Filling up time

I keep writing about Emo crap and people's perceptions and I have been working through a real dismantling of my psyche lately. What have I decided to do about it, you might ask, and I will tell you:

I am going to go in to comedy.

I know, insane, but I needed a hobby. I have started working on a bit of stand up. There are kinks, sure, but I am looking forward to having something to do in my ever-increasing age.

Originally I was just going to write bits, practice them, then record them for YouTube, but Val is not having that. She wants me to get up on stage and get booed, so that I can have the full experience. That is what a best friend is for, you know?

My favorite part about all of this is that I don't have to worry about being famous or anything. Even if all I ever do is a couple open mics a month, I will be happy. I don't need the money, or the fame, or the personal gratification. It is going to be a hobby, like magic tricks or crochet or palm reading. Yep, I am equipped with a talent for taking on the most useless skills ever. Score.

Sarah - I will definately let you know when I am feeling up to braving it. I am actively working on the kinks in the routine, now, so it shouldn't be too long before I get my public humiliation. What better way to celebrate than to have all of my friends there to fake laugh for me while strangers boo me. Sweet!
