Day 15: something that made you laugh this year

As usual, my December blogging fell to the wayside for Yuletide writing. Good thing I don't care if I'm posting a December daily meme in January. (Or February ... or March ... oh dear.)

I spent a lot of time fighting either depression or those oh so fun bipolar mixed states (where the terrible darkness of depression mixes with mania, so basically I want to destroy everything immediately because it is all terrible and I can't shut off my brain's whirling thoughts long enough to deal with it), but I did manage to laugh a lot. I spent a great deal of time with grad school friends (reunions in Chicago, St. Louis [twice], and Memphis), my siblings (who are hilarious and delightful), J and his family (competitive card playing is hilarious), and my beloved dog, who is so cuddly and warm and silly and delightful I laugh at her pretty much daily.

And you guys are all pretty great, too, smart and funny and supportive.

So I've had a lot of laughter even during the darkest years, and I know how lucky I am for that. I will leave you with a quote from the holiday celebration I had with a couple of my siblings:

Brother M: [The alarm clock] sounds like R2D2 having an orgasm.

I thought one of us was going to pass out, we were all laughing so hard.

[The alarm clock] sounds like R2D2 having an orgasm.

Well, that's a mental image I don't know what to do with.
