Dull Halloween #2
This was THE dullest Halloween i've ever had. What's funny is that I forgot what I did last year...so checked on my handy blog here...and saw that, well, no WONDER I forgot...because THAT was dull, too! But this year, i'd say, was even more dull...if only because Halloween falls on a Friday, which is automatically SPOOKY, right?! Yet I didn't take advantage of it. But who WOULD I do something with? I'd say the biggest difference this year, though, is that I didn't CARE Halloween was so dull...whereas last year I was endlessly lamenting Missed Opportunity.
This may sound sad and pathetic, but today was FANTASTIC on Facebook, and that more than made up for lack of holiday fun. I acquired two great new "friends," exchanged endless witty, salty banter via status message "comments," and had someone from high school tell me that something I did on video senior year stands as a "classic" memory for him. Now let me tell you, as briefly and vaguely as I can, because i'm actually tired of writing here and wanna get back to Facebook lol, that this "thing" I did on video WAS classic...all 5 seconds of it...and stands as perhaps the First Defining Moment of when I really knew I had "it" as a, well, comedian. Because, overall, I was a miserably insecure mess in high school...somehow fueled by this ambition, confidence, and epic ego that I couldn't figure out how to bring to the surface. But this thing I did made a roomful of fellow students laugh their asses off...people who barely acknowledged me, some of them. But I thought I was the only one on earth who remembered it. But, NO!! Years later, it resides in the memory of a fellow classmate! WONDERFUL!! OK, i'll stop now...i'm rambling and it's been at LEAST a half-hour since I checked Facebook for more notifications. Happy Halloween, everyone! God willing i'm still on the planet next year, I'll have to amp up Halloween again with a costume and fun times!
