Proof that I am, in fact, a sociopath
I'm in a narrative writing class this semester and our first assignment was to describe a character without describing. I thought I'd share with you the utterly morbid result, in case you're curious.
Icon appropriate!

about the butterflies
Alex why do I always write things like this
(I am glad you like it)
I had already decided I wanted to write about a bug collector, and then after doing some research and finding out that the jars they use to kill bugs are actually called "killing jars" it was just....too perfect.

I read once that Kafka was a little embarrassed to discuss The Metamorphosis with people, but I really enjoy talking about what I write about because maybe I am a very embarrassing person.
TWO GREAT TASTES THAT TASTE GREAT TOGETHER.
I laughed aloud at this.

...I vote for him making an appearance in the comic.

When the teacher told us we were to describe someone without outright saying who they were, my first thoughts were: I wanna write about an alien! Or a secret agent!
And then I was like well okay maybe something just slightly more normal.
Only I don’t want it to sound normal.
OH HOW ABOUT I WRITE ABOUT A BUG COLLECTOR AS THOUGH HE’S A SERIAL KILLER
And that is how my brain works. Aliens, secret agents, BUGS AND DEATH. ALIEN BUG SECRET AGENTS? This has happened before. I swear I was like this before seeing Men in Black as a kid.
We should totally have him put bug people in giant killing jars and hang them on his wall, attempting to categorize them. (Secret: Mr. Church had a Type AU1 personality).
