INCREDIBLY HOT WOMAN approaches, sheepishly, after the show. 

She smiles. 

I smile back.

“You were hilarious!” she says, touching my arm.

Gulp.

It’s on.

“Thanks,” I reply, blood rushing from head to head.

“My friend LOVED you, too. We were laughing the whole time! Oh my God…”

“AWESOME!” I say. “Glad you enjoyed…”

“You were just… so obnoxious!”

Uh-oh.

Thanks?”

Brain furiously scanning definitions of “obnoxious“… 

“I mean, she just looked at me right when you were done and was like ‘he’s so freakin’ obnoxious!’ and I was like ‘exactly, so obnoxious!’”

“Oh, yeah, uhhh- Right. Good?” I said, vexed/confused/perplexed by the specificity of their description of my stage presence/act, blood hastily rushing back from head to head.
