Despite my friends having told me for several years now, I realized only recently that my laugh is ridiculously loud.
Several days ago, I was eating breakfast with Pyunny & Monkey. Usually I do not wake up in time for “the most important meal of the day”, but lately my sleeping schedule had been off: going to sleep at 11am and waking up at 8pm. Finals cause the weakest of us to harness our powers to do incredible things. But that’s a different story.
Anyways, we decided to start our day at Ann’s Kitchen. Somebody said something funny and I burst out laughing. As I was laughing mildly (or so I thought), I noticed people were turning their heads towards me. Their blank stares rubbed off on me and I sensed a bit of frigidity.
Maybe these people just were not morning people. Maybe the sound of somebody’s full laughter was too much for them at the early hour. But no, I highly doubt this is the case. When I think back to moments when I am out in public, people will often turn and stare at me when I decide to laugh my head off.
My friends have used words such as “pompous” and “boisterous” to describe my laughter. If those words weren’t descriptive enough, they’d go ahead and try to imitate my laughter (but usually females for some odd reason). Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with my friends trying to describe my laughter. It’s just that their descriptions of my laughter worry me. Do I really sound arrogant when I laugh? Do I sound fake when I laugh? I think (or I hope) my friends realize that’s just how I laugh. But I wonder what other people think.
I’ve typed the word “laugh” so often that the spelling looks very strange now.
