The last week has been insane! I've been very sick. I somehow got acute hepatitis a! Seriously?! I'm doing a lot better, but I was in a lot of pain. There's nothing you can take to stop it, you just have to ride it out. Lame. I was upset that I was missing out on shows and holiday parties, but what can you do? I was well enough to be able to make it to the holiday party at the sfcc clubhouse. I was so glad I could go. It was so nice to be able to see everyone. I didn't realize that so many people were worried about me. It felt wonderful to be back.
I've been feeling very inspired lately. I've been reflecting on this past year and how wonderful it has been to me. A year ago, I couldn't imagine my life where it is right now. I had a feeling about 2007. I had a feeling my life would make a change, and I took the initiative, and I did it.
What's ahead? Any resolutions?
I'm not one to make New Year Resolutions, because I believe if you are wanting to change something in your life, then just do it. You don't need a new year to be your starting ground. Having said that, since I have found something to achieve, and with the new year just around the corner, it only makes sense to have it known as my New Year Resolution. As I said, I am feeling very inspired, and I can feel greatness in my gut. My resolution is to become a force to be reckoned with. I am going to amp up my game. Writing, and editing. I want to give my best performance every time. Watch out, because I'm only getting better.
12/27
::EDIT::
turns out I don't have Hep A. Seems during my surgery almost 8 weeks ago, a stone got loose and well, to keep it simple, that's what's making me sick. I'm going to the hospital tomorrow to get it taken care of. I'm just glad I'm going to be feeling better...finally!!!

Thoughts from L.A.
I decided to be spontaneous, and go out to L.A. for the day yesterday. I should be taking advantage of my flight benefits, right? Right. I had a few hours to kill before meeting up with Mark, so I found my way to a Starbucks to write. I didn't know about what, so I used a technic I learned in high school. Just write. Don't stop writing, even if you stray from the topic, just keep going. So I did.
12:10pm
I woke up this morning in the Bay Area. Hours later (I was going to give you the exact number, but that would involve math), here I am in Hollywood. With roughly $30 in cash, & $20 in credit (again, math), I have spent the last 30 minutes walking down Hollywood Blvd. -in the rain. I had to spend $6 from my precious budget to buy an umbrella. It took me a while to find a store that sold umbrellas. I really don't want to compare L.A. & S.F., but... it took me 30 minutes of walking to find the Starbucks I'm drying off in. There's one on every corner in S.F.! I checked the whether earlier this week, and it said nothing about rain. Smart move on my part to accessorize my outfit with a scarf.
In a short amount of time, I was stopped by 3 different people asking me city things. Guess I look local. I feel very cold, but pretty awesome. A year ago, I wouldn't have been able to fly out to L.A.-by myself, figure out the public transportation here, and get myself to where I need to be. I feel very independant. It's freeing. I do wish the rain would stop. I've never been one to be spontaneous- I've always wanted to be, but it never worked with my schedule. I have this wonderful ability to hop on a plane and just go whenever I please. It's the perfect escape! The Dickies store where I bought my umbrella... I think it was being run by 50-something year old Russians. I just thought that was odd. Anyway. I'm almost done with my venti drink, and have eaten half of my mint milanos. I should head back out there and explore some more.
6:15pm
I was at the corner of Highland & Hollywood, waiting to cross the street; my new umbrella, (which as I write, I now realize was left in Mark's car) was shielding me from the light drizzle. My earbuds were in place, shielding my hearing from...everyone. Yet a man insisted on making a comment to me. "Why miss out on the free shower?" is what I believe he said. Something to that extent. I've come to learn that I'm the type of pretty that any average joe feels they can talk to by making a "witty" remark, and that I'll laugh at it as a form of appreciation. It's not appreciated. It's annoying. And while most girls are too polite not to let a giggle leak from their mouths, I ignore. It maybe harsh, but that's how you correct that kind of behavior. It's like training a new puppy. If I had a spray bottle, I would have sprayed him in the face. What? He enjoys free showers... well he implied it anyway.
The Morning After...
All in all I had a nice time. I walked around Hollywood Blvd, going into gift stores, and looking at the stars on the walkway. I enjoyed being by myself, which makes sense... I am awesome. :). It was nice to just be, to enjoy my surroundings. I also had fun catching up with Mark. It's nice to see friends. We got starbucks, rented Mr. Brooks, made fun of how bad that movie is. It was fun.
I feel like I put myself in a survivor position. I had only so much money, I was taking the last/only flight of the night to S.F., and it was raining all day. So if I missed my flight, or if it was cancelled, I would have been screwed because I wouldn't have the money for a hotel. I was so chilled to the bone from the constant light rain, I was thinking about buying a sweatshirt. I found one for about 25$. That's majority of my budget. Instead I got the umbrella and made four different stops to four different Starbucks, and bought a pair of socks from the Gap.
I plan to take more trips. More trips to L.A., Las Vegas, NYC! I have my passport application too, and once I have my passport, who knows where I'll go. Cabo? Vancouver? I want to go to Ireland! Visit my cousin in Paris! Eat REAL Italian food IN Italy!
I guess... thinking about it all... the one thing I really learned yesterday was that... Mr. Brooks is a horribly painful movie to get through. :)

Feed from the Fear
"What scares you the most?"
My number one fear used to be, being alone. Never finding anyone share my life with. Dying without sharing that bond. That was back in high school when I thought being in a relationship was the most important thing, just because all my friends were in long-term relationships. Since then I've come to terms with how my life is. It's not that scary to me anymore.
So what scares me the most? Letting everyone down. Even myself. I'm not sure if it would be harder to let everyone else down, or myself. I'm sure I can't do one without doing the other. I get so much support from friends and family. They have so much faith in me, that if in the end, I can't follow through, I would feel horrible. Not only for myself, but for them too. Sorry you wasted all that time believing that I was going to make something of myself.
When I think about myself, and where I want to go, and what's out there for me, I get this feeling in my gut, this feeling that there's something great waiting to happen to me. I can feel that someday I'll be so much more than what I am now. I feel that the past year, and the few to come are the stepping stones to a fantastic journey that I can't even comprehend. And as powerful, and wonderful as that feeling is... what if I'm wrong? Then what? All this time I thought something great was going to happen, and it didn't. Instead of receiving feelings of pride, and joy, it would be pity, and disappointment. It hurts my heart a bit to think of it that way. But if I keep thinking positively, then I can't go wrong!... right? I am so sure about this feeling, and I'd hate to be proven wrong.
There was a time where I was doubting myself, and a friend gave me a piece of paper that he always had with him. He said it was for me.
You have the ability to
attain whatever you seek,
Within you is every potential
you can imagine.
Always aim higher than you
believe you can reach.
So often, you'll discover
that when your talents
are set free by your imagination,
you can achieve any goal.
If people offer their help or
wisdom as you go through life,
accept it gracefully.
You can learn much from those
who have gone before you.
But never be afraid or hesitant
to step off the accepted path and
head off in your own direction,
if your heart tells you that it's
the right way for you.
Always believe that you will
ultimately succeed at whatever you do,
and never forget the value of persistence
discipline and determination.
You are meant to be whatever
you dream of being.

'Tis the Season... Already?!
I've been wanting to update for a while, but I've just been busy! Saturday was my first paying gig! Not your typical show. Me and the boys went down to Santa Cruz Boardwalk; specifically the mini golf. It was a fundraiser, and the original idea was that we were going to be interviewed, and then auctioned off to be caddies for the mini golfers. It wasn't quite set up to a way where we could do that, so we just got microphones and harassed the mini golfers, and commented on the prizes being auctioned. It was a lot of fun. I'm not sure which was more fun; that, or the mini road trip. It was a good time.
Sunday was my premiere in the Gays & Dolls show -I was a feature!!! That too was a lot of fun. We had an audience of 9, but they were great! Also, it's a really great place for me to pick up guys... wait...
This week I have Un-Lady Like on Friday. My headliner had something come up and had to cancel, but it's all taken care of. Aundre the Wonder Woman is headlining now. Much thanks to Melissa for helping me out.
Saturday is the show at my old high school. That should be good. Hopefully everyone involved will benefit from it. The high school, and the SFCC. I'm trying to promote the new Teen Classes, as well as our normal classes and shows. ::Reminder- sign up for Marketing classes::
I went and saw Fred Claus last night. I liked it. It wasn't bad. It's a Family Christmas movie... you know what you're getting. But I still enjoyed it. It totally got me in the Holiday mood. I don't like being this excited about the season, this early in the game. I just want to bake cookies, deck the halls, and hang up some mistletoe! Screw Thanksgiving, right? I just want it to be December.
I also want to be in New York too. Being in New York in December, just sounds fun. I don't like the cold weather, but I do like the way I look all bundled up in winter wear. You take the good with the bad. I'm thinking that maybe after Christmas I'll take someone with me for a quickie trip. Check out the city, go ice skating in Rockerfeller. I'm getting excited, I should stop daydreaming... I mean, it's a trip that very well could happen. I do have an IN with the airline biz.
We'll see.

Minesweeper Champ
Recovering from surgery sucks. I can't do anything. I just have to stay at home and play minesweeper. Which, by the way, I've won 10 times. I'm serious. It has a counter on it showing how many times I've won. And it's the 99 mine version. Yeah... that's a lot of time wasted. I went to work yesterday. I couldn't even do anything there. I'm on light duty. I can't even pick up extra hours. I need the extra hours. I'm going to work part time at the hardware store again. It's one of the many new adult decisions I've been making. I'm doing this because I have to, not because I want too. It really is nice to know I have a job there when I need one. The extra income will certainly help me out. My car insurance doubled, and I have the monthly car payments. That's a lot. I don't want to talk about money.
My body hurts. I don't like being limited like this. I don't like being weak. I can't even laugh without being in pain. It's hard to do a lot of things. This is lame.
I'm going to get a sandwhich.

Home from Surgery
I'm home from my surgery... My stomach hurts... I'm not a doctor or anything, but I think it's because they took out my gallbladder...
my mom kept checking on me, and she'd always leave by saying..."If you need anything, 'Holla'."
That makes me smile.

It's the Lastest Craze!
Yesterday was a fan-freakin'-tastic day!
I spent all day at the Comedy College in a workshop with Eddie Brill. For those of you who don't know, Eddie Brill is a comedian, and he is the booker for the Letterman show. I'm pretty sure he knows what he's talking about. We spent the entire day watching the other comics and giving feedback. I no longer have a voice in the back of my head to censor myself when giving feedback to my peers. It's beneficial.
Then we had the Battle of the Bay Finals.
That was probably one of the best shows I have ever been able to participate in. I had a blast! The -Sold Out- crowd's energy was fantastic! I was all in my head before the competition. I'm just naturally competitive, and tonight was the one night I wish I wasn't. It doesnt' matter. We all are amazing and you can't compare comedy. But for those 10 minutes I was on stage, there was no competition... it was just me, the audience, and a mic. That's all I need. I thrived off of that energy. For 10 minutes I got to do what I love and do it well. I got to share that experience with an amazing audience that included some of my friends and family, and my fellow comedians, who I not only admire and respect, but are also the people I love to hang out with. There are a lot times where I feel like that 6 year old in the neighboorhood that wants to play stickball with the other neighboorhood kids that are all 10 or 11 years old. I can't believe they let me play along with them. In the past few months I have finally felt like my life is making sense, and having some direction. And I thank you all for your comments, critiques, shoulders to lean on, and your support. Thanks for letting this kid hang out with you all.

My Last Hoorah
Thursday I'm having surgery. So weird. The doctors are removing my gallbladder. That doesn't bother me. I understand it's a simple procedure, I won't have gallstones anymore, because well, that's obvious. Here's what bothers me. "Kelly, we will make four small incisions on your stomach, detach the gallbladder, and remove it through your belly button." WHAT?! I think it bothered me the most that he said it like it was completely normal. Like, how else would we remove it? I have a picture booklet... so disgusting. They're removing my gallbladder through my belly button! This isn't lint people! This is an organ! I'm really hoping it weighs 20 pounds, because than I'll be at my goal weight.
Anyway, because of this, I'm sure I won't be able to enjoy all the foods I do now. Monday Meg and I are going to ToTo's. Which, if you didn't know, is THE BEST PIZZA ever! It's like my last hoorah. That sounds stupid, but it's true.
Not having a car sucks. My car is dead. I've been approved for a car loan, I'm just waiting for the check. It should have been here yesterday. I've been borrowing my mom's car when I can, but her car is having coolant problems. She's looking for a new car as well. It's hard coordinating between work and shows, and then her schedule too. Lame. I'm looking at 2004/5/6 Honda Civics. It would be nice to have a reliable car for once.
I feel like I have more to say, or that I felt I had more to say at the beginning of this post. I suppose not.
ooh! I did get asked to do a Featured set for the new Gays & Dolls show!!!
Sunday, Nov. 11th @ 7pm $8 B.Y.O.B. at 414 Mason St. #705 San Francisco, Ca
I'm very excited!!! I'll also be there on Nov. 4th, but in the open mic portion of the show.
check it out.

Hung Up
There's an outfit I really want. It looks amazing on me, but someone else got it before me, and there's only one. She looks alright in it... but I think it was made for me. Maybe I just want it so badly that I feel it's a perfect fit. I can't stop thinking about it. Okay... it's not an outfit. That was just an elaborate metaphor. I don't believe in love at first site, or soul mates. The fact that there are billions of people on this planet, and only ONE is made for you? I don't buy it. But when you connect with someone, that's amazing. Even within that first hour of meeting, you feel as if you've known each other for years. Someone gets you. Finally! Then you meet the girlfriend. It's rare that I find a guy where the connection is mutual, but now some one's beat me to it? It's heartbreaking. What about me? When will I stop getting the short straw? There's always been someone else. I don't know if you could tell, but I'm feeling a little self-loathing. What? I know. I'm just tired of finding myself back in this spot. I'll meet some one. We talk, we go out. He enjoys my company. I adore him. That's not enough. There's always another girl, whether it be a girlfriend, or just someone else he's interested in. I rarely feel wanted, and when I do, I don't think, I react. I really need to control that better. It could get me into trouble. I'm forming characteristics I never wanted to have. I'm giving excuses for my behavior. I'm tired I acting this way. I'm tired. I wish I didn't think about all of this, I really do. It plagues my thoughts. I know that I need to just realize that what I want right now, is not going to happen, and to just get over it. It already hurts. Reality makes it worse. I don't want to not like him. That was a wordy sentence. I like liking him. It's hard not to. I need to move ahead.

What a Weekend
Friday was the Birthday Roast for Shane and myself. It was a blast... from what I remember. I was the highlight of the night... that happens when you fall of the stage. Yeah. It's physical comedy. They will never let me live that down. I'll have to watch the dvd of it when I get my copy... but everyone had a good time.
Other than that I really don't have a lot to say. I'll just update you all on my upcoming shows.

I should eat
My laziness has overcome my hunger. Hey, maybe all of those skinny celebrities aren't anorexic! They're just lazy. That I understand. I haven't eaten all that much in the past few days. Mostly because I'm lazy. The other part of it is because of my restrictions. Two more weeks until my gallstones are removed! Until then I can't have any of the greasy goodness that I miss so much. Actually... I cheated the system last night. Megan and I were at the mall, and we went to Burger King. I just got a plain burger, took off all the grease I could... I miss it. I am such a fast food junkie. My body handled it pretty well too. What can I say... I'm a risk taker. I really shouldn't be though. I've never experienced pain like that before. Worse than labor I hear.
Speaking of... (that's called a transition folks) I've been thinking about my life. I know, scary right? I was more so thinking about the "what ifs." "What ifs" are dangerous. What if my family life doesn't start for 10 years! It was brought to my attention that some people believe a person I know, and myself will eventually end up together... estimated time: 10 years. Even if this does happen, I do not want to wait 10 years. I don't want to have my first kid when I'm 31. And on that note... who's to say I go in order? There's been a baby boom in my graduating class. Is it going to happen to me? I don't think I could do it. I know how much goes into raising a baby. I see Megan do it everyday, and she has a husband and family all over the place. If I got knocked up... well it wouldn't be like the movie. At this point in my life I am more career oriented. I always thought I could balance the two perfectly (I'm a Libra... balance is what we do), but since I have no love interest, it's been about my career. But I don't want to be that woman who has spent so much time focusing on her job, that it's too late for her to start a family, or even start looking for love. I don't want to let anything pass me by. Is it bad that I want to do it all? I know what I want... I always have.
I could, and probably will never understand how people don't know what they want to do with their lives. In college... so many kids change their major, or are Undeclared. How could you not know what you want to do with your life? I know that's just me, that I've always known I wanted to be on stage. Films, TV, and now stand up has become a part of that. I always wanted to be a mom too. Get married at about 25, have a kid by 26, 27... That was the plan. I need to stop planning...but when you don't plan... you hope. You hope by 25 your life falls into place. I used to want a lot of kids too... 4 or 5. I'm Irish... we do have a quota! Thinking about my career, and the time that takes... and just some other factors... maybe 2 or 3 kids is enough.
I know that in person, I come off as... relatively normal. Truth is, I'm a girl, and all girls have a crazy flag. This is where my flies. I wish I didn't put so much effort into thinking about these kinds of things, but it's just how my brain is wired.
Even though I'm only 21, I feel like I'm having a midlife crisis. Maybe it's because I feel that by 42 my life should be in place. I should already have the career, be married and have a teenager in house that can't stand me only because I'm the parent and they're at that age. My 20s are for prep time. Right? There I go again, planning. I need to stop that. I should be planning my sets, not a part of my life that doesn't even exist.
I feel like I could end this on a better note... but my brain is completely fried. It's times like this where I envy guys.

Wiped Out
So it's been a few days. I'm exhausted. I hosted the Late Night Open Mic. I was more buzzed than I would have like to have been, because I don't like to be altered when performing. It was alright though. We had about 5 audience members, who I believe all stayed from the earlier show. They rocked.
I was also given some extra stage time too! I was put up in the 6pm grad show, and I got 5 minutes in Naked Comedy. I'm excited. That was my first time in that show.
This week is gonna be cara-zay! Wednesday I'm hosting Hump Day Comedy @ the SFCC Clubhouse (Can you tell I'm working on my hosting skills?) Friday I'll probably do the Late Night Open Mic, which will actually be at 7pm because my ROAST is Friday @ 9pm.
Friday's going to be an awesome time!
I've been writing a few different bits lately, which makes me happy! I've been wanting to write for weeks! I just feel like, hey, I could write something awesome right now! But I had nothing to write about. They come in waves, and my has been crashing down lately. I've been really focusing on performance lately.
Hmmm... Somehow I don't think this blog is that interesting. Sorry, not a whole lot is going on in my life. I'm going to Disney Land next week. That's about it.
I really have been wishing I lived in the city. It would just be easier for going out, I wouldn't have to check in with my parents to tell them I'm too drunk to drive home. Moving out would be very beneficial.I don't really have money though... There's always a catch.
I'm going to try and be producitive today...
I might fail...but at least I'll have tried.

Are you kidding me?!
I was going to title this particular blog "Seriously?!" but then I realized... that's the name for the entire blog!
If you look at a girl's romantic history, or in my case... guys I really like... you start to see a pattern with the guys. Some girls like bad boys. They feel like they can change them, or they like the excitement. Unfortunately, some girls always fall for the abuser. Some girls fall for guys that are just completely the opposite of themselves.
Me?
Thanks for asking.
In the past couple months, I've realized that I fall for the guys that are already in committed relationships! WHAT?! Yes. And this goes back a long way too. A few years ago, a guy I worked with, I absolutely adored. We joked around, we had fun together. One day, his girlfriend's on the phone. How was it that I was the only person in the world to not know that he had a girlfriend of many years?
Even the first guy I was um...intimate with, (this is weird to talk about, but whatever!) yeah, 2 weeks after I moved back to California, "yeah, my girlfriend doesn't mind that I mess around."
WHAT!? REALLY?! SERIOUSLY?!
Thanks for making me feel like a whore.
Lately its been every guy I meet, and as soon as I think, "hey, he's cute, we're kinda flirting here..." someone else HAS to ask him, "So how's your girlfriend?"
NOOOOO!!!!
I don't know what it is about me, but I can always manage to find myself a man that's not afraid to commit. He's just already committed to someone else.
Have you ever been in that situation and you meet the girlfriend (or boyfriend)? It's a no win situation because if you like her, it's like, "Damnit! She's fantastic! I can't hate her. She's adorable!"
or if you don't like her, "She's a bitch! Why is he wasting his time with her? I am angry with the way this situation has played out. How can a beezy like that be with him?"
For me, the girlfriend is usually awesome. I think it's worse not being able to hate them, because you want to throw them onto the train tracks (wait, are there any train tracks around?) but instead you go out for coffee and go to the bathroom together.
If you read my last post, I guess this ties into it. I have stopped looking. I think I've had too. I am so tired of meeting the girlfriend. Maybe I'll just assume that everyone I meet is already taken.
"hey Kelly, my friend is really great, you two would really hit it off."
is he single?
"of course"
sorry, it's probably not going to work out. I'm usually only attracted to guys that already have girlfriends. what's your boyfriend doing later tonight?
seriously?!

stupid universe
Stop looking.
It'll happen when it happens
Everything will just fall into place.
Shut Up.
Every so often, I'll get like this. I'll evaluate my life. Where I am, where I thought I'd be by now, and where I could go from here. I'd figure I'd be in a relationship by now, if not at least dating. But for the first time in years, I'm okay with the fact that I'm not with someone. I get it, I don't NEED someone else to make me who I am. However, it would be nice to not just be single. Single and dating. That'd be nice. I'm sure I'd get more writing done if I was dating. I'm so bad at meeting people, yes, even though my confidence has tripled from 6 months ago. I'm awkward. I'm also picky. Picky and awkward should not go together. It would be wonderful to get excited about something. Maybe I'll just always be a romantic at heart, no matter how badly I've been hurt, but even just thinking about getting ready for a night out, I can feel the butterflies in my stomach. I long for that. "If you stop looking, it'll happen." I fucking hate that line. I'm not looking. Are you saying that if I completely get rid of the thought of dating, then the universe will just make it all happen for me? I would LOVE a million dollars. I'm not avidly looking a million dollars, nor am I thinking about it all the time; it's still something I want though. It's the same thing. Why is it that you always get "advice" like that from people already in relationships? That irks me. Yeah... irks.
I've always been this way though; single, not dating...and I hated it. I suppose I'm finally growing into it. I'm actually holding some high cards in my hand. I'm single, young, I have an awesome job, I'm getting comfortable in my own skin... God, I can't even say pretty, or anything. Does that sound like I've been damaged or what? I know I'm not an Ug-O, but I'm so used to my friends getting all the physical attention... it's weird for me. Again...awkward.
ANYWAY.
I am getting comfortable with myself. I love who I am. I'm pretty rad, and if you can't see that... well your loss. I had very specific plans for my life, and I'm not where I saw myself years before. I love where I am, but it's not what I pictured. I'm cool with that. I do believe that everything happens for a reason, even if that reason doesn't become clear for years...or ever. The people that come in and out of our lives help us grow, they can change us into who we become.
Here's to letting go and just being, while we still can.

Birthday
My birthday was yesterday. 21. It's weird. It's been bittersweet, cause of my dog and all.
Megan came over with Piper yesterday morning with starbucks, a little cake, balloons, and flowers. I'm so thankful I have Megan. You know how in some relationships, friends or romantic, one person needs the other person more? I think we need each other the same amount... which is a lot. We really do complete each other.
ANYWHOO
Went to work. Tried to get off early, but couldn't. Lame.
After work, I changed into my party dress, and headed to the city!
Crashed at Katie's. Now I'm at home on the couch. Wasting time cause I don't want to do anything today. No hangover. I'm a rockstar.

my puppy dog.
We've called the vet. We're putting our dog down. Our golden retriever/lab Hunter, just barely 15 yrs. old. My mom is a mess. She's not the person you want to put in charge of a crisis. My brother's doing well. It's pretty much "his" dog. They grew up together. He was 3 when we got him. My sister left the house. She'll be a mess like my mom, so I understand why she left. My dad's the calm one. He's had dogs before. Except for him, we've never had a pet before. He's on his way home before the vet gets here. While writing this, my friend called me. I said, "The vet will be here in 40 minutes to put my dog down." That turned the faucet on. Saying it outloud makes it true. I feel okay though. He's been in pain for a long time. He has real bad arthritis in his back legs, and sometimes he'll just collapse. He breathes real heavy. I honestly thought we would have done this a year ago. My brother, the Barry fan, pointed out that the year we got him, the Giants signed Barry Bonds. Now Barry won't be back to play for them... weird coincidence? I don't think so, but I'll humor my lil bro. My family, we've been very fortunate. My siblings and I have never had anyone close to us die before. This is hard.
Okay, I have a good story. It's funny... I promise!
So since Hunter crossed over from an adult dog, to an old man dog, he got stubborn. When we'd let him out to go to the bathroom he would sit out there until my dad came home. So if I knew I was going out somewhere, I wouldn't let him out, because then I wouldn't be able to get to work, or where ever I was going ontime. So one day, he's wagging his tail. He wants to go out. Nope. I have to go out somewhere soon. You don't get to go out. He's still bugging me by the couch, "come on, let me out!" Nope. You're a stubborn old man dog. I'm not falling for it again. Then I noticed he's by the front door. Then the smell hits me. Yup. He took a huge crap right in front of the couch I was sitting on, and he's at the door looking at me like, "So...You gonna let me out now?"

I miss pizza
It's official. I have gallstones. Lame. It's like kidney stones, but they're in your gallbladder. Cause by my poor diet. Damn it body! My appointment to get them removed isn't until the end of October. No greasy foods. I can eat them...but it will cause the most excruciating pain I've ever felt in my life. I miss pizza. I love pizza so much. There are so many different kinds of pizzas. Not topping wise, cause I just like cheese pizza...but different venues that sell pizza. All taste magical in their own ways. Toto's is the best though. It's amazing! Extreme pizza has a pizza made with alfredo sauce.... I'm drooling. In Orlando, there was CiCi's Pizza... if you ever find a CiCi's Pizza...GO! It's a pizza buffet for only $5 a plate!!! It's wonderful. It's always a good time to eat pizza. ALWAYS! I'm always in the mood for pizza, and to have it be taken away from me... well it's like we're starcrossed lovers. We want to be together, but my body says no. All I've eaten in the past few weeks are sandwhiches and tomatoe soup. I am so hungry. And I want pizza. I want ice cream. I want everything I can't have. This sucks.

Questions
I would like to start fielding questions. I want to write everyday, but somedays, I don't have anything to say. What do you want to know about me? How do I feel about a certain topic?
Let's get started...
What kind of music do you dislike most?
A: I hate Country music. I can't stand it. There's a few songs that cross over to the pop charts, like Dixie Chicks, or Faith Hill... one or two songs... but other than that, I think it's a waste of radio play and a tv station. People who love Country music are a cult. They try to convert everyone! Once they find out I hate Country music, they always say the same thing, "Well after being around me, you'll learn to love it!" Is that a threat? No. I won't love it. It's annoying. At least when Emo kids whine, they put their lyrics to better sounding music so it doesn't 100% sound like they're complaining about their lame lives. I don't want to boot scoot 'n boogy. I don't care about your achy breaky heart, and no... life is not a highway!

Not Too Shabby
I woke up yesterday at 5am. Left at 5:15, got to work by 5:40. Worked until 2pm. I went over to Megan's, played with Piper for a while. We high-five now. If you ask her where her dad is, and he's not in the room, then she shrugs her shoulders... it's adorable.
I practiced my material for the Semi-Finals, then I was on my way to the show. I hit a car. Minor accident, no one was hurt, very little damage. I was trying to get around a car, and I guess this car was in my blind spot, my side view mirror hit them. They just have a small dent right before their passenger door. My side view mirror snapped off...but was still hanging on... I just used some gorilla tape.
ANY WAY!
So I get to the clubhouse way early, as I usually do. Ate dinner, but my stomach was still all weird from the accident. Then my gallbladder was acting up. So I felt crappy.
SHOWTIME.
Everybody in the lineup was amazing! Everybody was on fire! It was a big audience, they were a great crowd! I think I've only played in front of a crowd like that a few times. It's AMAZING! The energy in that room was electifying!
I'll be at the Finals. I was shocked. 1st place?! I've never won anything before.
Okay so that was yesterday...today is now. I called the insurance company. I'm writing this entry while watching The Office. And I think I'm gonna go to the gym before work today. I can tell I've gained weight. My uniform fits a little tighter than when I first got them a few weeks ago. Plus...the scales at the airport are unfortunately accurate.
I'm gonna go work out now.
I practiced my material for the Semi-Finals, then I was on my way to the show. I hit a car. Minor accident, no one was hurt, very little damage. I was trying to get around a car, and I guess this car was in my blind spot, my side view mirror hit them. They just have a small dent right before their passenger door. My side view mirror snapped off...but was still hanging on... I just used some gorilla tape.
ANY WAY!
So I get to the clubhouse way early, as I usually do. Ate dinner, but my stomach was still all weird from the accident. Then my gallbladder was acting up. So I felt crappy.
SHOWTIME.

Why "Seriously?!"?
The title of my -ography (whether it be bio or auto) will be titled "Seriously?!" It's the only phrase I've found that describes my life the best. Plus, who doesn't like fun puncuations?! I didn't fill out my profile too much, but here are some facts about me...don't worry...some of them will be "Fun Facts!"
*I have 3 siblings. A brother that's 23, a brother that's 18, and my sister will be 16 by the end of the year. YIKES!
*My parents will be married 25 years this March. ... that's a long time. But if they can put up with me for 21 years... they can do anything!
*FF: I love singing showtunes in the shower. When the acoustics are just right... I sound amazing!
*I am a stand up comic. I just hit my 6 months since my first time on stage.
*My best friend is my twin. We're not actually twins, but everyone thinks we're either sisters, or when seen apart, we're the same person... we also think alike... we get each other perfectly. She has a daughter, Piper, who is almost 1 years old... I love her. I'm an awesome Auntie.
*I work for Alaska Airlines.... no I'm not a flight attendant, I just look like one.
*I have a massive DVD collection. My favorites include: All seasons of The Office (US), Reefer Madness a Movie Musical, and The Departed. I have a wide range of tastes.
*FF: I worked in a hardware store for 3 years! Cashier, Paint dept., and Tools/Automotive.
*I love Disney... Movies, Land, World. I love it. (I used to work in Disney World too...)
Hmmm... I don't know what else to talk about. I always feel awkward talking about myself. I feel that as I write in these "blogs" my personality will just show. The way a person talks about their day, what made them happy, mad, or upset, and how they deal with it can tell you more about that person than what their favorite color is, or where they went to school.
That's just my opinion.
Sometimes my moods bounce. Not in a bi-polar way, but I used to get depressed real easily in high school, and I've come a long way since then. But on occasion, something will just get at me, and I'll be emo for a day or two... Usually if I just write something about what's making me feel that way, I feel better...
Example: (I wrote this a while ago, and have yet to publish it...)
In my head again
No one wants to be with me.
In my head again
Alone is where I'll be.
In my head again
Trying to figure it out.
In my head again
I'm not sure if I'll come out.
see.... EMO... but I have to acknowledge how I feel. If I'm not in tune with myself, then how can I grow? I'm pretty upbeat though. Sorry if I brought you down.
I do have my moments. I had a rough patch about a year and a half ago. I had moved back from Florida, and before I left, I had a lot of friends. I would write letters, make phone calls, which were rarely returned. When I moved back, everyone said they wanted to see me, but after one meeting... that was it. I was very alone, and I didn't know why. I didn't do anything except take a great opportunity for 6 months. As the year went on, Megan and I became better friends. We worked at the hardware store together. She got married in June 2006, and Piper was born, and Megan's friend at the time became lame, and she ditched her. Enter Me. Megan and I have pretty much been inseparable every since. We're were all we had, friend-wise. This last March I started the whole comedy thing. After that first month. Wow. I was suppose to be there. Everything I had done was so I'd end up there when I did. I met some of my favorite people there! They're my friends and family. I'm one of the younger comedians, and so some of the girls are like the older sisters I never had, and the boys will walk me to my car at night, or we can just play poker and drink.... and we joke. It's great. I love it. I fit in. I've never really fit in anywhere before. Am I getting too sentimental?
I really should wrap this up... I have things to do today...one of them being work.
Well if you stuck around this long to read everything, I appreciate it! I am very interested to know what people think about what I have to say. It boggles me that people want to listen/read about what I have to say. That's awesome.
