I have been told that I possess a quality known as humour.

I have been further informed that said humour is of the dry variety.

My question, naturally, is this - wtf is wet humour????

***

Ok no, that was not actually my question. 

I want to know where funny people get their humor from, how their brains work to make them so funny.

I don't think I am funny myself. I live in constant fear of people not getting my snarky references, that is the extent of it.

Being humorous requires a certain degree of creativity and lightning sharp neurological reflexes.

It fascinates me how some people can tell jokes that absolutely floor me. I really admire funny people!

I was not a person who was interested in telling jokes when I was younger. Not until I met J and loved her for her hilarious antics. 

Everybody loved her. I idolized her so much I began copying her sense of humor because I was such a loser with no identity back then huhuhu.

Once that started it never stopped. I did get better at it over the years, but sometimes when I say certain things a certain way I get reminded of J. 

"J probably would say this. It would be hilarious. I wonder if she's still as funny and cool now."

So even today, you are just witnessing my J impersonation. 

Which is okay, we are allowed to try to emulate our idols, right? 

Even though J later turned into that bully I always talk about, I still really admire her sense of humor.

So if you asked me where my humor came from, I'd tell you that sometimes I think, "What will J say in this situation?"

She's part of my identity.

Are we all made out of parts of everyone we meet in our lives? Or is it just me because I am a losercopycat?
