So it's 12:39am, and I just finished this. Sooo sleepy haha. What else is new? ;P I AM SO EXCITED TO OPEN MY PRESENTTTSSSS

I will reply to everyone at work in the morning, so if you're reading this, check back around 9 or 10am EST! I'll be at work but since it's a holiday I'll simply be doing a lot of sitting around, so it's the perfect time to do it!

EDIT: So it's the next day now, I'm looking at my strip, and holy crap my lineart is light. I must've forgot to fix that when I was coloring it. That's what I get for doing comics while half asleep. I seriously almost passed out while I was waiting for it to upload. Had one of those almost-asleep-full-body-spasms and felt the laptop falling off my lap and everything haha. I'll fix it when I get home from work.

And now for replies!

@Kira: Thank you so much! Not sure how long I'll be there, but I'm enjoying the heck out of it while I can :D

@Xepher: Nono, thank YOU for reading it! That's one of the coolest comments I've ever received, thank you so much!!

@Sushi Boy: Haha thank you!! :D I know I never thought that my little journal comic would ever make it to the top ten, let alone the top spot, I still have a hard time believing it's there! As for my magnets, they're the silly LOLcats kind that I wanted for Christmas last year. I made sentences such as "ceiling cat noes wut u did," "omg lazerz pewpewpew," and "dog has invisible harbls lol" haha. I love them :D

@Kyupol, Pascual: Thank you so much!!!

@Hinata: haha no dissing here! I was singing the praises of it!! :D

@Alwin: No way!! I'd eat cup ramen more often but my wife can't stand the smell of it :(

@Chimon: take the dive!! You won't regret it!!

@Limzee: haha I'm not sure how long I can really hold onto 1st place, Charby gets crazy traffic. I am definitely enjoying it in the meantime though :D

@Ayesinback: Exactly :D Life isn't a fairy tale, that's for sure, but we both do our best to always remain positive and to make sure that we laugh everyday. Even if it's over silly stuff, like the cat cleaning the dog haha

@Rita: haha thank you thank you :D I definitely do my best to be a good person, I'm incredibly happy that sharing my life with others can help them be happy as well :D

@DeathGeneBunny: You most definitely will be reading more and more :D I think the biggest challenge for me will be finding the time to update my comic once Nathan is born, as I'm sure he'll be keeping me quite busy. I told my wife that I'll need to learn how to do comics with one hand, while I hold Nathan in the other haha

@Maycroft: Hehe just speaking from the heart! I'm incredibly grateful for all that has happened with this comic, to being linked from other comics, then to being featured, and now in the top ten. As I said, I owe it all to my wife, my baby, and most definitely to all you readers. You guys have definitely made one dream of mine come true, and I can't thank everyone enough. I wish I could do something special for everyone, but since I've no clue what would work, I'll simply do my best to keep making my comics! You were also among one of my first readers, and it makes me happy that I can share some of my excitement with you :D

@Chris: BARFFFF RANGERS. I can understand not being an Islanders fan, but why not the Sabres?! They're much better!! Haha I kid, Lundy rocks my face off (he's on my hockey fantasy team!). I keep telling my wife (even though she hates me for it) that I'd probably be a Rangers fan, but you guys have Avery, and I can't stand him. :P

@Rain: Luckyyy!!! Drinking and eating in classrooms was strictly forbidden when I was in high school. :O Buncha jerks. Haha look at me, still bitter about it 10 years later.

@Rokulily: No shame at all here! :D I was just trying to call out those people who make fun of it for no reason! They must've never had ramen noodles before. I'll try not to embarrass him too much, but even if I did, it would be out of love haha :D

@Bocaj: DANGITTTTTT @ last night's game. I hate a shootout SO MUCH. I hope you had fun there anyway :) And we certainly hope that we'll do a great job of raising him. We already love him so much, and he's not even here yet!

@Cheesecake: I reaaaallllyyyy want to go to Japan someday just to experience the culture and food. I've been enamored with it ever since I was in high school! And trust me, I would *NEVER* forget about everyone who helped me get here! Not to mention that I deeply enjoy all the comics I read and comment on! :)
