pressure to be funny

so i'm a facebook junkie. i have no shame in saying it...lately though, people have been posting "25 random things" about themselves. for the most part, people's posts have been funny (to the point where i laugh out loud....which doesn't take much, but still) and super thoughtful. now, i have been wanting to do it because again i love being relational and getting to know others and would love for others to get to know me...but there is WAY too much pressure to be witty, funny, thoughtful, not too cheesy...i do realize that i am doing this to myself but others will read it and i don't want it to be lame.
my good friend sarah has read it and already told me she was laughing while reading it. sarah also is the sweetest person you'll ever meet...thanks for laughing sarah. makes me feel good.
anyways, here is the actual post:

Once you've been tagged, you have to write a note with 25 random things, shortcomings, facts, habits or goals about yourself. At the end, choose at least 15 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you.
