My friend Genie makes me laugh :)

She's the only person out of our old group of friends who I've kept in contact with, and vice versa. I see her every day and I'm moving in with her in a week! :D

I'm finding it hard to put my finger on anything that specifically makes me laugh with her, because it's just everything - there's nowhere I laugh more than in her presence :)

A lot of the time it's just shock at how similar we are. Genie and I, as cliche as it sounds, are constantly finishing each other's sentences. Sometimes we'll both hum a random little jingle at exactly the same time for absolutely no reason - that really freaks people out! :p The thing is we don't know how we do it either...

Laughter is good for you. They say that when laughter is shared, it binds people together and increases happiness and intimacy. In addition to the domino effect of joy and amusement, laughter also triggers healthy physical changes in the body. Humor and laughter strengthen your immune system, boost your energy, diminish pain, and protect you from the damaging effects of stress.

A powerful antidote to stress, pain, and conflict and imbalance. I lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert.

A tremendous resource for surmounting problems, enhancing your relationships, and supporting both physical and emotional health.
Laughter is good for your health

* Laughter relaxes the whole body.
* Laughter boosts the immune system.
* Laughter triggers the release of endorphins
* Laughter protects the heart.

And yes, laughter is good for your heart and soul. I have always used that old saying " if you don't laugh you'll cry". Laughter relaxes me and cleanses my soul. If I am upset or worried or stressed out, a good laugh always helps me. Sometimes when the world seems dark and gray, laughter can bring out blue skies. Yes, I know that sounds corny but it is true.

I generally laugh when I'm hanging out with friends, reading the comics, or watching funny videos on YouTube. There are lots of benifits to laughing a lot, which is why there are plenty of Laughter Clubs. These are basically clubs were people to go relax, and laugh to enjoy the benifits of laughter.
