I’m doing my show, AGORAFABULOUS!, tomorrow night. Had great workshops in NC and TX; this is the first NYC workshop. Nervous. I can try to feel a bit better by calling it a “workshop,” but it’s still a show and I still want to do well.
Gaaarrrggggh.
Depressed, also, and lonely.
But that’s how artsy fartsy types are supposed to be, right?
If you’re interested, show details and ticket link are below.
I think it’s gonna be a good show. I think we’re gonna have some fun. But my world has shifted in certain ways and I’m still getting used to it.
You’re going to be great! Wish I could go to the show but I can’t afford to go to NYC at the moment; plus, we now need a freakin’ passport just to DRIVE between Canada and the U.S., and I haven’t gotten around to renewing mine.
A helpful tip: Don’t do what I did the other night and listen to James Taylor’s “Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight”, followed by Sheryl Crow’s “Strong Enough”. Very. Bad. Idea.
Bonne chance, Mlle Benincasa!
You are doing your show in NYC congrats!! Sorry I missed your show in NC…I work for the mega beast and shes evil I say evil.
Once again you are dwelling…time for a new story from my que…
OK here is the story about after I had sex I had to see a psychiatrist.
OK its 2002 and I was stationed in Japan. Love Japan great time. Well my sister died so I had to go home on what the military calls ‘emergency leave’. I go and I come back.
Well after I get back the USS KittyHawk went into drydock to get repairs so they moved everybody off the ship and put them at surrounding bases. My BFF moved into my room because we had our own rooms before. It was crazy there were a gazillion people on our base that usually had maybe a 100 people.
Well we did luck out, well I lucked out, she didnt. This hot guy named Dennis, who was half black and half Korean, moved in next store inconviently with my BFFs ex. Ha ha we called him ‘The Roach’ because he was one buggy-eyed motherfucker.
Since I was young and retarded I went after Dennis and of course ended up having pretty awesome sex with him several times.
Well one night we had been drinking and decided to get it on…but his roommate was sleeping and of course my BFF was up watching TV or on the Internet so we decided to use the lounge. Every barracks has a lounge so you and a group of friends can watch TV or play games…therefore it was never freaking used. So we are gettin it on between the couch and the TV…surprise surprise right when I am in full swing of Reverse Cowgirl (Dennis was nice and didnt want me to get on the icky barracks carpet) some dude walks in. That asshole of course tells everybody! Which wasnt a big deal because everybody knew I was fuckin Dennis anyways.
Well the one person who should of never heard about was drinkin with the guy who saw me gettin it on with Dennis was this crazy chick who worked in my office. She freaking told my Supervisor (LPO) and my Manager (Chief)…well they were convinced I was on this destructive path. My Chief actually asked me in his James Brown voice why was I having sex in the lounge…I really wanted to say was because my BFF was sleeping in my room and that Dennis is really hot…but I said something like ‘I dont know’. My LPO told me if I had been honest the chief would of had a stroke.
So because my sister had recently died and people felt I had not mourned properly I needed to see a psychaitrist because they thought I was loosing my mind. Lovely.
So I see the good brain doctor. We had one session and he was very nice and it seemed all ok. We have the second session…he straight up tells me that I didnt need to see him and that I am mourning just fine and understood why the lounge was a good idea but maybe I should try someplace else to have sex…like a motel. LOL He was good humored and could tell people were just prying into my life because I wasnt doing things the way they thought should be done.
Well that is one of three Dennis stories. I saw him for about a month.
Good luck tonite. Dont worry, go out there do your thing and have an awesome time. You rock.
You will be hilarious. Plus, you’re already hot, and therefore half way to winning over any crowd.
Break a leg!
