Well, if you have a small business auto shop, you could try explaining the situation to the mechanic, and ask he'd let you pay Monday for work done sooner. I mean, he's got no reason to be that nice, but it's worth trying.

Also, my favorite partner is moving out of town this month. That makes me very sad. I don't know why it does, she made it clear she wasn't my girlfriend and would never be my girlfriend no matter what happened. And I can't blame her because I had to do the exact same thing as her a few years ago (leave town to get my shit together).

Still, I feel very sad right now.

a) everything hurts
b) i kinda want it back to how it was before i changed it <.<

I can add "Professional Model" to the things I've done with my life now.

Just guessing here, but could it be because your favorite partner is moving out of town?

Eh, I don't know why I kept her around this long really. I am unsure I'll ever have such awesome sex again but one the other hand as long as she is out of my life I'm honestly okay with that. Other than the sex we really weren't compatible. Like, at all.

I've found another silva/shadzar-level moron elsewhere, with similar bad grammar and inability to be comprehensible in the chosen language. I'm scared of this development.

EDIT: Oh, and they've outed themselves as sexist. Lovely.

What part of "I have one concert ticket to sell" makes people ask if you have two tickets to sell? Stupidity? Illiteracy? Retardation?

On rare occasion, I get the desire to try my hand at a webcomic. Then I remember why this is a terrible idea.

That is surprisingly close to acceptable. Layout and especially lettering need some work, but the art is cool and the content is intriguing. Once it's cleaned up, I would totally buy that t-shirt.

Seconded. Your art style is unique and looks great. If I nitpick, the perspective on the hat's a bit screwy but that's pretty insignificant.

Two of the most popular webcomics on the internet right now are Order of the Stick and XKCD. Art snobs like to sneer at these two for having such basic visuals in a visual medium, but this does not stop them from having gigantohuge followings, because whether these art school dropouts like it or not a viable means of sustaining a webcomic is indeed to basically make an illustrated novel in which barebones illustrations convey action in a story or gag mostly carried by dialogue.

Meaning that you could totally make a webcomic out of that kind of art style. It's stylized and interesting and it seriously doesn't matter that the writing is 70% of the webcomic in terms of both impact and literal pagespace.

Yes, but I think it looks crap. Just because Dinosaur comics can get away with it doesn't mean I want to.

Bit disappointed to see that you're the prize rather than in the pack itself. Good to be the headliner I guess. :cool:

I confess, when I read Walpurgis, I expected it to be related to Madoka Magica, and I was disappointed to find out it was just your weird porn :(

I am so pissed at Diablo 3 right now... a friend of mine had a random Maximus drop. An ancient one. With strength despite being a wizard and strength items not fucking supposed to drop. The item I've dropped thousands of blood shards, ran hundreds of rifts, and spent countless hours trying to get.

I know I am being childish, but the idea of setting the game discs on fucking fire is very satisfying for the short term...

So yeah, I've been more or less exiled from my social circle, I've lost my closest friend out where I moved (not from death, for other reasons), I'm not close to my friends back in VA anymore due to them either becoming fundies, teabaggers, or druggies, and due to poor decisions on my part I've purposefully driven away all of the people I was dating that took me years to meet and get close to.

At least I have money, a roof over my head, and it doesn't look like I'm going to die before I hit 40 like it did last year. But still, I'm feeling crabby so apologies in advance for being a douchebag because it's going to happen...
