^ I'm exactly the same way. I laugh at whatever is absurd and laugh a lot. I think life's just way too short to not be happy and laugh. Back in high school, a "friend" of mine actually chewed me out for being--get this--too happy.
It is a little confusing. Lemme see if I can come up with an example. Let's say me and my writing partner are writing a short comic script. And then there's a line of dialogue a character has to say but we can't agree on the wording of it. I'll say it one way and he'll say it another way. We're both taking things seriously. But as soon as the smiles disappear off our faces and we start arguing about it, we're taking it too seriously. Usually though, we're able to laugh about how we're arguing over one line of dialogue.
Fortunately, we haven't had an argument yet, but I hope you get my point.
