It's kind of a wierd thing to hold back on but I always save my best jokes for the person I'm seeing or interested in. It's something which dawned on me today as I chatted with someone I used to care about very deeply. He was checking in because he hadn't heard from me in a while and missed me. He's a good guy but it turned out he was already in a long-term committed relationship.(something I found out a bit late about.) We used to be so close. The closest. Not to say my jokes were any good, but I know that's probably what he misses most of all. The way we used to laugh. I know it's what I miss most. Oh, there was a bit of jovial banter and all thatbut not the same.

That call really tugged at my heartstrings. It made me realize that although I love a good bit of jolliness with friends, I can only give that sort of focused attention to one person, only want to give it to one person. In a way, I'm a humor monogamist.

You have to be thick skinned to run, no doubt about it. I'm really thin skinned usually, so I'd never make it. Either that, or I'd do something stupid like call the press "a bunch of assholes" when they criticized me. wink
