April Tomfoolery

Surprisingly enough, I'm not an April Fools Day hater.  I won't even complain about it.

Okay, maybe I lied.  I will complain a little bit.

I am a huge fan of holidays.  While I have never really been a prankster, I have never been an AFD Scrooge, either.  As long as people don't get carried away with their pranks, I think that it's just one of those "all in good fun" things.

I'm generally not a target of practical jokes, which is probably good because--depending on the severity of the prank--my reaction could be pretty unpredictable.  Although, you think I'd be an expert at this kind of thing by now...

Sometimes I feel like every day of my life is AFD and all these cosmic jokes are being played on me by the Universe.  I say all the time that my life is a joke and that it isn't real.  But these statements don't come from a negative place--it's just so much funny stuff happens to me that my life is one walking ha-ha moment after the next and that some of the crazy things that happen to me are so far-fetched that I disbelieve that they are actually even real.

I can't help the weird things that life throws at me.  I just choose to roll with the punches and laugh stuff off instead of being overwhelmed by it all.  I'm a funny girl: I notice funny things, I make humorous comparisons, and I am an expert-level hyperbole user.

Of course there are things in my life that suck.  I keep waiting for that "APRIL FOOLS!" moment where all this dead weight is cut loose and the joke that is unemployed singledom is finally over.  But until then, I'm just gonna keep my chin up and laugh along with what is going on around me.  After all, nobody likes a sad clown.
