Leaving and the Academy Museum

Sunday 6th April. 

Short blog. Just made the decision to back out of the short film I have been working on for the past two months and called my friend/the producer to let her know this. She was very nice about it although I could tell she was upset. It was difficult because she is really nice. She even drove 40 minute yesterday to pick me up and take me to the academy museum for an event. 

I know it's just a silly short film but all my life, all I have done is leave. I don't know what it feels like to stay. I wonder if that's how it's going to be like for the rest of my life. Ironically Paris Texas played on auto shuffle like 10 minutes after I told my friend I won't be working after this week. Synchronicities am I right? (This is a joke) 

Anyway. Yesterday I went to the Academy Museum, I spent 50 minutes in bed trying to decide if I should go because every bone in my body was telling me to stay in bed and sleep. And then I missed two buses and my friend had to drive 40 minutes to pick me. And then I reached and 10 minutes later realized I should've just stayed home. Sometimes the universe screams at you. We watched Effie T Brown answer some questions though, she was so animated it was nice and informative watching her. 

Here are some of my pictures and also last picture of drinks maybe because I am no longer meeting up with my friend every week to go over the project.

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 ha...

fries lots of fries and IM SO HAPPY

Image
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...
