The May 3, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum" is What's the one habit you'd change about yourself, if you could simply flick a switch and have it happen? At this moment in time, I don't want to change anything about myself. Of course, I'm in a bitchy, grumbly, and grumpy mood. I don't want to deal with other human beings; all though, if someone does come to the door, I can put on a phony smile and act like I'm a human being instead of an unhappy troll. The truth is that I would rather clap my hands or shout on or off the flip a switch. If I could do anything to change my mood or anything about me it would be to shout a word and the change would occur in the blink of an eye, without anyone around me (if their still around me after I start shouting) being the wiser. Chance, transformation, I am in the process of becoming my true self; and in that process my mood sometimes moves in the opposite direction. I know that if I wait long enough or say enough prayers that my mood will start to swing in the right direction; instead of being negative my mood will become positive and instead of having a phony smile I will have a genuine smile. The May 3, 2013 Funny Friday prompt for "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" is Write the story of being tricked by someone you trusted. How did it make you feel in that moment and are you able to laugh about it now? I have trust issues; therefore, it isn't a good idea for anyone who I trust to trick me or attempt to trick me. I don't laugh easily when I find out I've been tricked. It takes me a long time to see the humor in the trick. There are incidents of this type from my childhood that I'm still don't find funny. I'm not saying I'll always feel this way, perhaps if I live to be 100 and realize that I've outlived the tricky bastards then I'll laugh, but until then I'm not laughing or writing very much about those tricks; at least, not on Funny Friday. I'm not in humorous mood today, I don't see anything funny coming my way; I don't want to sit and cry, I don't want to sit and laugh, Maybe I could sit and sigh.
