how do angels get to sleep at night when the devil leaves the porch light on

I feel like it's been forever since I actually sat down and wrote something more involved then a twitter update to my facebook. Not a lot to say, but somehow I haven't found the time to say any of it ( Read more... )

School is at least as important as Sidequests. I love the comic, it's something you should continue to work on, but it's also something that should not keep you from moving forward. Besides, you'll have more material if you get out.

And as far as approaching that wall, it might be a good thing to do in a more private setting or maybe with a trusted friend. It takes so much to keep walls up, and if a good cry will help bring it down, then by all means, do.

I was looking to rent Steel Magnolias myself a few days ago with a bottle of wine (no, really!) but then I got the news about my friend and it was pretty much instant waterworks. Now I'm just tired and empty, but my spirit seems much lighter.

*hugs* Hang In There. And yes, I want you to think about that silly poster and laugh a bit, too.

I'd rather see the comic move forward and say bugger all to school, but that's a pipe dream. Thank you for the kind words, even about the cat poster. The things is when I was ten years old I got one of those posters from a local fair, but mine is slightly different:

I don't think I "lamented" so much as bewailed, bemoaned, gnashed teeth over, and threatened Grievous Bodily Harm.

But mostly that's because I want you to know that SOMEONE MISSES IT. YOU WERE NOT DRAWING COMICS AND FAILING TO BE NOTICED. I NOTICED!!!!!!

Also I was totally serious about accepting margin doodles.

Your encouragement, including threats by airborne primates, are always my main reason for not giving up on Sidequests.

omg the calendar kiosk... i didn't last a month there, couldn't stand it... best of luck with that!

as for the rest of it, recognizing your problems is one of the biggest and one of the hardest steps in dealing with your problems. admitting that you even have problems is huge and takes a lot of courage. you're well on your way to getting through them, i'd say; the ball is in motion now. :)

I've done this job four other holiday seasons. I can honestly coast thru it. Of course I wasn't as fat as I am now, my poor feet.

Sometimes I just feel like, "When they say someone finally snapped, was it like this just before it happened?"

Oddly, I don't think it matters where you are in life, the slimy limbs of self doubt, repression and guilt find always find you. They always find me, anyway.... I concur with your assessment of J. We must do our part you know.. to make it better. Selfishly, at least that will make us feel a bit better.

I can hardly think about J without being flooded by regret and self-loathing. For the present situation, for all the things I haven't done, and for all the shitty things I have done. I want to believe that it's natural to feel this way at a time like this, but it just makes me want to fly apart at the seams.

I know I should lighten up when I find I'm hating myself for being so selfish as to want to die for all the times I've been so selfish.
