One of my favorite things ever? Having the giggles.
There is something absolutely wonderful about laughing till you cry.
Or till you feel nauseous. Or till you "feel full." (haha an explanation will be given later in this post).
Why is that? I suppose that's one of the unsolved mysteries of life..
Well, within the past two weeks, I have had many of these hearty, genuine laughing moments with a variety of friends. I feel as though this is worth blogging about.
Well, first, let me warm you up with this video...
All right.. now that we've set the tone, I think I'm good to go with my stories.
Saturday, January 28th with Sarah.
Picture this: two slightly lonely single girls who love Jesus and want to hang out for the night after a stressful week. Keep in mind these ladies are not only single and love Jesus, but also are extremely quirky, pretty awkward and love each other like sisters. Now give them Chinese food. Continue warming them up to the Saturday night by giving them a few hours to shop and a cup full of frozen yogurt.
Now that these two ladies have had delicious food, cute clothing, plenty of good talks and on top of all of that, SUGAR, unleash them in Walmart. [[By now I'm sure an image has formed in your head.. I hope not one too dramatically terrifying.. but you're probably on the right track.]]
What do you get when this happens? A lot of laughing and a ton of strange dancing.
Now zoom in, if you will, into the toy aisle. Yes, you are correct. You will find us there. With hulahoops. Wearing superhero costumes. Hiding from creepy baby dolls.
You may now zoom back out. If you're really zoomed out, you will see little people that resemble gummy bears. If this happens, zoom in a little bit more. Now that you can see properly, you will find two 20-year-olds hugging giant bears (that match their skin color, might I add). Now one of them (one of the girls, not the teddy bears) are climbing on display couches on top of shelves.
Now within all these scenes, throw in some clips of us pressing every single singing item's "play" button and dancing to them: dancing stuffed animals, CD samplers- you name it.
To finish off the night , while driving back to the dorm, these two girls drive around campus screaming "WHO DA MAN!? Je-sussss!" at fellow colleagues.
Yes. This happened to be one great night.
Gym dates with Ashley & Rachel
While this doesn't have quite as detailed of a story- I can really just sum it up with this:
What do you get when you have a theater major, a politics major, and a communications major? Legitimately the best conversations EVER.. leading to much stomach aching (from laughter) and tear shedding (also from laughter).
Chic-fil-A with Carla, Andrew, Heather and Max
This one also lacks a legitimate story, except for the fact that our conversations are hilarious. I don't know about everybody else I was with, but for me, when you place a delicious chicken sandwich, waffle fries and lemonade into the hands of a hungry, angry student (I can't believe the Patriots lost the Superbowl...), you get one crazy senorita.
Conversation topics?
Imaginary friends.
Play rooms in fast food restaurants.
Adventures in Odyssey.
Creepers during swing dancing.
Swing dancing the wrong way.
"Your face is doing it wrong. Your mom did it wrong."
Getting full from laughing so hard.
Not understanding how this is possible.
Finding out that it's not fullness from laughter, but quite possibly nausea from laughter.
Still not sure why that is.
I'm not really sure what was laughed about.. but there were tears of laughter involved.
Thank you, Jesus, for laughter! So good for the soul.
