I did it.

I just re read every post in this blog. It was kind of like watching my heart learn to beat. But I was also listening to Ed Sheeran while I read it so I may have been setting the mood a little bit.

It seems silly but this project has changed my life. I am really proud of myself for sticking with it. So if you're actually reading this I hope you're laughing and getting inspired. 


And just because I am genuinely obsessed with the new snap back hat I won at six flags here is one last post pulled from my instagram.



It's official. You can have this snap back when you pry it from my cold lifeless fingers.
Also, the Bat symbol is on the front so now I'm a Batman 'ride or die'.

Day 66: June 10

Somehow this didn't get published back in June like it was supposed to and I hate my life!


I GOT MY UCB INTERNSHIP ASSIGNMENT!
I am going to see every show ever and will soon be the funniest person you know.

Day 22: August 5

Today someone told me I look like I could be on television and instead of saying 'thank you' I said 'words of affirmation isn't my love language.'

Day 21: August 4


There's a typo but I'm still laughing at my own joke.

Day 20: August 3


I saw this last night.
Seeing shows like this always make me ask myself this question:
'If I never get anywhere in comedy would I want to be in this city where it's in my face every single day? Or would I want to go home and bury my head in the bluegrass and pretend it doesn't exist?'

A month ago the answer might have been a 50/50. Now there's no contest. If I can't do comedy I'll have to watch it. If I can't watch it, I'll die. 

Day 19: August 2

Watched all of 'Wet Hot American Summer' with a group of friends. Really making me look at this physical comedy thing. I wish it made me laugh more. I don't super enjoy it pure physical comedy.

Day 18: August 1

Went to a comedy panel at UCB Sunset with Hot Sauce(Adam Palley, Ben Schwartz, Gil Ozeri). An improv team that has two of my favorite comedians on it plus a guy that I had not heard of but I now consider one of my heroes.

Ben Schwartz said "You have to be obsessed with it." (Comedy) Which made me think "Am I obsessed?"
I started this blog. I took off work to go to the panel last week. I cancelled rehearsal to go to this panel. I'm a WSS at UCB. Something that has never made me feel like I'm giving up my tuesday night for nothing. I am constantly trying to get people to go to shows with me.

But I'm not performing. 

I don't have a team. But I started a practice group. Maybe it's no longer a matter of wether or not I'm obsessed. Now what I need to do is give myself permission to be obsessed.
