YES! 40 LIKES IS A NEW PERSONAL RECORD!!!
Weirdly enough, I received 40 likes at 11:40 PM and my battery was at 40%. Also I got a 40 on a quiz earlier today! I mean what?
But seriously though, this is awesome. I love knowing the fact that I can make AT LEAST 40 people chuckle with one of my “character quote” jokes! :’)
The bar is set pretty high now. *GULP*
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:
One of my proudest achievements is becoming the 4th runner up out of 700 entires for the “SUBMIT A JOKE FOR CONAN TO TWEET” contest that happened right before the show started. You can read more about that on my very first post on tumblr here. In case you have a thing against clicking words that lead to other pages, below is the joke I wrote and submitted, as well as my response when I found out I was 4th in the list of honorable mentions that really made Conan O’Brien, Mike Sweeney, and Bley “really laugh!”
Ahhh. I am super proud of that one. That being said, I never thought I would see this…
OH MY GOSH. I MEAN… ANDRES DU BOUCHET! A CONAN WRITER. It feels like only recently that I wrote a blog post about how Andres tweeted a similar long-form joke that I did. HE PRETTY MUCH WROTE THE SAME JOKE I DID! Of course, the first thing that came to mind was, “Great minds think alike!” ;)
So naturally, I responded to Andres with my shock…
AND THEN, THIS HAPPENED:
RIP Jeffrey Vega.
Hahaha! But seriously! ISN’T THAT AWESOME?! I have the mindset of a CONAN writer, and I received a complement FROM a CONAN writer. Which is obviously fantastic, since CONAN will be my future workplace. And as I said mentioned earlier as a link, this isn’t the first time this has happened. MY CONFIDENCE IS THROUGH THE ROOF, EVERYBODY. :{D
P.S. I wonder if he knew “@nintendoboy” was ME, when we met back in June…?! Andres is on the far right! Also pictured: CONAN writer Todd Levin and my sister, Bridgett!
One of the people I follow on Twitter, is CONAN writer Andres du Bouchet, and this string of jokes showed up on my timeline tonight (read the following tweets from the bottom up)…
So, yeah, that’s hilarious! He’s “@” tweeting himself and correcting his own joke. Ah, so great. Yep… that’s only something a true and hilarious comedy writer would do… such… hilarity…! HEY WAIT A MINUTE- I DID THE EXACT SAME THING BACK IN DECEMBER 2010!
*jaw-dropped* You can imagine my shocked face when I saw Andres (A CONAN WRITER!) write something exactly the way I did. SO COOL! Basically, the reason why I posted this juxtaposition is because I just wanted to bring the idea that… “Great (Comedic) Minds Think Alike!” … Right? RIGHT?! *nervous smile + thumbs up*
Yeah, you know what joke I’m talking about. Imagine the following in a really annoying voice: “HEY EVERYONE! Why did my math textbook and I had to end our relationship?! [*waits for you to guess* TEEHEE] BECAUSE! It had too many problems! LOLOLOLOL!”
NO.
Okay, maybe that’s a bit harsh. I’m all for any kind of joke, cheesy or not, so you can imagine my hatred for math when I can’t even enjoy anything comically-related to math. Math and I have never gotten along. I mean, NEVER. Sure okay, I did pretty okay in middle school (but who cares, honestly?). But once I got to high school, geometry, calculus, trig… pfft. To this day, I’m 100% math illiterate. Don’t let the “100%” fool you… I am seriously horrible at math. I’m writing this at 3 in the morning right now because I’m literally about to explode because of my stats homework.
On a related note, I would like to punch the person who created the “online homework/webassign” concept IN THE THROAT. It really annoys me that I’m bad at math, but when the online submission site won’t take my answer that I AM POSITIVE IS RIGHT (after hours on one problem), I literally want to explode. Literally. Explode. So, I guess this rant is for the online homework sites: PLEASE GO AWAY. ALSO, $62.95 FOR A ONE YEAR ONLINE HOMEWORK SUBSCRIPTION IS TOO EXPENSIVE, NOT TO MENTION I ONLY NEED IT FOR THE ONE SEMESTER I TAKE STATS AND NOT 365 DAYS!
I’m sorry for this rant, I’m never really angry about much, but this…. ohhhh…. THIS. IT MAKES ME WANT TO USE EXPLETIVES! I really do want to explode right now. You know, that feeling you get when you’re so tense and you feel like you’ll never break free? That’s where I am. Also, it’s 3:20 in the morning and I have a test in another class tomorrow as well as a band concert. I’ll guess the exploding will have to be postponed for now…
Until then, here’s a joke: Why did I return my math textbook?
…
If you said it was because it had too many problems, you are wrong. I bought the required $63 online subscription, remember? You should have been paying attention to my post, just like I should have been paying attention in math.
