Do you have that one friend who is a dork? You know the one who is constantly goofing around, tends not to be serious . . . ever . . . laughs at everything? My thinking is –as warped as it may seem–if folks are laughing all is right with the world, so I strive to facilitate that as best as possible.

And on that line of community service I feel I provide, and to keep the dorkiness at an all time high, I cannot stand lulls in conversation. Quiet, is for when you are home alone–not when you’re with friends. I may not always present bright or earth shattering quips of whit and knowledge, but I will dern sure make the quiet . . . not so much. Shoot even when you’re with others, I hate the quiet. While I will never initiate the conversation standing in line I dern sure will keep it going as long as the other person is trapped in my presence.

I think this comes across as a problem in my writing lately. My dialogue goes on and on and I find I have to go back and trim down the less than whitty banter and K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid). My youngest child unfortunately has the same affliction and well, I wanna pull my hair out–so I know why I have been threaten with toilet paper and bodily harm. :poke:

(After the last few weeks serious is HIGHLY over rated! so excuse me if I goof with ya)
