Epic Print

It’s a common situation: I’m sitting in front of my computer with Microsoft Word open. Tomorrow, a 10-page paper is due and my screen is blank. Not a single word is typed. Luckily, those 10 pages have to be double spaced. I go up to the Paragraph settings and change it, right?
No.
I will endure writing all of my pages with single spacing. Even if it seems like it’s taking longer. Even if it’s harder to read. Even if it makes me think that I have less. I will endure.
Now why would I want to put myself through that type of torture?
Although the paper must be ten pages in length, once an entire (yea, entire) five pages have been written in single spacing, the trigger can be set.
For, by only going to the Paragraph settings window, one can set the spacing to “Double,” click “OK and. . .
Rumble. . .
Rumble rumble. . .
CRASHHHHHH!!
By the mere click of a button, my paper has magically and magnificently DOUBLED IN LENGTH. That’s right. All of the time I spent writing the five pages seemed like a century in comparison to the five seconds it took me to make five more pages.
And I can relax and unwind with the subtle clanging of my printer, printing out two times the amount of pages I had only moments before.
That is what makes my printing epic.

The First

So this is the first. I'm not really sure why I'm doing this, cause chances our i won't have time to commit to this like I should. Not to mention I'm not really sure I will have many, if any, readers.

I lied twice in the opening of my first post.

I actually do know why I am making this: because it looks fun! My friend AnnaKelly stated a blog a few weeks ago, and I am kinda copying her. lol.

The second lie is that I won't have time to commit to this. I actually do have time, I just tend to be very lazy sometimes. I'm not quite sure when it started, but I developed this habit of not being as committed to things as I used to.

So I'm starting a challenge.
I'm going to post at least once every week for the rest of 2009.

Now what will these blogs be? Well, as the title suggests, I really think that laughter can be found it all circumstances. Laughter is a type of healing that needs to be taken advantage of. So that's what I will try to bring to each entry: some type of amusing commentary on a world event, a funny observation, or just interesting occurrences in my life as an American high school student with a part-time job at a wonderful grocery store.

So I really hope that the tens of hundreds of people who will read this enjoy themselves. I'm not going to promise much, except that I'm just out searching for the LOLs.
