I Want Serious Answers To Serious Questions
Comedy-oriented people vs serious-oriented people. I'm starting to think of it almost like introverts and extroverts. From the comedy-oriented perspective, serious stuff is boring and often pointless, and if they spent too much time with it then their heads would explode, whereas funny stuff charges them up (I've had very comedy-oriented people tell me that I need to lighten up or I'll get a hernia). But from the serious-oriented perspective, funny stuff is boring and often pointless, and if we spend too much time with it then... I guess our metaphorical heads wouldn't explode, but we'd be bored as hell, and completely unstimulated.
Being a serious person in a comedy oriented world feels like being an introvert in an extrovert's world (which I also am) - comedy oriented people don't understand that for me, serious stuff doesn't stress me out toward the point of getting a hernia - it stimulates me - and funny stuff, although enjoyable sometimes, gets boring quickly and just doesn't do it for me.
