Day 15: June 29

Am I single because I refuse to laugh at puns?

Day 14: June 28

I learned to be a strong independent woman from Lola Rabbit... I mean like also the women in my family but no one calls me doll.

Day 13: June 27

I will always swipe left on Tinder when I see a dude in looking like he's having fun in cold weather.

Day 12: June 26

Today I said TO MYSELF 'So that's the plan, Master Flex. Break'
Then went into the grocery store.
Who is Master Flex? Why does he/she need to know my grocery store plan? WHY AM I CONFESSING ANY OF THIS?

This was a cheating post. From yesterday. I was at 6 flags today and I remember nothing cus of tired.

 

Day 11: June 25

I saw a comedy Q&A panel with Jason Mantzoukas and Seth Mooris and I took notes and cried.

Day 10: July 24

The joke is truly on me.

Day 9: July 23

You make one comment about how you empathize with the antagonist from Jack and the Beanstalk and suddenly The government has you on a list.

But seriously folks I have no idea what I did to be called a 'Giants Fan'.

Day 8: July 22

Improv 301 class number 3.

As with so many things I have been running into the problem of unwillingness to commit. Go all in.
Because that truly requires so much of me. Then what if I commit and hate it after a month? A month wasted! But the thing is it won't have been wasted. It will be time spent not wondering if this is what I want.

Day 7: July 21

One of the first people I met and hung out with in Los Angeles convinced me that I had plenty of room to park my car. We still count it as a win.

Day 6: July 20

Saw a lot of comedy tonight. Franklin UCB at 8 for Harold night, where I got myself a comp ticket to a show saturday night for telling them about the time I cried on an airplane. Then headed over to Sunset UCB to watch my wonderful friends Erin and Melissa do their musical comedy act.

I realized that watching these Harolds is actually helping me and I definitely need to see more of them.

Day 5: July 19

Well do you?

Day 4: July 18

My plans for the night?
1. Finish Season 2 of Bojack Horseman.
2. Sit in the emptiness known only by those who binge watch television.

Day 3: July 17

I am fairy certain that I could sue Apple over the traumatic stress those typing bubbles have caused.

Day 2: July 16

Saw some awesome standup AND my new favorite musical improv team: Magic to do.

#boringpost #wastootired

Day 1(You're going to be confused if you're just now reading): July 16

I was a guest on a podcast for the first time today. SO MUCH FUN. The most fun. I think it was the first time I was in a group of funny people where I wasn't incredibly self conscious about everything I said. I can't wait to do it again.

Day 100: July 14

I watched Jurassic World. Mostly loved it but was incredibly distracted by the fact that Chris Pratt poured gasoline over himself at the beginning of the movie and then NEVER CHANGED HIS CLOTHES. He and Claire would have passed out from the fumes long before they lived to save everybody. 



Side Note:
I messed up. I should have just started on day one and then gone at my own pace and not worried about looking like I was keeping up with everyone. STUPID. 

So tomorrow will be Day 1 and then I will have 24 days after that. I gotta admit I was really sad to type out that 'Day 100.' I don't want it to be over. I feel like I have really become funnier through this project. I've learned what I think about funny and what makes me laugh. 

24 more days, everybody. 

Is there anyone out there who has been quietly stalking this blog for the past 75 days? Or are all those views from people searching the random labels I put on the side?

Day 99: July 13

Dating in Los Angeles: The Early Years

And no I was not previously married. I made a joke about being married hoping he'd take a hint and back it up. Then he just went full court press.

Day 98: July 12

I'm watching Bitten on netflix. It's not funny. I shouldn't be watching it. I should be sleeping because I have to get up early(ish) to celebrate my friend's birthday. It's a garbage show. Why do I watch garbage shows? I watched all of Dawson's Creek you guys. And then I went back and just watched the Pacey and Joey scenes. I'm sick.

Day 97: July 11

Too many things today. I sat down to get work done when my friend sent out a drunken group text full of some of my favorites and hilarity ensued. I saw a great dance show at UCB. I hung out with a new friend who made me laugh harder than I have since the last time I hung out with Josh Flowers.
OH and some dude came up behind me and tickled my ear when I was sitting at UCB. When I turned to see who it was and realized it was a stranger I laughed really hard. He thought I was someone else.

Jesus, thank you for comedy. And for chocolate. AND for self sticks.

Day 96: July 10

If when making me, God had said, 

"You are going to be a comedian no matter what. I will, however, give you a choice between being a goofy looking white dude whose main problem will be figuring out how many times you can make a noncommittal noise before they stop laughing. OR you can be an adorable little girl with no problem finding dates on tinder but will ultimately have to work much harder to figure out what her type of funny really is while staying out of her head, dodging dick jokes, AND being torn between flattered and outraged whenever someone says ‘it’s okay because you’re pretty.’”

 I honestly don't know what I'd choose.

Day 95: July 9

Welcome to ‪#‎AWeekOfGrace‬.

Tonight Grace has not yet come home to tell me if my top matches my new jacket so I can't leave the apartment.

Day 94: July 8

Someone looked at my outfit and said "Casual. Love it." Exactly that.
What I heard was "You wore that to the public places?"

Day 93: July 7

Nothin funny today except my lack of self respect. And a story that I won't be able to tell for another three years.

Day 92: July 6

John Corrigan

Day 91: July 5

I hand my id to the bouncer.

He looks at it a little longer than usual and makes a funny face.

"Something wrong?"

"Huh? Oh. No. You just live close to me."

Cool, man. So... Did you just, like, take a moment to memorize the address?

Day 90: July 4

I'm tired. What a great time to start working out some issues.

As I've said before I generally tell a story from its funniest angle. Looking to make the listener laugh. I've discovered that this is something I also do with my emotions. If I am slightly dismayed over a boy I will crank it up to 11 in order to be the most entertaining me I can be. 

Being entertaining is great but what is this doing to me ultimately? What negative side effects am I experiencing by always needing to be 'on'?

Always seeking the laughter of others to boost my self confidence?

What parts of this are unhealthy? What parts of this are absolutely wonderful and necessary to being me?

I am one tired little otter. I tend to be all reflective in this state. Like a drunken Socrates. Does that make sense? Did anyone this make sense? Have you figured out how To balance this need for approval with the fact that this is just how you were designed to be most alive?

Day 89: July 3

Just conquering auto correct with my immaculate wit. 

Day 88: July 2

It is a funny video but also a serious question.

It's a nonsense word.

Day 87: July 1

Today I laughed and told jokes about things that I won't be posting to a public forum. 

Childhood traumas that are effecting my adult life. So the question becomes was the laughter healthy? Or was the laughter a way to avoid dealing? Will these questions get answered or will I avoid dealing with the fact that I might be avoiding dealing?

Day 86: June 30

I never knew how much I wanted to know that I'm funny until people started telling me I am funny.

Starting this project was unnerving. I didn't think I would have enough ideas to keep it up. But it's been the opposite. Once I started writing things down more things started lining up to be let out.
