Venue: the spot cafe.
I'll keep this post short because my set was also short. I claimed 5 but only used 3-ish minutes. I'm okay with that because I really only had about 1 minute's worth of stuff to say. The entire set had one good new joke I'll use later, and some old-ish material that I'll keep in because it works. I think the key is talking about how I don't really know things.
And the fact of the matter is, I don't actually know things. I blog because it's cathartic and helps me track my progress. And I'm obsessed with the idea of progress and of keeping track of things because I'm a bit OCD like that.
People tell me I'm smart. I guess I believe it because I did well academically. I did well in high school too, as long as it didn't involve talking to girls. The thing is, I don't feel smart. I feel more like a bullshitter and I guess I'm pretty good at being a bullshitter. But I worry that someone will point out that I've been faking it all along. "You! You wear glasses but you can't actually do smart-people things. You just listen to NPR and don't exercise. He's an imposter!" and then I'll have to go live in a cave or something.
