You Think You Know #98

by Monique on February 21, 2008


I figure people would like to know more about me, so instead of doing the typical list of 100 or 5 or 50 or whatever, I am going to post 1 thing a week in random order. Eventually, it will total 100 things. I hope you enjoy it!

I pass out when I laugh.

I really do.

It began several years ago, not even sure when it started, but one day I was laughing and laughing, and I began to see stars. Next thing I know, everything was black and I was looking at the ceiling.

It was very frightening not knowing what the hell was going on. I went to doctor after doctor and took a crap load of tests but no one could figure out the cause. One doctor even told me to ‘not laugh so much’. Well thank you genius.

Nowadays I know better. I can usually feel it coming on which helps a lot. Every now and then though, I will be cracking up and get carried away. But you know, sometimes the laughter is worth it.
