For some reason I was left to ponder what to write about in my blog next. Thinking a bit further into it, I came to the realization that my blog probably isn&#8217;t as funny as it used to be. This might just be my own perception, but if this is true, then it means that something is off.<\/p>\n<p>Most of my friends seem to find my oddball situational comedy (sitcom!) entertaining. I can usually count on a chuckle or a laugh from something I said. There&#8217;s no real pattern to it (aside from frequent innuendo) and I just say whatever pops into my head, even if it doesn&#8217;t make sense. On occasion I&#8217;ll just get a blank look from people, but most of the time they find it strange enough to laugh. I enjoy making people laugh and it&#8217;s something that seems to just come naturally.<\/p>\n<p>So why do I think my blog doesn&#8217;t go into humor as often lately? Maybe I&#8217;ve been getting more of my &#8220;funny&#8221; out than before and just don&#8217;t have much left to write about here. Maybe it&#8217;s after the scare I had at work and I suspected that some of the things I write about work might possibly get me in trouble there (most likely just paranoia). Whatever it is, I hope to get myself out of this rut and explore my humorous writing side a bit more.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>That being said, found this &#8220;what (thing) are you&#8221; and as usual, it seems to describe a bit of my personality&#8230;<\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"350\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td bg=\"\" style=\"color: rgb(238, 233, 233);\" align=\"center\"><span style=\";font-family:Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;font-size:14;color:black;\"   ><b>You Are Midnight<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td bgcolor=\"#fffafa\"><center><span class=\"frame-outer  small \"><span><span><span><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.blogthings.com\/whattimeofdayareyouquiz\/midnight.jpg\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/center><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"><br \/>You are more than a little eccentric, and you&#8217;re apt to keep very unusual habits.<br \/>Whether you&#8217;re a nightowl, living in a commune, or taking a vow of silence &#8211; you like to experiment with your lifestyle.<br \/>Expressing your individuality is important to you, and you often lie awake in bed thinking about the world and your place in it.<br \/>You enjoy staying home, but that doesn&#8217;t mean you&#8217;re a hermit.
