From wikiHow, How to Be a Fun Person to Be Around,

5. Laugh at yourself. And no, this doesn't mean laugh at a joke you made when no one else is laughing, it means take yourself less seriously and loosen up. If you laugh when you mess up, it lightens up the crowd.

From wikiHow, How to Be Energetic and Fun Loving,

People bursting with energy have three things in common: they deeply honor and respect themselves; they completely accept themselves for who they are and don't take themselves too seriously, and they see challenges as opportunities to be creative. They switch their negative thoughts as rapidly as they switch channels on their TVs with their remotes. Because they see life as a game to play and enjoy, they radiate good health. They are fun to be around, because they love and accept you for who you are.

From MSNBC Live Q and A,

Being able to insert some fun even into something serious is what as known as 'serious fun'. See you have 2 kinds of fun. Just 'fun', which is just letting lose and having fun without a care. Then there's 'serious fun', which is being able to see the light side of even a serious subject which can be helpful when people are taking you too seriously and you need to add some 'shock value'. That's the fun part! ;-)

P.S. Any one notice my problem? I am not original. When I hit a problem or a question, I research then formulate an opinion. I can't seem to come up with something original or interesting on my own :( Anyhoo...I am still pondering...
