If sedaris is funny for saying bizarre things then so am I even if I get weird looks sometimes.
i saw an interview of him called David Sedaris on Storytelling, Humor & Chatting with Strangers on youtube and found this line he said halarious! he met this guy and he said ” what do you do for a living?” and the answered ” im mentally ill and that keeps me pretty busy!”
His humor is so simple but funny!!
OTP: Truth and Self are a bright and mobile knot…ApocaLIPS,
One thing for tonight’s page… Humor is a conductor and a moving encourager.
On my page: I’m ridiculously smart AND good looking. Keep up the good work.
On tonight’s page I have to keep researching David Sedaris and to get to reading the book more
OTP: My story is one of perseverance, struggles, and acceptance. Many characters heavy influenced my growth as a human being. Plenty of ups and downs but ultimately leading to me being comfortable with who I am and the actions I have taken in my life to get to where I am today. Except for making my friend snort a vanilla bean Frappuccino out his nose from laughter while he was driving on the highway. My bad, Andy! Question: is there a specific length you’re looking for in our response due before next class?
no.
I can write my story however I want, and no one can tell me otherwise.
On tonights page, further develop an idea for the semester and look for more truths in my life!

True…

Maintaining a sense of humor can be an effective coping strategy.
*about MYSELF

Have a goodnight everyone!
Have a great night, everyone!!!
OTP: that, “spontaneous does not equal lack of readiness”
OTP: be true to yourself and your story.
goodnight!
David is pretty charismatic with his writing style, his family seems like they have an okay relationship compared to how they generally treat each other. They’ve reached a balance of sorts with their conflicting personalities and general dislikes for each other. Hate to see his family is anti reptile but I understand their choice. Kind of funny to read about slightly below average height discrimination in males, enjoyable introduction to this book.
