I'm assuming this board is filled with..(be delicate) ..crazies.
Gimmie a bit & I'll find the distribution of DSM4 between this board, and the MB Facebook & Myspace.
MB specifically, and a group of comic types generally, would appear to represent a small slice of of the population..at least the ones I know.
As a mimic, in cadence, facial expressions, tics, and all the little axis of communication she can squeeze into a screen or a 20 minute club routine, the MB is a stew of not all..but many of my friends. Did Sesame street Muppet's & Tin lunch boxes & taking the Iowa Tests in school make us this way? I don't see us in younger ones...I don't think.
If they allowed at large delegates, we could elect a Maria Bamford to congress to represent us. As it is, she shall continue to represent us in small bits on TV & occasional club dates until something bad happens, or she becomes fully happy, or worse, normal. (No worries there).
I have at least 3 serious Bamfords in my life. One teaches Fem Lit @ USC (or just did, she just took another post), another, she's a Phsyc Dr @ Harvard Med specializing in Brain Trauma.....and another is in Portland, Oregon, doing not well, (but she's *much*better, really).
All 3 answer the question of Being Bamford in different ways.
Good Luck, Maria, on Being Bamford in the most badass of ways.
One small point, though. Almost 3 years ago I moved from Texas to the bay area because I'm your semi-average tech geek as far as work goes. In the last few years I've seen MB use a lot of strong California accents & voices. Most of accents & characters east of the Rockies I can at least hear well enough, and mimic most of them pretty darn well, but California accents in regions and cultural strata are still really difficult to get in my grasp.
If anyone actually reads this, they might give me a suggestion or 2.
If no one reads this, well of course then, don't bother.
If MB reads this, and does a SF area show sometime, and... lingers after, I'll bring a copy of the DSM4 for you to autograph. (And of course purchase some MB product, so as long as it's cheap. I'm thinking perhaps a miniature MB wig type pencil eraser cover...but that was the Old Hair...anway.)
Eh...she prolly doesn't read the boards, anyway, but this *is* a generic container full O fan happiness & affection.
Like anyone else, the MB prolly has, somewhere, a hidden reserve of Douchbaggery, but I've not smelled the slightest whiff of it in her work.
It is very good work.
