My teacher thinks I'm a writer: Funny Gal will just come up with something. Are you kidding me? I'm lazy and shallow and just want to watch tv. I wish I was David Rakoff, though he says for him writing is like pulling teeth... through his penis. The man has a degree from Columbia. I spent my college years fighting the man, which meant going to teach-ins and rallies or getting high and hanging out on the quad. I majored in TV for chrissakes!
However, I think I'm beginning to hear the voice. The voice tells me to get serious about writing. People have been telling me for years I should be writing (or doing stand-up. Come On!) I always said, "Writers write. If I was supposed to be writing I'd be doing it." Now I want to do it.
Oh yeah, last night someone told me I should be teaching at UCLA. I said, "Teaching what?" and he just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anything." I do not know where that came from.
