This Thing On?

Alright, so a few of you know that I did my first stand up last week.  This was something that I had put on my bucket list many years ago, and I finally grew some balls and just did it.  A friend of mine from my first UCB class is a hilarious comedienne and she inspired me to just dooooo it.  I was preeeetty nervous the 30 minutes before went on, but as soon as the guy announced my name, I felt great.  Man, I just love the feeling of a mic in my hand.  Always have.  Are you shocked??  Thankfully, all went well and people laughed.  It was perfect for my first time.  There were only about 25 people in the room, it was a happy hour, and it was mostly other comedians.  Well, this is a little clip of the PG portion of my 3 minutes.  If you would like to see the full version, I'm going to need a written paragraph detailing your most vivid memory of riding the bus to school as a child.

Mine was when I made Trevor Baker cry for making fun of me in the 4th grade.  He was sitting in the seat in front of me, taunting and making racist comments.  I told him to shut up, reached over the seat, and yanked his ear so hard he stood up and turned around, trying to punch me.  I dodged and he missed.  Embarrassed, he sunk back into his seat, red faced and with huge crocodile tears in his eyes.  I actually kind of felt bad when I saw that, but there was no way I was gonna let him know.  8 y.o. me was a thug.  When I later told my parents about it, I got a very stern and mortified talking-to from my mother.  That was completely unacceptable behavior for a young Asian flower.  My dad took me out for ice cream.  Guess whose message rang louder.


Don't resort to violence.  Talk it out.  Hug each other.  Love Love Love.
