So some of you may know that I do Stand-Up comedy as a hobby. My material is all about me, my life, and the people in my life. Much like this blog I am a little ego centric. I think I am pretty funny. Although my grandmother said I was "too crude" for her. Or maybe she is just a little too prude in her advanced age. Whatever, I think I am funny.
D, a long time family friend called me the other week. She is throwing a party for her husband, R's 60th birthday and was looking to throw some comedy in the mix. She asked me if I would do it. Of course I said yes. I need something to feed my ego. I agreed to Emcee the event and write a roast for R and also set up another comedian to perform as well.
D and R have five children. Their sons is best friends with my old high school crush. I "loved" my high school crush from freshman year all the way through to my senior year. We did not have any classes together or really talk more than a few times. Yes, I understand that my crush was completely ridiculous but I remember telling my friends that I wanted him delivered to my front door on a silver platter with a big red bow. What can I say, I have a rich fantasy and very creative imagination.
So while talking to D I learned that he will be there. I instantly felt myself shrink back to my high school self. Ahhhhh. I had butterflies in my stomach and felt my self esteem meter drop quite a bit.
Crap. I hope my admitting this reaction to myself and all of you that I can bring myself back to my current self-a sarcastic bad ass with pretty good sense of self esteem.
I don't know if I am hoping he is now ugly so I don't get all weak in the knees stupid or that he is still gorgeous so at least I have something fun to look at.
I know that I have to be charming and amusing. I can not be thrown off. My Roast WILL be funny.
Ohh crap. I hope he doesn't make me nervous!!!
