Say, in - way, verb+myself

when you see a paragraph or something on a chalkboard
and you want to know what it says,
can i say "what does it read?"
I am not certain of how read and say differ.

when someone call you by a stupid word, and you don't like it,
can you say,"i didn't like what it said" ??



in a case where my teacher thinks less of me and i want to suprise her by good test results and make her feel ashamed for what she had thought of me,
is it alright to say " I wanted to suprise her in a negative way." what about " i wanted to surprise her to(into) a sense of humiliation.
i used "to" here for indicating the result of her state.

I laughed myself the head out
when i want to say i laughed a lot and emphasize it, is it right usage?

Let me know what is the correct ways to say in those 3 cases.
Thanks for the help, in advance.Emotion: smile
