Being Chanandeler Bong...

You know what I mean...
It's like when you become aware of your voice while singing...
You know the song perfectly well...you've been singing it for years now... people have praised you n all... it's just your best!
But the moment you realize that the you are the one controlling those vibrations coming out of your throat...
...you seem to lose all control!

It's the same when you know that being funny is your thing! Of course it is! You know you can crack ANYONE up! All your testimonials say how 'fun' you are 'to be with'!!!
And then...comes this guy... He's perfect! It's like you created him yourself! Well...when someone is nice to you it's only good manners to be nice in return! And when someone is so damn charming...you obviously want to be the loveliest person on earth!! (Just good manners!)

Those bells in you heads start ringing... 'Hah! Easy! You know what to do... Just throw in some charm...some sarcasm...some innocence... some wit...some flirting...and BAM!!
You-are-hillarious!!! It's your thing after all!'

So...someone introduces you...
He says, 'Hi!'
You say, 'Hey'
He smiles...
You smile....
'How are you?', he asks.

(How...Are...You???
What do you mean how am i? I'm funny you idiot!
But I can't say that!!! D'uh!!
Wait... I'll show you instead!)








......only... there's nothing to show...!


Nope! There isn't a single witty reply to 'How are you'!
What are the odds?!
(and why do moments of realization come at such difficult times??)



....okay... That's not the end of world... you could always answer with a 'fine!'
...naah... that'd be too obvious!
'Good!'....is too vanilla!
'Great!'.... ah! you don't wanna tell a lie for your first answer!
And great is certainly not how i feel!
I feel miserable ...that's how I feel!


Wait!!!!...so... now I don't have an answer AT ALL???
That can't be true!!
'How are you' is like the easiest question EVER!!!
And you can't pass on this one!!!
Quick! Quick!! Quick!!! QUICK!!!!!
You cannot take that long!!
Just say the first thing that comes to your mind...!!!

well....?????

... "I don't like how straight my hair is..."

Great!!!
See? That is exactly why your parents tell you not to talk to strangers!!!

Now I've lost the guy forever!
I FEEl stupid!!!
And 'being funny' isn't my thing anymore...
Not KNOWING how to be funny is my new thing!!!

God!
No wonder chandler said, 'Gum would be perfection!'

Hey.... I cant believe there aren't any comments!!!

Amazing work...Since we've not interacted much... i never imagined u could be funny ( there "kind words" again..lol)... The BONG was genuinely funny... made me wonder who the unfortunate guy was... and if u really answered ( that is if u did...) what u said u did ... well, the less said the better...

Amazing how the tongue does an amazing impersonation of a perfectly tied bow at times.

Well keep rocking... and spewing out spiel for us to read....(i'm seriously far too "Kind" i must say)

ciao.
