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. 

This is a link to how to start your own '100 Days Project.' I highly recommend it. 

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. 

Day 17: June 31

Went to 'Show and Tell' tonight. I was briefly in one of the sketches that was a ton of fun to film.

Day 16: June 30

Funny is the new Ryan Gosling.

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?
