I thought the Universe would have a hard time twisting it into something that I'd regret.
I underestimated you, Universe. (A mistake I'll not make again.)
This is what happened:
I am kind of revising more than one piece right now (I promise to NOT mention revision at ALL in my next post) and a comment I received was that a particular part of a particular book needs to be funnier. That's right. FUNNIER. As in MORE HILARIOUS.
Seriously?
Not 5 days after I decide I need to laugh more, the Universe is telling me that I'm just not funny enough.
Oh, you cruel Guardian of the Giggle.
Universe, you win this round.
However, I am not defeated! I will rise up and....aaaauuuugggghhhh!! SPLAT!!!
Er...um...just slipped on a banana peel.
(Yeah, I know. Lame-o.)

Very interesting. That darn universe can be so clever sometimes.
Bring on the funny, Shelley! I know you can do it!
Dang that universe!
You totally called that before the universe did.
You: 1
Universe: 0
Better luck next time, Universe.
hee-hee, you're making me laugh, and you're so good at that, I know this is just a friendly nudge from the Uni.
Ha ha ha! I think you're pretty darned funny! :-)
But you are funny! Enjoyed the post. Pour yourself a glass of humor, sit back and relax. You've got this one covered.
Ha,ha! You are plenty funny to me, Shelley!
Well, you make me laugh all the time, so I think you'll rise to the occasion.
What a great resolution. To laugh more. I love that one. I'm adopting it. :)
Ha! Ha! Well, you've got ME laughing. And, laughing is contagious.
So ... resolution accomplished. Yes?
Great to see you again! I've missed my bloggers!!

Matthew-I feel like I'm in a comic book....StoryQueen vs. The Universe. (The Universe usually wins, I think.)
Kelly-But you know hoe when you try too hard to be funny and you just kind of....aren't? That's what I fear.
Susan-Word.
Lindsey-Well, I might have called it early, but am not feeling so victorious.
Tricia-Yeah, a friendly nudge...with a boot, in the bum.
Shannon-Thanks....Universe begs to differ, I fear.
Kathi-A glass of humor....? I WANT ONE!
Corey-Thank you...hoping I can pull something out....
Jessie-Oh, if only you were a 10 year old boy (target audience of story....)
Laura-Be careful...Universe has a warped sense of humor.
SF-I have missed you, too! Welcome back!
Well, maybe the universe is just wrong this time. It can happen!
You can do it Shelley!!!! I know you can...You are the Queen of Funny!
