'Kill'joy

Today was scary. I was hanging out with my friends, and we were just being generally silly as always. But somewhere along the line, I just started laughing nonstop. I have a variety of laughs, but my friend said that this one sounded like Harlequin - the Joker's female assistant. After he said that, it was like I was permanently switched to laugh. I actually could not stop laughing for A WHOLE HOUR. I stopped laughing for maybe two minutes as I was coming down from my laughing fit, but just the stupidest thing would set me off again.

At one point my friends weren't even talking anymore and I was flipping through my friend's sketchbook, and I was still snickering under my breath. And later on, I thought I was finally done laughing, but I just looked at something and it started up again. I tried sitting by myself, blocking out the sounds around me, looking straight at the ceiling, but it wasn't until I my mom called and I had to talk to her that I was able to FINALLY stop laughing.

The whole experience was scary. I remembered a story where a guy had actually kept laughing for over 24 hours - he just couldn't stop - and he died. The whole time, I kept thinking "am I still breathing, is my heartbeat okay, when will this stop?" My head, my teeth, my cheeks, my ears, and my sides hurt after that, and on the bus ride home, I felt so drained and a little shaken up. I just felt like I wasn't even there anymore. Luckily I had at least one friend by my side at all times until I made it home, but still, it was very creepy.

I have come to the conclusion that I was either possessed by Harlequin, or I got high after eating at Subway. Since my friend was acting weirder after we both ate at Subway, I would say the second part is a possibility but both are still unlikely.

And that is just the weirdest part of my day, any other details have been clouded by my laughing fit.
