Do you meditate or believe in meditation? Does it help you?

I do meditate on a semi-frequent basis. My common method of meditation is actually through the Meditation Podcast, which you can find on iTunes. Not only have their meditations helped me sleep, they have effectively helped me calm down from my anxiety.

In the United States, the Department of Transportation is in charge of time zones. You feel a new time zone should be created. Where is it, and what would it be called?

To make this more interesting, I’ve made the central character a girl in her late teens, early twenties. Think Reese Witherspoon from “Legally Blonde.”

To Who It May Concern,

My name is Leslie Middleton and I’m a part of the Delta Sigma Delta Chi sorority at Missouri State University in St. Louis. I’m writing to you today with a proposal. I would like the United State of the USA to have one more timezone. It would be called “Party Time” and every day it would be allow more daylight, irregardless if it’s Daylight Savings Time. The time zone would be rove throughout the country around sunset. It would actually reverse the sun for a few more hours. This purpose would be solely for partying and offering the perfect light for taking selfies with friends. I think that offering this would literaly raise moral as a nation.

Think it over and text me on Kik, k?

Well hello again, it’s a been a minute.

Write a headline for the day after the world ends.

Because if you're going to retroactively chastise those who somehow survive the apocalypse, soften the blow by saying "goofed" instead "fucked."

You’re launching a sound recording of life on Earth into outer space to act as a emissary for the human race. Name the five specific sounds you will record.

  1. A bird chirping
  2. A baby’s laugh
  3. An analog clock’s hands ticking
  4. The waves of the ocean
  5. A toilet flushing

Convey the third sound in detail. Don’t bother using words.

Tick, tick, tick, tick. (this is onomatopoeia)

Your recording may include a short inscription on it, the only text that will accompany these Earth sounds. There is space for only six words.

Our life as we know it.

Currently Listening To: Angel Haze – Back To The Woods (entire album on Soundcloud)

I’ve been an Angel Haze fan for a few years now and her music never ceases to impress me. Her newest album, Back To The Woods, is spectacular. I highly recommend it.

What is at the top of your list of things you want to do before you die?

As incredibly nerdy as it sounds, I would really like to do one of those ancestral DNA tests and locate the places my ancestors came. Some of it would be confirmation of places I already knew (Czech, Irish, Swedish, German), but it would be cool to discover more of my origin. Genealogy has always been a thing that heavily interested me.

The words on your tombstone

“Guys, I was supposed to be cremated.”

Back in June, I took my film camera with me to Roaring River State Park in Cassville, Missouri. Seeing this picture of the serene and calm spring water makes my heart feel so full.

Currently thinking about: Springfield Roller Girls. I’ll be attending my second roller derby bout at 6pm on Saturday. So stoked! Hands down, it’s my favorite sport to watch.

Being a waitress, being a comic, and also listening to Amy Poehler’s Yes Please on Audible, I found I was able to relate to this quote:

“How a person treats their waitress is a great indication of their character.” – Amy Poehler

Day 9274: Awake — July 7, 2015

Day 9274: Awake

Sometimes your body wakes you up at odd hours and you’re unable of going back to sleep again. That’s me today. In two weeks, I’ll be heading up to St. Louis so I can fly out the next morning to San Francisco. The itch for adventure has made me a little forgetful and anxious. I’m flying out alone, which is something I’ve done before. It’s both exhilarating and nerve-wracking. It marks a new beginning for me. A new chapter where I feed my deep need for exploration. Next month, I’ll be traveling to Chicago for the first time. It’s a comedy Mecca and it’s time that I experienced it.

I’ve taken to reading (or listening to audio books thanks to Audible) written by comediennes and watching videos of their performances. I’ve already read Self-Inflicted Wounds by Aisha Tyler (my comedy idol) and Girl Walks Into A Bar… by Rachel Dratch. Both are insanely helpful books for fledgling comic such as myself. Both have interesting parallels despite being written by two completely different women with different personalities. Two women in comedy went to Dartmouth and have a connection to San Francisco. Both of their careers took a long time to cultivate and to hone. It’s inspiring to me. It means it isn’t too late for me to jump on this train and focus on my dreams. That’s a good feeling. It’s good anxiety and nervousness. Woo.
