Hey y’all. It’s been forever since I’ve personally updated this thing. So to change things up from all the slightly out dated “dank memes,” I wanted to fill you in with what’s been going on in my life. Might be a long post so click the read more if you are curious.
I’ve had some major life changes this year. Starting with my ex-husband reaching out to me and saying all the things I wished he had said to me 4 years ago when I told him I was leaving. The next event was my most recent relationship ended abruptly that it threw me quite the loop. Hell, if I’m being honest, I’m still getting over the brain fog and feeling of utter confusion that came with the break up.
But the last thing that’s happened in my life is that I’ve started dipping my toes in the waters of stand up comedy. It started out of pure spite and hatred for a certain individual threatening me and claiming I had a mental illness. All due to them not knowing everything about a joke CONCEPT (not the actual joke itself), and ASSUMING it was about them.
Well, I hit the ground running doing this comedy thing. And honestly, all pure hatred, pettiness, and spite aside, I enjoy doing it. I’ve always wanted to tell people about my life, and if spinning it into a bit of a joke is the only way to get people to listen, then by golly I will.
Within the, going on, 3 months I’ve hit up quite a few open mics, won a few tip jars at open mics, and then made my local scene debut at a comedy show. And at that comedy show, with the help of my lovely friends, I was crowned crowd favorite. And with that win, I also obtained an interview on a local station’s comedy show. (It’s Radio Boise’s Funday Sunnies with Bridges, for those curious)
All I have to say is, being an observer, this scene is just as toxic as the anime convention scene. But I refuse to get caught up in the drama this time around. Plus, I don’t plan on going famous. This is just a creativity outlet for me. At least until I finally finish school and make my educational dreams come true.
Will I continue on, who knows. But for now, I’m gonna ride this wave out until I don’t enjoy it anymore. And I hope I can get some support for some of you guys.
Anyway, if you read this all the way through, thanks. I love your face.
