Laughter

Okay so I didn't avoid it all day... i got the necessities done and a little extra studying but otherwise I happened to find various AMAZING ways to avoid Homework Completely :)

first off after doing homework for about 3 hours I played air soft with some friends. We got two rounds done when my more responsible friend (and driver) decided that homework was an important part of the day for a college student (he's right of course...) So after doing homework and taking a nap (lol a very good way to avoid homework because most of the time you don't even think about it as you venture around in dream land)

After that I decided that doing something randomly fun for my roomie (who had been more studious then myself) would be a great idea. Then it occurred to me that while doing something non scholarly like, we could cheer up another friend who is currently bed ridden. THEN i happened to text a friend whom i was praying would have some epic experiences today - for whatever reason - God knows why- what i had envisioned didn't happen (actually quite the opposite occurred) So I had the perfect ingredients for a fun filled evening - do something random that will incur plenty of laughter from all three friend - thus hitting 3 birds with one stone.

So in short I planned with my roommate (she has the most amazing ability to take my most hair brained ideas and turn them into feasible realities ) and we hatched a plan of epic proportions. I convinced my somewhat disappointed friend (although he'd never tell you that) to come to our unnamed destination. And texted the bed ridden one to make sure she was up. Now all that was left to be accomplished was actually accomplishing the goal - laughter.

Laughter is the warm sparkling sunbeams to a day (and NO not all sunbeams are warm and sparkly) We all  laughed as we teased him about being our prisoner, Lost him in Walmart (or more of he tried to escape) and blindfolded him as we got closer to our destination and finally as we made him "march" through the apartment complex blindfolded. We giggled as we ate ice cream, stole phones, took goofy pictures and make a ridiculous animal cracker movie centering on the theme of the nearest holiday.

It was amazing. Oh but there was one more surprise in it, however this one was for me. More than just my 3 friends were cheered up, I was as well. and Perhaps more so. Because with my cheer, comes a sense of satisfaction that runs deep. I can make people happy - ie not just be a bother or a doormat. It feels good to laugh and for the record I have the most amazing friends :)  God is good.

All you need in the world is love and laughter. That's all anybody needs. To have love in one hand and laughter in the other.
