A Wave of Emotion
I will now describe in meticulous detail the range of emotions felt upon viewing this thread.
Emotion #1 (upon seeing my name in the subject): Holy S!@T!! A nervous fear and paranoia descended upon my head, causing me to wonder who I had ticked off, or what I had done wrong. I clicked on the thread with much apprehension, concerned that I was being kicked out of the board for loving Napoleon Dynamite in such a tender and sweet way.
Emotion #2 (upon seeing that someone thought I was funny and wanted to be my friend): Holy S!@T! Joy and rapture! I’m funny AND someone wants to be my friend! Should I quit my job and pursue a career as a comedian, or make it my life’s work to be a better personal essayist than David Sedaris? Perhaps I should audition for the next American Idol, or America’s Next Top Model, or The Apprentice, or Last Comic Standing, or Fear Factor, or The Great Race, or Survivor, or Queer Eye for the Straight Girl! The possibilities are endless! I should buy a laptop and go to Starbucks to begin the process of fulfilling my yet unknown destiny. I could write a kid’s book, with an urban flava, or MAKE THE OPRAH BOOK CLUB! Thank you Loopy for inspiring me!!!
Emotion #3 (upon seeing the response, “Um…Are you serious!?!?!): Damn. Screw my hopes and dreams. I’m late for work.
The End.
