Wow, Ozoneocean! I didn't think I could have heard such a painful English accent! Where're you from? Have you ever heard and English person?

…it's really weird how other countries think we're really posh.

No we dont. Other countries know youre all secretly chimney sweeps.

LOL! 8D

We brits have to be posh or chimney sweeps as the Americans are all Too fat to fit in a chimney. Australians re too busy surfing, drinking shagging kangaroo's and saying g'day. French are too busy not shaving armpits hair and selling garlic. People from the middle east are too busy bombing everything and beating their wives. The Chinese are busy oppressing their own in sweatshops and the Japanese are too busy drawing manga and stuff. Did I miss anyone? well I think that's enough bad cultural stereotypes for one post.

Quite.

Now clean my chimney!

…That sounds rude. -_-

Speaking of stereotypes, a while ago there where these social commentators on BBC radio 4 talking about how the Australian TV soap Neighbours was an example of how Aussies created the racist myth that Australians are blonde haired, blue eyed surfer types.

…Hilariously it turns out that it was actually the BBC itself that was 100% responsible for this: Back when Neighbours was first being sold to them, BBC execs complained that there weren't enough "typical Aussie" blonde haired, blue eyed young people in the show, so the producers were forced to specifically cast some, which went on to create the careers of Craig Mclaughlin, Jason Donovan , and Kylie Minogue -
Horrible actors. Terrible singers.
Their whole careers were created in Britain since they were only ever liked by girls under 14 in Australia.
-Till they all picked up an ironic following in the gay community.

Sort of like how Steve Irwin was always a much bigger hit in the US than in Australia.

…And David Hasselhof was the most famous American in Germany :)

Since Im a Northern Irish catholic who was raised to believe I was Irish but being told I was British im not quite sure where I come into the whole stereotype thing. Oh well. Off to join the IRA.

Damn i forgot to insult the irish… well it has been done to death :)

Almost vaguely relevant to this conversation!

Flogging Molly was amazing, as always. @_@
I saw them in NYC but I have to say, it was better seeing them at a venue like the Irish-fest I saw them at in 2007. It was more like a jam session than a concert with theatrics, just the band under a giant tent in the middle of a field. Plus, it took almost 40 MINUTES for the roadies to set up between bands. : | That's ridiculous (it was to sell more beer, obviously, but still. I got there at 5, Flogging Molly didn't come on until 9:35, I was getting ready to leave.)

The friends I went to the concert with were kind of flakey. None of them felt well, one of them had stomach aches, but they chugged vente starbucks cup full of whisky and coke before getting in the door, then ate asia dogs.
Then vomited skinny lattes, coke and whisky, and hotdogs covered in kimchi in the pit. @_@

I wasn't there when it happened because I'm not retarded enough to go in the pit, but the after math was pretty nasty looking.

Either way I had an awesome time and got two great tshirts. They're such a great band. : )

Now for something completely different.

I had P.E. today and I forgot my sneakers and had to do it barefoot. My feet went from pink to red to blue to purple and finished with a sickly yellow. I actually had to run in front of the class, I kept slipping and I waddled flat-footed like a drunk walrus or something… or even a dunk duck!

Let's just say I will never take socks for granted. Ever.

Oh man, I went to Kinokuniya Books today for their Young Artists show and I got an art book and this awesome popup card/handmade manga. Shit's soooo cool. Inspiring too!

And has anyone ever wanted to deviate from the art world and comic world out of sheer frustration only to realize that no matter where they go, they run into constant and rather blatant reminders of why they should do comics?

As if it's on some "Spiderman No More" type shit?

THAT's what's driving me crazy right now. Not knowing what's real right now, whether or not I should become a mailman and give up the dream.

I had those moments about once a week for almost five years. I've finally given up on giving up.

—————-
Mainstream culture's views on relationships annoy me. Most of my mom's friends when I was a young kid were in the LGBT and feminist communities, so I grew up with those kinds of alternative norms.

My world makes so much more sense >.>

(According to Ozone it was stupid and I agree)

But today I had the best day I've had in months. But at the beginning of the week it was some of the worst so I guess it just decided to balance itself off now…

Fun Fact: After watching the movie The Boy in The Striped Pajamas, I found myself bored so I started listening to my ZUNE. And the first song that comes up when I click the play all button is called "Died a Jew" by Say Anything.

It was pretty golden for me.

I mean I had already been laughing at my thought of saying "This little Nazi had it coming" so that didn't help when I started cracking up while people still wiped their eyes.

Just remember folks:
"Jews are all cute and stuff." (such a stupid bitch, she is)

Just bought enough food to last me 2 months (maybe a little more…)

Cost: less than $50

I had an extra long sleep last night and woke up feeling more tired than ever. Next time I shall ignore my body when it tells me it wants sleep and just stay up till 2 or 3 as usual. That'll teach it! >__<

Just looked at the clock and realized that I've stayed up until 12:30 crocheting a blanket for my rat.
…
I'm retarded.

Ugh… was supposed to sleep hours ago. But today that Metformin I took is really hitting me hard. If I go to sleep now, things will happen… BAD things… and I'll just leave it at that for now.

I don't think even a couple hundred gallons of coffee is gonna help me tonight, and I'm not taking any of those weird stimulants or "energy drinks" the stores sell. I've heard the crash you get afterwards is pretty bad.

Maybe if I put a rock in my shoe the pain or discomfort will keep me awake tonight…

I guess I'll go play some Sims 3 now. Building weird houses in the game is always fun. :)

Comic Con is a bit expensive with the latest release of tickets being tied to accommodation now isn't it? ^_^
Still, I can't wait for my holiday in the sates again.

———
I wish it was cooler here so I could start exercising again! I miss exercise! At least it's a long weekend now because of labour day on Monday AND the weather is forecast to be cooler, so I look forward to that.

Posted at 3:03AM, Mar. 4, 2011

It's nice and sunny here, just not very warm. Still spent the morning on the beach with my two year old. Better go finish a comic page, or maybe alter.
