Inaugural Blog

This inaugural post is brought to you by the letter H for "hooray" and the letter P for "Procrastination"! Hooray for Procrastination!!

In an effort to help you get to know me better, I've compiled a list of things I like and dislike - other than the one in my description section:

Likes:
  • frogs

  • coffee
  • paper
  • napping
  • shenanigans (not the restaurant)
  • music (I'm sure I'll expound on this later)
  • high places
  • clean counters
  • the feeling of clean sheets against a freshly washed body (preferably my own)
  • ranch dressing
Dislikes:
  • emo kids
  • wearing shoes
  • being awake
  • freezer burn

Now that you have a better understanding of who I am, I'm going to explain to you why exactly I started this blog:

Life is full of letdowns and douchebags. I'm here to lighten to mood a bit by rambling about my endeavor of becoming a standup comedienne. For years (since 7th grade), I've wanted to be something. A real somebody. And up until a few months ago (September), I was just a little girl in a big world with nothing to do but pick the fuzz of off my sweater and dream of something bigger. Well, my friends, the day finally came one Monday evening in September of the year 20 aught 6 at a little place I like to call the ACME Comedy Club. Sure, I had no experience doing comedy and yeah, I was a puny little thing with about 3 jokes to tell, but I got up there Goddamnit and I did my best. And I kept getting on and I kept writing jokes and I kept makin' 'em laugh. Today, I stand before you a weathered woman of confidence who's had good sets and bad sets but has always had a set. Tomorrow, I may stand before you defeated and embarrassed but I'll be standing, by God I'll be standing...


And now for some entertainment - watch and learn, ladies and gentlemen, watch and learn:
