Your "Calling"

[pineapplebunnybounce]

I think my calling is, oddly, comedy. I know I'm not funny on this forum, but friends (who do not know each other) have said I should be a comedian. Or that a sitcom character modelled after me would be hilarious. My proudest experience in comedy would be when I wrote a skit in a foreign language that I'm only marginally competent in within half a day and had it performed within 3 days. Amazingly the audience laughed louder than expected at all the right parts and we got some bonus laughter that we weren't expecting (you know how sometimes things are funny but not LOL funny). Even had people come up to us after the show asking where the script came from. So yea ... I'm not a particularly funny person usually, I turn it on and off depending on my mood. It's not a focus of my life, but if I were to sit down and write a script, I know how to make it funny. But I'm too shy to do any of that, I think it's my calling because it comes naturally to me. But at the same time, the level of panic I go through before shows would mean I would die very young if I were to pursue such a career. So yup, sticking with science.
