Roasts and Burritos

Going to write this down while I can still capture the excitement. I took part in and won a roast battle last Wednesday. Probably top ten moments of my life especially the part where the crowd was laughing and cheering so loud after my comeback that I couldn't say my next diss. Not exaggerating one bit when I say I have wanted to do a Roast battle ever since I was 11. God. My opponent was super nice though and we got each others letterboxd after the battle. I was so psyched for this, I was shaking before our turn and was convinced I would keel over and faint on the stage. Pretty sure I look horrendous on tape, but it went better than I expected. Not bragging but I was the only Roaster who got all the judges vote unanimously. 

Okay I am done but wow. What a night. Isn't life beautiful?

Well. Not entirely... not bragging, I am still poor.

And I don't know what comes next. 

This month was relatively hectic, I booked 6 shows which isn't that much but it's more than I have ever done. After one of the shows earlier this month, we watched the c*ps tackle and arrest a man behind our car around 10pm in Santa Monica Blvd. Doesn't get more LA than that. I was high key freaking out but we got a recording just in case the c*ps did something crazy. I was also tagged in a professional picture of myself after another show and I looked so bad it sent me into a spiral. 

I was also finishing up my final draft for an article that will be coming out next week, I am kinda excited even though it's not my strongest pieces of work - nor is it the strongest in the issue coming out, I saw glimpses of what the other writers have submitted and my gosh, it completely blew me away. I can't believe I am lucky enough to be featured in the same issue as them, part of me is waiting for one of the editors to send a personal DM the night before it comes out and let me know they pulled my piece out cos it sucks. Like it's genuinely not good. 

In other news, I am slightly conversational in Japanese now, and I am working on a short film with a friend that I have no idea how it will turn out. The writing process and creative discussions have been incredibly fun though, it reminded me why I loved this in the first place. Manifesting getting hired for Mike White's next season. Yahweh, Jesus, Allah, Vishnu..... if you're listening. Or even maybe Atlanta and Abbott Elementary... those sound fun. 

My current food obsession is burritos. I can't stop watching mukbangs of people eating massive burritos and although I am gluten and lactose intolerant, I am usually eating a ($2, thank you Taco Bell) burrito along with them... while I apprehensively watch my bank balance dwindle. My current book obsession is Circe by Madeleine Miller. My gosh. I'm so upset I didn't read this before, it's beautiful, it's honest it's magical and it would've changed my life if I read it when it came out when I was 19. But I think somethings you need to figure out on your own and I am glad of all I have learnt by 26. Especially my healthy cynicism regarding men. Still have to finish it though. Apart from Circe I read like 50 different research articles the past month while trying to write my article - I wonder if I can log those in my Goodreads account. 



PICTURES!

God if you're listening please make me richer by 200k next time I blog (all clean hard earned money through my work and nothing sketchy) and full financially independent please. Also, maybe an Oh one v*sa so I can finally leave college and be FREE. 

Until next time xx

fries lots of fries and IM SO HAPPY

Had one of the best nights in a while last night.  I took part in a comedy contest and before the contest I was NOT excited. This is a contest where people vote for the performers and the ones with the highest votes get prizes. I hadn't invited anyone so I wasn't expecting anyone to vote for me because people usually vote for their friends or family. Or so I thought.  I remember eating animal style fries with no cheese before the show and feeling very grateful for In-n-Out. ($2.59 in this economy can you believe it?) Then I bumped into a friend right outside the comedy club unexpectedly as he was leaving the place. It was so exciting because we'd just seen each other the day before at an open mic. When I told him I was dreading the show, he told me he knew someone who won even though they didn't invite anyone, but I brushed it off and went into the club not expecting anything. Like an hour in I kind of stopped caring about the contest because I was starting to have such...

Why do all my favorite socks have holes in them? And other important questions.

No seriously. Why do my favorite socks have holes in them? And now my vans I bought two years ago are also tearing apart.  April was a little crazy. I was sick for most of it and this was the first month where I spent almost every weekend in bed. Almost. Meaning I did not do stand up. I finally did a mic 2 days ago after ages, and it felt so amazing. I felt like I was injected with life and all the weight just unloaded and all other amazing feelings in the world you can think of. I won best set of the hour too which was very encouraging even though it doesn't mean shit (I do hope I get a free mic and then a show).  I want to talk about something else though. Allow me to sound bitter. While I was in bed due to my cold, I inevitably got bored and did some stalking. I ended up discovering that one of the girls, actually several of the girls I went to school and college with, are married now. It's such a bizarre feeling. I haven't talked to them in years. A lot of them still li...
