Still having your little life thing?

I went to have a shower and I realised that my only towel was still in the car from when I went to the beach. So I went and got it and that meant going through the living/lounge room where Special K was working on something on her laptop.

As I came back inside with the towel, she said "I'm doing a presentation for my course and I would appreciate not having anybody stomping back and forth all the while".
"Oh, sorry, I didn't reali..." CUT OFF
"I haven't started it yet"
"Oh, ok. When is..." CUT OFF
"Seven o'clock"
An hour away. So, in an hour, you don't want the person who stays in his room most of the time to suddenly start making multiple loud trips through the house. Shouldn't be an issue. There is just something about people who aren't at all self-aware. If Special K had to live with a clone of herself that behaved exactly the way she behaves, she and the clone would hate each other and it would be "the other one's" fault.
"That's ok, I will be gone by then"
"Are you going out?" seems like an arbitrary question considering I just said I would be gone by then. Which "gone" did she think I meant? Dead?
"Yes, I have a gig in Fr" CUT OFF
"Oh are you doing one of your little comedy things?"
I'm pretty sure ALL comedians have come across this particular verbal annoyance. The belittlement of your significant life-goal.

The reality of chasing a career in comedy is that you wont even get noticed for 8 years. It is like an apprenticeship that will take as long as it does to become a specialised surgeon "so you're still doing your your little heart course are you?" or much longer or MAYBE I will never achieve it. I hope I do but the point is that even if I don't, I tried. Because I pity anyone who doesn't at least try. Yes, I am still following my insignificant hobby. Yes, the thing I work hardest at and want to do most in my life is "little". To put this in perspective for people who don't follow a creative dream, it would be the equivalent of me asking a carpenter's apprentice if they are "still working on your little woodwork thing?" or someone who works very hard in a corporate environment whether they are "still doing their little CEO whatsit". "Another kid! Still doing your little parenting thing, then?" "Hey women, still persisting with your little feminism thing?"

OK so with knowledge of Special K's life in general maybe I should just put it down to ignorance
