#60: Fun People = Fun Times

One of the best ways to enjoy life is to have fun. What's one of the easiest ways to have fun? By surrounding yourself with fun people!

The Idea: Surround yourself with fun people. (It'll be a lot easier if you're a fun person to be around yourself, trust me.) How do you find these fun people, you ask? Simple. Just look for people who:
*Have good appetites. There is so much enjoyment in food, that you can't help but have a good time around someone who loves to eat.
*Are good storytellers. Anyone who can tell a good story can capture your attention (and imagination) for a long time.
*Have an offbeat sense of humor. Sarcasm and self-deprecation are big pluses, in my opinion. How can you not have fun around someone funny?
*Have interesting jobs. How many astronauts or skyscraper window washers do you know? I thought so.
*Make brave choices. Anyone who doesn't mind straying from the pack and standing up for what s/he believes in will always have your back, and probably knows a thing or two about going against the grain to have fun.

The Cost: Taking some time to meet a few good people.

The Benefit: Hanging out with fun people will increase your enjoyment of life.
