Something silly I thought: what's your laugh like?
Like, my friends always told me that I had a laugh for every occasion. Because I have a "fun thermometer," they would watch my reaction to something funny and judge how funny it was by my laugh.
One even invented a nickname for me:
The one with a thousand laughs.
(Sounds like a nickname for a mysterious character, pretty cool.)
Like, I thought that everyone had a different laugh for each occasion, it depends on the humor. But based on my friends' reactions, I think this isn't as common as I thought.
So how do you laugh? Can you reproduce the sound of your own laughter in writing? Because I always have a hard time with that.
Even random hits on the keyboard still don't seem to express it right. Like, the perfect onomatopoeia to describe what I'm feeling without being so limited.
Described by my friends, I have:
"A laugh from a leaky gas cylinder" ,"cat hissing laugh",or, "the sound the Minecraft Creeper makes before it explodes" as my cousins call it;
"Piglet snoring" (it was ONLY ONCE in public, and it was scarred for the rest of my life);
"Falling over laughing" (because my knees weaken and I slowly fall until I sit or lie down on the floor, still laughing. Depending on whether I try to hold on to something, or lean on someone, that option has a greater chance of disaster. )
"Mocking laughter"( I admit that sometimes, it's a not very friendly laugh, because I don't like what's happening at all, and I'm just laughing at the absurdity of it.)
"Flirtatious laugh" (They say that when I see a pretty person, I look silly and blush. And to avoid this, I look away and start laughing, what do you want me to do? An ugly face?!)
And as far as I know, these are all I can remember. And only the ones I want to admit I have.
After this very creative list of names, I also wonder: do you name your laughs?
