes even the littlest stuff will crack me up.

The absurd is the best usually. Take Monty Python for example...

I blog about stuff constantly, and try to make them funny. I'm assuming I'm successful; when I shifted from myspace to Facebook, I had people "follow" me.
When I face a crisis, I try to think of how to write it to make it funny to make it through. I was mentally composing the blog I'd post later last time I had to take a kid to the ER the whole time we were there!

I started blogging recently myself, and I've written a lot about my various ... problems (and I've tried to have a sense of humor about it).
I'm starting to wonder if I should just start linking people whenever a topic comes up that relates to something I've written about myself on my blog.
Do you have your blog linked here somewhere, auntiewitch?

It's actually my facebook notes, and 90% of them are about my kids. PM me and I'll send you my "secret identity" so you can add me over there, and you'd be able to access them - they're set to friends only.

I think you have to be able to laugh at yourself. I tend to make jokes about myself that would have someone's jaw dropping if they heard them about someone else (and to be honest, I would be mad if someone I didn't know made them about me). But you have to laugh.
I use a walker about half the time, always if I am going long distances or if the ground is rough. I have peripheral neuropathy. Sometimes pressure on my feet gets to me, sometimes I get a bit lazy, and sometimes I get a bit silly. This was a little while back, when I was a little younger, and quite a bit more healthy. So I decided to use my walker, one of those deluxe fancy models with a seat and padded backrest and everything, like a wheelchair. You can't roll forward with them, but you can kind of push them backward.
So that is what I am doing: sitting in my walker, pushing it backward down the sidewalk, kind of looking back so I can push harder to one side or the other to steer. I hit a spot where one section of sidewalk was lower than the other, about a 2 inch drop. I went over backward. In slow motion. I had, it seemed like minutes, to realize - to know - that I was going to fall. Nothing I could do.
I didn't get hurt except for a pretty spectacular bruise across my thighs (I am on bloodthinner. My doctors hate to hear about me doing things like that.) Can't you just picture it, though? That is funnier than watching me try to walk fast, and that is pretty funny.
My mother always says that sometimes in life it comes down to laugh or cry, and what do you want them to see you do? I agree with that. But sometimes in life, it just comes down to laugh; it is just plain funny.

Gemini,
I have superficial poroneal nueropathy. I can relate to the pressure on the feet thing. I have to use my cane 100% of the time due to it. I currently can't wear pants or shoes due to the hypersensitivity of the nerve. My walker is just one of the plain metal adjustable ones. I think i want one with a seat on it. I think they make canes with fold out seats now one of those could be fun.
I was at a car show last summer and while walking around enjoying the cars, an older-than-i gentleman also on a cane held his up and we mock swordfought for a few moments. To the extreme amusement of the people with and around us. I won ;D
It's better to laugh than cry, unless you end up crying because you are laughing.

I tend to break out dancing if I'm standing anywhere for too long not doing anything else. while getting off the train i shimmed for a bit. and then after waiting like three quarters of an hour for a bus as the line was moving, i, standing in front of all my friends in the line, said "stop, hammer time" and proceeded to do that dance that which i'm not old enough to know if it had a name or not. i'm a silly goose, we know this to be true.

the dance I think was called the hammer dance. But I can't be sure. That was a long time ago and a time i'd like to forget, heh heh

I have no clue what that dance was called, but my friend's boss's five year old did the same thing recently. lol. I have to be able to laugh at myself, for one...I'm dang funny. Two, if I don't laugh, I'll cry. That's why I don't sleep so well anymore. When I get ready to sleep is when all my worries assault me. *shrug*
