Friday Night Live

I am really struggling to write this. I don't know why, but every time I try and start this post it just sounds awkward and like I'm trying too hard. So, I decided I'm just going to word vomit and see what happens because I've tried being clever or telling a story and it's not working.

I went to FNL. In all honesty, I didn't want to go. All of last week I wanted to make plans with people and do something but everyone had homework and I had nothing to do so I watched Hulu in my room.

Side note: that was a lot of progress for me. Being able to sit in my room by myself and be content even when I wanted to spend time with people. Normally, I would get depressed and feel left out, but last week I didn't.

Anyway, back to the point of this entire post. Friday Night Live. I had spent the entire week by myself for the most part and was looking forward to Friday because I had concrete plans to hang out with friends and do something new. Then Friday rolled around and I just wanted to sit in my room. I forced myself to go because, well, in complete honesty, I needed to for designerly curiosity. Plus I had plans to go with people and I had paid $5 for a ticket, so I went.

In my head, FNL had been hyped up to be this really funny, great event that people on campus loved. In some ways, it was. In others, it fell short. I had a good time and I laughed, but there were a lot of times I was confused or I didn't get the joke. FNL fell short of my expectations. I don't mean that to say it was bad and not funny. I had overhyped the event. It honestly was a great show. There was a judge putting John Bray and PDA on trial among other things. There were jokes about the rock, a great dance number to start the show, jokes about Taylor and a whole lot more. But still, I left feeling like I wanted more and not necessarily in a "do it again" way, more like a "it could have been a little better" way. Does that sentence even make sense?

The point is...I don't even know. The point is I went to FNL and it was a good time. I just had too high of expectations which left me feeling a little disappointed.
