Laughing Out Leprosy
It’s hard being funny you know, or at least that’s what actually funny people tell me.
Ah comedy, a sweet sweet curse upon our genetic pool that I’ve long since had a passing fling with. You dirty whore, you sweet temptress, you std laden mother of nine with a uterus so large it qualifies as a presidential vacation home.
My weapon, my tool and dare I say my comrade in arms. Comedy got me through high school when I learned doing standup routines for random groups of kids not only earned a positive response, but also made the idea of murdering me slightly less tempting. My highschool was a bit like prison. I mean I know we all think our highschools were a bit like prison, but my highschool frequently involved me carrying stab wound victims to the sickroom. They were pretty fair though and punished the victim as much as the criminal just to make sure we knew that only horrible human beings get stabbed during lunch.
I’ve always heard whispers of how comedy is the best power when it comes to relationships. This is pretty much entirely bullshit. In fact, being funny in a relationship only puts a deep deep strain to CONTINUE to be funny around the concerned partner and endless fears of “Am I being funny enough for them to still like me?!?!” tend to pop up more frequently than my hemorrhoid (Which seriously are being dicks lately) problem. Can we transition now from a crappy philosophy piece to a bitching about my romantic encounters piece now? It’s my shitty site, of course we can!!!
Last year I had an AMAZING amount of dates compared to any other year of my life. Unfortunately with it came an equally amazing amount of poorly thought-out rejection for me to wallow in bitterness about. I received “I’ll ruin you”, “We want different things”, “You remind me of my son/mother” (From a 37 year old who approached ME knowing my age and then repeatedly insisted I was too young) and the all-time classic complete disappearance after the first date! I got to turn one girl down myself though, but considering her solution to poverty was “The bastards should all just get a job” I believe I was making a fair decision on that particular coaster of rollers.
That said, I’m having a terribly difficult time not feeling like a piece of shit given 8 or so straight solid rejections, some even from girls who complained their cheeks hurt from laughing so much. Y U NO WANT?!? *cough* Arguably the worst part is I’m consistently told how I’m exactly what they expected, and that appears to consistently not be what they want. I DECLARE YOUR GENDER MAD! Mad and sexy and…and…..yes I’m probably going to die a virgin at this rate.
So assuredly that when I dared put myself on a local “casual encounter” listing (in hopes of losing the “Jayde who never gets laid” moniker my bipolar friend liked to don on me when he isn’t forcing me to wear pirate and soldier hats for awkward photo ops) the only response I received actually chickened out at the last minute, no doubt leaving my carpet in worse condition than ever.
Also no drawing for this entry because err SOPA or some shit. I’m actually just not arsed and felt it was better than stalling this update for an irrelevant piece of art no one ever comments about.
P.S.
On the bright side the lass who kept telling others to suck her balls totally did suck my balls, but then smacked my bit around with a good slap, sent me out the door and called me “mom”. If this is TMI I imagine you’re not a long-term reader of any shape or form. (more…)
