You know when I usually compliment people, it always mean two things.
1. I am really complimenting the person.
2. I am really being sarcastic.

Usually it is the first and I try to not do the latter as often as I would like to. So now I am telling you that I find my senior Joanne very funny. And trust me, this is not the latter. People that know her will tell you that, if they don’t, they are lying. Ask Elaine, I am sure she can list out all the funny things that Joanne does. But according to Joanne, she obviously doesn’t find her behavior/personality funny. I mean which self-respecting human being will classify themselves under the funny category. However, she also forgotten that human beings are very capable of self-denial.

Before we go into the details, we should first define funny. Funny as in the Ha-ha-light-hearted sense, not in the bad way I mean. So it REALLY is a compliment. And sometimes I think it is a talent, or a gift, to be able to induce laughter in another person even without really trying. It makes people feel good, it makes people feel comfortable, and it makes it almost impossible to be miserable. I guess it’s a good thing. (:

Yesterday after training the four of us headed back to hall after dinner. While we were walking, Joanne suddenly talked about ‘Ping Pong’, which started off a whole series of unbelievable crappy talk that had the four of us laughing like mad. Seriously we laughed so hard that I am sure I am going to have appendicitis. The conversation went something like this:

Jo: I want to play ping-pong!
Me: you mean table tennis?
Jo: Also called Ping-pong what.
Me: But ping-pong sounds so. Unprofessional! Like if someone goes:’ Hey I am the ping pong captain!’ Totally not cool.

Ping-Pong was the catalyst. The alphabet P somehow causes Joanne to think of her all-time favourite song, which is a nursery rhyme I have never heard of. And when Joanne thinks of some song, she likes to verbalize her thoughts out loud. By verbalize I hope you understand that I meant singing. Have you heard of some pussycat song? No I don’t mean the Pussycat Dolls. I mean some nursery rhyme about some pussycat. Anyway it’s supposed to go something like that:

Ding Dong Bell
Pussy in the well
Who put her in?
Little Johnny put her in.

Okay I know this sound glaringly stupid but cut some slack, it’s a kids’ song. Apparently only Joanne knows how to sing it. So she, being obsessed with the alphabet P and this song, came up with a new version of the whole thing. It was ultra funny I think she is going to patent it or something.

Ping-pong Pell
Pussy in the Pell
Pho put her in?
Little pony (ps suggested PORNY! So naughty!) Put her in.

So the four of us just put each line as our msn sub nick. It is silly I know, but we really laughed and had fun. Momentarily about to forget everything that was wrong. I know this is a totally random and funny post, but thanks Joanne, for making me feel really happy last night (:

Point to note, today marks my 3rd week of limping. Anyone wants to give me a prize on that? * Mock gleefulness *
