Stalk the LOLz: Reporter at Large

I'm behind enemy lines as I type this. Behind enemy lines as in I'm eavesdropping on the "enemy" and attempting to derive what exactly is it that is making them laugh.

It's a bright Monday afternoon, and I'm currently seated outside 1873, training my ears and averting my eyes on the two conversations happening around me. Unfortunately, I'm a highly distractible person, and the two conversations are kind of bleeding into each other, and there's a guy with a leaf blower so that really isn't helping my case.

WAIT
There is was. The first chuckle. It's from my conversation to my left, which consists of a guy and a girl seated across from each other in the shade, discussing something that I haven't quite figured out yet. But, the first laugh came from the guy saying "I wish it was an April fools..." and the girl erupted into a brief burst of chuckles. I suppose she laughed here to either lighten the mood from the bomb he just dropped on her (linguistically speaking of course) or she actually thought his connection to the days date was humorous. Either way, it was a brief chuckle. I digress.

So, ironically enough, I turn around and the other conversation that I am currently stalking is in fact Mackie talking to her conversation partner, and they just laughed because we both realized that we were doing our assignments. She and her partner shared a laugh about the fact that so many people just entered into their conversation and interrupted it. Oh the irony.

Back to the other conversation... it's sort of dying down. I think it might be a more serious conversation, which makes this a bit awkward. Hopefully some pity laughs will enter in that I can blog about.

Nothing... la de dah... also I'm currently turning toward this couple which makes me a bit less incognito....

But I think people throw laughter into their conversations when they
A. Feel like they need to change the pace of the conversation
B. Don't have anything else to say
C. Share a joke

Unfortunately I'm not that good at being behind enemy lines. So I don't know what that says about me... I guess no future in espionage.

Dang.
