My attempts to be funny in my group of friends usually results in me crossing a thin line that I don’t see coming until I step over it and realize how much of a fool I have made myself into. Everyone else mostly knows how to play that line and say things that are somewhat distasteful yet funny. I, on the other hand, barrel right into that line and shatter that line, along with any sense of dignity along with it.

What’s more is that I only seem to do this only when around my friends here at school. Every other time I have a good time, and I don’t cross that line. I wonder why that is the case? Maybe I am more relaxed around my friends here? Maybe I am led into saying dumb things by my friends creating innuendos left and right? I am not sure, but maybe I should just stop trying to be funny. I fail at it all the time it seems.

Well I guess it’s off to Fark to see if I can see something that gives me a chuckle or laugh.
