I got to laugh at myself today

[ShaeShae]

I kind of could not help but share this. Because oddly enough it made me laugh at myself for the first time since my disgnosis. Plus who doesn't love Paul Giamatti??

 

 

Inside Amy Schumer - Herpes Scare:

Very cute... I can see it upsetting some but it actually makes good points about how people often might "bargain" to get rid of it ... :p

[ShaeShae]

And that is how I saw it. Because I have been bargaining every day since I found out. But Paul Giamatti has yet to show up in my living room. *Sigh*. . . . .

 

And I think that even with the potential for offensiveness (She is truthfully one of the more abrasive comediennes in the biz today). She got me to laugh. Not at others but at myself. And I haven't laughed in so long. And that is a tragedy, as I so love to laugh. It is a good example of stigma in the media though, in a way.

I didn't find the sketch offensive, but the last skit I saw her do also involved STDs. Not really gut busting humor IMO.

I loved that! of course ive always like amy and thought she was kinda sexy for her humor. that " ive got to stop making white girls" comment almost made me spit out my beer. yeppers, willing to let an entire village elsewhere die so she doesn't get inconvenienced yet willing to live with it if it means having to call her mother, bwaahahahaha

plus maybe that was a coming out of sorts?? she seemed to know more about it than most doctors, Valtrex, what one outbreak a year? .

I actually came here to post this video! I think it's more helpful for me because herpes is really not something to be so "woe is me" about. I don't think she is making anyone with herpes look bad but to be grateful. I've been feeling pretty dumpy about getting this a couple of months ago but it made me realize it's not the end of the world! Especially with everything going on in the world!!
