Laugh Out Loud

I have a laugh out loud problem. Well, actually I have a few.
The first one being that I’m a loud laughter. Sometimes people are rude about this like those jerks at Urinetown who told me and Memily to be quite during the dance break. It was a dance break - there was no witty dialogue to miss or anything. Whatever. That show was ridiculously funny.
The second problem is that ever since Calliope (Mommy’s favorite daughter) I sometimes snort when I laugh too loud. Thank you so much, Pringles. If you don’t understand this then let me know and I will enlighten you. It’s not as interesting as that last sentence makes it sound but now, well ...
The third is that sometimes I laugh out loud when I’m reading something funny. I’m not good at keeping it in and I kinda think it’s like sneezes, it’s not good to keep it in because your brain might burst or something like that. Naturally this happens when I am work in the museum (while not as quiet as a library it’s still pretty quiet) or some other inappropriate place. Similarly, I had to take Eddie Izzard’s Dress to Kill off of my ipod because I would listen to it while I was walking around and laugh out loud and look like more of a crazy person than I do just on a regular day (I believe we’ve talked about this before).
The fourth and final problem is that I hate Hate HATE “LOL” - I think that it is stupid and demeaning. If what I’ve said is actually laugh out loud funny then you should do so and acknowledge it using actual words instead of acronyms. I don’t know why the “LOL” bothers me as much as it does but it actually makes me angry and I use whether or not someone uses it as a standard to judge potentially eligible men. Now, many people that I love use it and I do not judge them because of my great love and admiration for them but seriously, it just looks so stupid. The only one of those silly internetty/texty acronyms that I approve of is “BTW” I don’t know why. And “WTF” doesn’t count because that has been around much longer than the world wide web.
And as my friend Forest would say, “That’s all I have to say about that.”
Peace, my peeps.
