I like this song now… anyway… Selena is a tomboy and always has been. She’s never really been friends with any girls, except for Demi. She plays soccer, gets really good grades, and secretly, she can sing. 
She’s wierd and quirky, and doesn’t fit in with any except for Nick, Demi, and Joe. She’s the perfect best friend. She knows how to make people laugh when they wanna cry. and comforts them when they need to be comforted. Her dad left her and her mom when she was a baby; and ever since her mom got her heart broken a few years ago, she’s drowned herself in work, and is HARDLY ever home. She’s in love with Nick. But she thinks, he sees her a ‘one of the boys’ (hints the song!). She’s tries not to be emotional, and knows how to stick up for herself and others around her. Throughout the series, she is going to get a little more girly, and dress a little different, but no too much. Othan than that, she really won’t change.

Laughter is contagious and good humor is easily passed on to other people around you. Basically, it feels good to feel good, and laughter is the key to changing your mood and spirit. Of course you can’t always be in a good mood. Some people and situations are so annoying that it’s almost impossible to stay pleasant and friendly. However, those people who find laughter in everyday life are using humor as a healthy form of therapy.
There is a whole new field of therapeutic laughter where humor is used to treat chronic pain associated with cancers, arthritis, depression, and anxiety. Many doctors and therapists prescribe to their patients a daily dose of jokes, comedies, games, light-hearted movies or anything that causes a hearty belly laugh or at least a few good chuckles.
Research is showing that by watching a 15-30 minute segment of a funny sit-com or movie, you can increase blood flow to the heart and reduce the strain and stress put on it. Even the anticipation of laughter has benefits by lowering stress hormones and increasing your natural pain defenses. Just 10 minutes of good hearty laughter can keep you pain free for hours.
I recommend watching reruns of MASH, Seinfeld, the Cosby Show, Two and a Half Men and Scrubs for a guaranteed daily dose of laughter. Jay Leno’s Headlines are always good for a jolly belly laugh and old–time comedians like Carl Reiner, Sid Caesar, Mel Brooks, etc can be just what the doctor ordered.
Encouraging others to laugh will help you maintain your sense of humor and develop it into a daily habit. Not only will you learn to appreciate the lighter side of life, but you will also live longer, since laughter is associated with boosting immune cell activity and reducing the high levels of stress hormones linked to certain diseases.
Laughing makes you feel better and it’s a lot of fun. When you see people laughing, you can’t help but join in to share in their merriment. Laughter is contagious. Don’t just catch it. Be the carrier!
