Day 1] "THEY ARE ALL GOING TO LAUGH AT YOU...."
just in case i really suck at architecture, i should go for another highly competitive mostly low paying job....be a comedian...
i've been in a couple of situations recently where i have met some people that i've never really spoken to before...after a very short time into the conversation people say that i am REALLY funny and that i should be a comedian...i've actually heard this before, a couple of times from just random people that i've worked with when waiting tables...but still, i kind of find it a little odd...i really don't think that i'm all that funny. my little "stories" are always quite amusing to me personally, but i never really thought they were hilarious--maybe at the time because that's how life goes...it's only funny afterwards...but whatever. so that's my little shpeel about being funny...i don't get. in most cases people think that they are funny, but they aren't...whatever.
the funny thing about the above association with lucy is that for those of you that know me well, it's too close to the truth...i'm thinking that another possible job could be a lucy ricardo impersonator...i'd have to buy a short red wig but that would make it all the more funny, right?
i think another thing is being in architecture..it's such an obsessive type of profession that it takes normal people coming into college and makes them absolutely socially retarded...(hello, my name is erin....so you're NOT in architecture?...what is that like?? you actually have HOBBIES and things that don't involve your job on weekends?? that sounds FANTASTIC...where can I sign up for that kind of job?? tell me more about your life outside of your job, i'm highly intrigued about this thing that you call your life...) On the prospects of meeting people that aren't in architecture i've actually had to practice having conversations where architecture is not included... here is a little excert from a practice convo with a friend jon--
e: ok, so let's try this jon.....ok now go...you start with something and i'll try to respond..
j: silence
e: ok, seriously...
it goes on awkwardly after that and we just slip into architecture discussions again.... i'm thinking that i might need to seek professional help soon...
