I Repent

 I was thinking about a statement I made on one of my latest posts that I wasn't fun, because of my tendency to respond differently. It came to mind one of those weird Facebook games that go around to use autofill to finish a sentence. One of those games I did with a relative, and the last part of the statement went something like, "Fear me, for I am_______." My sentence ended up saying, "Fear me, for I am no fun." Another relative chimed in, "Liar. You are fun." So in addition to that I also think of notes I've received, some I've received on past posts that agree with my relative's response. I now repent of my self-accusation of not being fun.

In fact, I think the exact reason I used for saying I wasn't fun is what in reality does make me fun. Yes, my responses are different. For example, I took this video from my trip which displays many of my reactions quite well:


That ending would have made a lot of people jump or scream, but all I do is simply state that it scared me. It's in that calm tendency that my fun actually shines through. That's where I have the advantage when something mischievous comes into play, and people think I'm ridiculously cute--not sure exactly why--when I start laughing, and it makes them laugh. I can imagine whoever was inside this Goofy costume was grinning when I started laughing (don't mind my own "goofy" look): 

Caught on Camera: Goofy broke me.

To conclude, I'm not allowed to call myself boring, because I'm not, and if anyone finds me boring, then they are obviously people I either haven't had time to show that side of myself, or I'm not familiar or comfortable enough with them to show that side of me. We all are fun in our own ways, but some of us may be a little more reserved about showing it than others.
