good old livejournal

[ste_phanie]

i remember getting really bitter about my old livejournal and deleting it. then regretting it. and then waiting out the 12 days or so while you can still revive the journal, and whn those days were up, i felt slightly liberated, not too much, just mostly a bit sad

I realise that I've been lurking on your friendlist for like...more than a year without ever commenting much, but I really enjoy your entries - and I really, really agree with this one. This "female comedian" stuff is bullshit. It never even occurred to me that a woman couldn't be as funny as a man, until someone told me - and now it seems like the philosophy is everywhere, and just....:\ It's a shitty thing to be up against.

The cop-out stuff really bothers me, though - especially when stand-ups get up there and crap on about "women's" issues and don't touch the (frankly, much more fertile) material that male comedians go on about. But in regard to your all-woman revue, I cheer you on heartily!!! If I lived in Sydney, I'd come watch!

Ps, if you want to watch a comic who obviously has no problem breaking the supposed boundaries, you should check out Amy Sedaris, specifically her work in "Strangers With Candy". She's hillarious.
