i'm only funny when i make fun of people

you know those people who are really easy to talk to because they always have something interesting or funny to say or a good story to tell. i wish i were one of those people. whenever i try to tell a story it's something like..last night, i fed my dog! and he ate so fast that he needed to stop for a second because he would have choked! haha! and i get the old,"why in the world did he just tell me that" look. i'm not much better at telling jokes, if i remember the joke, i'll give a big grin right as the punchline's coming or else i'll forget something important at the beginning or halfway through so even if i do finish people are like "whaaahh???". i think it all comes down to the fact that i don't have very good short term memory.. i find it hard to retain things in my head unless i hear them over and over or do them again and again. this isn't really a cry for sympathy or anything just something i've noticed about myself. so if anyone has some interesting facts or good jokes, feel free to comment with them so i can read them over and over and remember, and then forget where i heard them and tell them to you in person. and so..the awkwardness continues..
