HAPPY 49TH BIRTHDAY, CONAN O’BRIEN!

I could write an extremely long post about how much I love my new job as the web developer’s assistant at UGA, but I’ll save everybody from the boring technical stuff of WHY I love it.

Basically, the only difference between what I do (website-wise) in my free time and what I do for UGA is that UGA pays me. It’s awesome! Today I did so many things on the back-end of some websites that I’ve already done before. Laura (the web developer) was so impressed of how quickly I finished tasks. AWWW YEAH!

If you thought it couldn’t get better, IT GETS BETTER! I’m learning so much. Seriously. I’ve never used Adobe Dreamweaver before, but I’ve been able to quickly pick it up in roughly 5 hours.

I GUESS WHAT I’M MOST EXCITED ABOUT IT IS THAT THIS JOB I HAVE IS ALMOST EQUIVALENT TO THE TEAM COCO DIGITAL INTERNSHIP I HOPE TO GET LATER THIS YEAR! EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!

Soon, Conan… soon.

A whole year of CONAN condensed into four wonderfully convulsion-inducing minutes? Yup. This is that.

HAPPY 1-YEAR ANNIVERSARY CONAN! :’{D

I’ll let the screen shot speak for itself.

This is me right now:

Click here (the link will expire in a week) to see Conan say my joke! It starts at 7:07 into the video. OH MY GOD I’M STILL SO SHOCKED.

Okay, so maybe I might freaking out JUST a little, but ROB KUTNER ”LIKED” ONE OF MY JOKES. OH MY GOD! ROB KUTNER, A JON STEWART/CONAN 5-TIME EMMY AWARD WINNING COMEDY WRITER. HE’S MY HERO, GUYS!

My life goal has officially been achieved. (YEAH, MY LIFE GOAL WAS TO HAVE A CONAN WRITER “LIKE” A JOKE I WROTE, WHAT OF IT?! Also my goal was to write a tumblr post primarily using text in ALL CAPS!)

Also pictured: The lovely preciousblueberries! (aka my favorite tumblr ever)

This is me right now:

I really need to fine-tune my comedy writing skills. I’m embarrassed to say that earlier this week, I spent an hour and a half that involved reading a headline, researching the current event, and then actually writing a joke for it. If I want to write for CONAN, I obviously can not spend that much time on one joke. Then again I don’t have my own research team, but HEY, no excuses, amirite? So, this is the result of my embarrassingly-long journey. It went through many revisions, and I’m pretty proud of the end result…

*insert laughter here* I mean, you get it right? *nervous laughter* I had a hard time deciding whether to make fun of A&F or The Situation, but I ultimately went with A&F (I do work at AE Outfitters, after all). That joke went onto get a favorite on twitter and about 10 likes on Facebook. Pretty good! An average number of likes for me. At this point of my aspiring comedy writing career I’m trying less to cater to the audience and more just trying to post what I think is funny.

I was quite content with myself for finally writing a decent headline joke, until MY IDOL, CONAN MONOLOGUE WRITER ROB KUTNER, wrote this tweet several hours later…

WHY CAN’T I BE THIS FUNNY?! RRRRRROOOOOOBBBBBB!!!!!! *shakes fist at the sky*

Then again, the jokes are different in the idea that he decided to make fun of The Situation rather than A&F… but boy oh boy is his joke funnier.

Conan’s American Express ad was nominated for an Emmy!

If only more ads were like this. CONAN FOR ALL THE EMMYS!

I’m not surprised Stephen and Jon were nominated. :)

BUT OH MY GOD I’M SO EXCITED THAT CONAN AND LNwJF WERE NOMINATED!
