If there is one thing that I've learned about life is that if you trashtalk something, it does a 180 and proves you wrong.

I had a ball last night at improv and now me and (the) Harold are dating again so all of you who ran your mouth and said that I was right and you hated him too, you look like jerks.  Let that be a lesson to you.  When someone says bad things about their manz&them, just tilt your head to the side and nod.  Don't say mean stuff because when the eventual inevitable makeup occurs, you end up looking like a smacked ass.

I'm still having trouble listening to directions and following rules and stuff, but I have trouble with that in all aspects of my life, so why should improv class be any different, right?

Hello, my name is Lora and I have issues with any level of perceived authority.  When someone is giving directions, the part of my brain responsible for recording instructions immediately shuts down and my head plays Garota de Ipanema
True Story.

The inside of my brain is full of hamsters in rusty wheels and grizzly bears wearing tutus.

The inside of your brain sounds like a John Irving novel....

My brain does the exact same thing. Unfortunately so does the brain of my oldest child. Quite frustrating when you're a parent trying to raise a productive member of society. Nothing like being the kid and raising the kid who asks the teachers in school, "Why do we need to learn this?" Sometimes I love him to pieces and other times he frustrates the hell out of me.

I tune out because I have ADHD. Someone starts lecturing me and I tune out and I'm all, "LOOK.SOMETHING SHINEY. IS THAT A SQUIRREL?"

"Leesen I'ma gonna tole you somteen."
Then I start looking for another conversation.

So true-- never criticize ANYONE's ex, except mine, because he is truly devoid of socially redeeming value. You know how there's two sides to every story, especially when it comes to divorce? True. Except for mine. Anyone who knows us will tell you that, but it IS ancient history. Been with CoTU for 15 years now, so there is hope for us all!

Good thing I didn't know about any previous drama, so I haven't said anything bad about your ex-ex.

When I tune people out, I think about writing.

What?

that's J-O-S-H said...

A similar ting happenz to me when peepz try and tell me what to do. Only Jennifer Hudson's "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" starts blasting mid-belt instead of "Garota."

That happened on an episode of Seinfeld. Kramer broke up with this chick... they all badmouth her... they get back together and Kramer calls them out.

Me... I just do my badmouthing to Sarah. Just tonight, I told her, "Can you BELIEVE that Lora got back with her ex?!?!? I never liked that guy."

Wait... kidding. ;)

Oh... wow... sorry for all the ellipses tonight... they are my... what's the term?... Hamartia.

mine is the shut the eff up song by cake.

That's interesting because when someone tries to act like they're the boss of me, first I tell them, "You are not the boss of me!" Then all I hear when they open their mouth is "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE". I hear the same thing when someone is too technical or not of any interest to me.

I have huge bottles of Tylenol on hand at all times.

I knew Matt would get you liking the Harold eventually, if that indeed is the one from the Rare Bird Show who is teaching your class. I know him from college (performed in the same troupe). The man lives improv.

I want to live inside your head. Who can resist grizzly bears in tutus!?

My oldest is that way too and secretly I love it
