I don't know what it is about the world today, but I have found that people don't really know how to act around me sometimes.  I took a social dance class last semester and I always got the weirdest looks.  It wasn't because I was dressed funny (well, at least I hope not) but it was because I was smiling and laughing.  I would have guys ask me all the time why I was laughing or smiling.  I idn't quite know how to answer because I didn't really think you needed a reason.  I also recently started a job at a pretzel/custard place.  While I was working one night, this group of people (specifically one guy in that group) asked if I knew any of them because I was just standing there smiling.  I hadn't seen any of them before, I was just waiting for them to order.  He said that I was the happiest person he had ever seen.  I was kind of embarassed and told him that that's just how my face is!  He said it was refreshing to meet someone who actually looks happy while they're at work.  The more I think about it, the more sad it makes me that people are surprised to find someone that is happy when they aren't around their normal friends.  I think we should all make more of an effort to smile and laugh and just be happy.  I'm not saying that I'm perfect at it, because I'm far from it.  Wouldn't it be such a better place here if we all looked out for each other and tried to just have fun with those that we are with, instead of wishing we were somewhere else?  I think we need to just live in the moment and enjoy every minute of it.
