If we knew each other in real life, I know I'd love you.<br /><br />@ Liar Girl: You know, I've heard about Kristen Wiig from people with a sense of humor I respect, but I'm not familiar with her work. I probably haven't watched a full episode of <i>Saturday Night Live</i> since they got rid of the original Not Ready for Primetime players in 1980. I should look into her.Vegas Linda Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653067016683159930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-1455397771220895502012-07-11T16:39:20.756-07:002012-07-11T16:39:20.756-07:00Well I don't know.

But I do think I have learned to have girl friends and BE A GREAT girl friend.

To follow your dream and, again, screw what anyone else says about it. To be confident in all of that. Without losing compassion for people or the capacity to know that love is not about selfish gimme bullshit but about the ability to think about other people more than yourself.<br /><br />Which applies to men.<br /><br />Maybe opposites attract. I'm not that much into men's men in terms of hanging out with them, BUT I love Adam and Louis because it is a RELIEF to hear and watch them, if that makes sense.<br /><br />You are a girlie girl who loves all man men. Makes sense entirely to me. YOu are not in the least apologetic for ditching the bastard and chasing a dream or twelve. That's feminism to me.<br /><br />I am a bleeding from every pore, sick to death of dealing with make up, love to lift weights and miss doing it, sometimes kinda new agey wack-a-doodle... who loves looking like the decrepid aging hippie I am--and a gypsy with full skirts and great big earrings.<br /><br />And HATE helicopter parents and spoiled, entitled people of all ages. But now that I think of it, I just kinda like lots of kinds of men, so I'm not sure what that means.<br /><br />Sure am having fun reading your stuff again!

I was on it for a while when it first came out and got overwhelmed by all the inane "This bagel is delicious" Tweets and walked away. I know there's real value in it--I've realized many benefits from Facebook, including gigs--but I just don't feel like having to keep up with one more thing.<br /><br />@ Tara: You have a point that without feminism, I might not be able to be me. Never thought of that. I need to look into this a little more... hmmm... I smell an upcoming blog post.<br /><br />@ DugglyBogey: New commenter--thanks! And thanks for pointing out that there's pleasure to be had from listening to someone complain.

I love the show and agree that he's interesting while disagreeing with almost everything he says.<br /><br />He's brilliant...for a retard. He only speaks from his own, completely uneducated experience, and the evidence for his theories is 100% anecdotal (and usually hilarious.)<br /><br />He is very thought provoking, and I enjoy his show, which is just 90 minutes of daily complaining to anyone in his studio who will listen.DuggleBogeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02919663542675107189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-34923036185757411792012-07-10T07:12:24.052-07:002012-07-10T07:12:24.052-07:00Chris Rock comes immediately to mind.

He cuts right through the crap and tells it like it is.<br /><br />I also like the guys you mention - they are such guy guys and I love them for that! Don't always go with their perspective, but I can still appreciate it and laugh with it. I also like comic Marc Maron.<br /><br />And, finally, I would argue that perhaps you ARE a feminist. I'd be interested to hear what your definition is, because you are an independent gal with her own voice, and you make your living doing just that. To me, without feminism, you wouldn't have the opportunity to do that.<br /><br />Thanks for a great post!Taradharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17665801586196931603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-19117479537537352672012-07-10T05:12:34.977-07:002012-07-10T05:12:34.977-07:00Hey, I think I asked before, but do you have a twi...Hey, I think I asked before, but do you have a twitter account?
