So for the sixth year in a row, I got asked to do this French speaking competition. Only this year, for whatever reason, I actually said yes. Except now I'm having second thoughts because it's on Monday and I don't think that's going to be enough time for me to prepare.

But I thought you were fluent in French? How do they judge a French speaking competition? Who can speak the fastest, or sound the most pissed off/sexy/disinterested?

I should have phrased that better…it's a French SPEECH competition. So it's whoever can write and present the best 3-5 minute speech. Mine is on Joshua Abraham Norton, the guy who proclaimed himself as emperor of the US back in the 1800s.

She fell down the stairs.

Alot of stairs…and only on her face. completely by accident.

When i handed the new claim over to the trailers, as i walked out, i'm pretty sure i heard a distinctive "FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"

I never heard of him - what a fantastic character/life story. You should win outright on the basis of that. I cried a little when I read this part:

"on the reeking pavement, in the darkness of a moon-less night under the dripping rain…, Norton I, by the grace of God, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico, departed this life"

Joshua Abraham Norton was an interesting guy.
I believe there was another guy that claimed he was king of america some years back, he claimed to have english documents and stuff…

Dear God. I officially saw more of SEVERAL of my friends than I've ever wanted to see. Damn strip poker… Naturally I chickened out when it got to the point of having to decide between my dignity and being the fun girl. Oh well. I'll always pick being prudish to being whorish. ;P

Did you happen to:
-get in a fight?
-walk into a wall?
-sleep on your face?
-all of the above?

Yes, all in the span of going to school and coming back. THUG LYFE.

So no one got the reference?

That's it people, I challenge your movie skills. D:<

There has to have been a a few… It's code for wife beating in script dialogue, like:
"It's nothing, I just walked into a door. Look I don't want to talk about it ok?". :)

You just didn't want them to see the rest of the bruises. :(

Stop walking into doors you clumsy so and so! >:/

Wow… I missed how fun City of Heroes was when I was playing it. I didn't stop playing it because it was less fun. Rather, I'm saving money at the moment so I can travel to see my father and brothers again. Every $ counts in my opinion. I haven't even bought new games for a while yet. Hopefully that'll change soon once I've got enough for the trip as well as for paying bills in advance in case I don't get home in time to pay them. :)

I'm glad for these free activation weekends. I get to play for free for a few days, though I eventually plan on resubscribing. Teams in the game were so much fun. Poking fun at some players costumes, grossing out at others (like a really HUGE BALD BEARDED BRUTE/TANKER with nothing but a very tight… thong? eww… reminds me of some muscular sweaty men I used to watch as a kid, fighting in a squared ring…)…

Exactly, that's why I can't show mine. :D

Always remember, the difference between risque and public indecency is about one article of clothing less than you remember taking off.

As for myself, I prefer to make an ass of myself with clothes on. It's much easier to just get drunk and say something you'll have to publicly apologize for than to try remembering why you took your pants off in the middle of February and fell asleep attempting to insert various yard things into the tail pipe of a car.

Never thought I'd make someone mad with one of my jokes…. told a lady at my worksite that if I ever get married, it'll be to a woman who already has children. Why? Because it's just too much work making them.

She was ready to slap me in the face… definitely one of my more "WTH" moments… O_O

Kroatz Said:

And then GracehFaceh Said:

I was wondering if anyone would get that…

I played strip poker a while back too, too bad the girls totally kicked our asses… My pokahfaceh really is the worst ever.

every time I have good cards my face turns red, it's something I can't do anything about!

Well, I don't think too many of you noticed but I haven't updated either of my comics in ages. I just don't find it that fun anymore to draw them. But, I will start a new comic, one that will allow me to draw anything I find fun enough. It will be called "The Most Awesome Things in The Universe" and it will be a compilation of the most awesome things I can imagine. For example, a gigantic robotic T-Rex plowing out of the oceans of Mars feasting on a motorcycle gang while aliens riding Lions flee the awesome scene would be awesome, so that might be a page. I reckon after a while of that I'll get back into my other comics too.

oh hey there wife. i realize we're having massive financial issues, but what i need you to do, is to go out, and keep spending money you don't have.

Then i want you to cry to me that you're drowning in debt, and then tell me that i'm a horrible husband when i don't help you because :1. you keep going way in debt, and i'm tired of helping you and: b. i barely have enough money to pay the bills as it is!

I usually just squeal "Ohh, I got a good pair!" without thinking. :X

They say the best way to come up with ideas while writing is to free write, so I guess the same applies to comics. Drawing more freely always helps the inspiration, I've found. Good luck with the new project! :D

Thanks, although it's not as if I've got writer's block… or drawer's block… It's not as enjoyable. I've got the story all planned out but it's just not that enjoyable to draw out. But martian T-Rexes are very enjoyable to draw!

Posted at 8:03PM, Mar. 6, 2010

Aw, my friend thinks her boyfriend may have cheated on her… wow, I don't miss that feeling at all. There are some advantages to being single again.

I'm not too good with relationship issues, especially other people's issues. I told her she was beautiful and demanded that she become my Arabian princess. Then I said something about having a nannerpuss penis. That's some poetic stuff, yo.

I'm a great friend.

Indeed they are.

I went and read the TV Tropes article on something called "Fan Dumb". wow… Too bad it exists everywhere and a lot of times it never contributes to anything. I keep finding out the same thing about the world though… the weirdest people exist in it. But without them, the world would be a boring place.

So the bruises weren't the real reason you didn't go all the way. lol!

—————————

I have a new theory about why I haven't finished a new comic page in ages-
My pages have become too bloody complicated! It makes them difficult and therefore very boring to draw and colour. The worst parts are the mechas which are a very unusual shape with all sorts of little angles and vents and a complicated tiger patter colour scheme on one that takes ages to draw from all angles
I'm not sure how tha happened… why did i let things get so overdone? >___<
