For the Poll

This is the place where you should comment to specify who you like as a comic publisher!
There will be no judgement from me and all of the actual votes are anonymous!
Voting closes sometime in February of next year, so as of today you have plenty of time(it's tickin' away pretty quick, though)

I am bad at survival. FACT.

      I have been in The Loft of the house in which I live for the past three days.  I have left occasionally for food and water and the birthday party of two (now 4-year-old) girls who are related to me.  

This is not good.


     I mean, I like to think of myself as fairly well-adjusted for a 16-year-old girl, and then I go do something like, say, play Batman: Arkham Asylum for about twelve hours straight and when I get kicked off of the XBox do I go out? Do I do something productive? Maybe get some...I don't know...well-needed exercise, or something?


NO!

I grabs some earbuds and plug them into the computer and proceed to watch about twenty Jennifer Lawrence interviews before moving on to some Vlogbrothers as YouTube dessert.*

This is RIDICULOUS.


It was sunny today. I have a bike, I could've gone to the-wait, no; the library's closed on Mondays, especially Holiday mondays. DANGIT. I could've called a friend, though. Maybe hung out with them and drawn, gone through comics, watched B-Movies, ANYTHING. 

Instead I just sort of hung around.  

While I firmly believe it's great and healthy to have a "Lazy Day", having a "Lazy Three-day Weekend of Angry Gaming and No Showers" makes me sound like a bit of a cliché.**

Good thing there's another three-day weekend coming up. Maybe I'll actually go outside.*** 

Cheers-
AG

*Yum, smart people!

**Good thing I have all my new comics to keep me company!

***To be absolutely fair, I did go out on Friday with my friends to see Warm Bodies(awesome movie, by the way) but that was before the weekend started.

I am a Greedy Nerd

Hello, internet.


I was on a walk with Ammamay* and the Nami dog when I came across an interesting fact about myself.


I hoard knowledge. I love to learn things. I mean, the most fun I have is generally when learning things, but I don't want to do anything with that knowledge, I just want to learn stuff.


This is a bad thing, I think.


'Scholar' is no longer a proper career option and I'm not sure it ever was a career option for us nerd ladies, anyway. I don't have a bunch of brilliant ideas all of the time. I have problems with applying math to my science*. I am, quite often, an idiot.


Q:Where does this leave me?


A1:A part-time job that pays for endless tuition!


A2:TENURED PROFESSORSHIP![YEAH, RIGHT!(...idiot *facepalm*)]


A3:Doesn't matter become a librarian and work on my post-grad psychology courses while "workin' the shelves".


A4:I don't know, I'm not sure if I'll ever know. Some sort of alternative lifestyle that involves the romanticized ideal of a traveling renaissance youth, who travels and gains wisdom eternally young.**


A5:Become half of a married bank-robbing duo. Die by being shot during a car chase by the kind of gun that I, myself, use during robberies.***



      The truth is-I have no idea how my life will go, or what curveballs it will throw at me(ooo, a baseball metaphor! *rolls eyes*). I don't know if everything will go according to plan. To clear things up a bit, I choose Option 3 as of this moment in time.


Here's to our bright futures!

Ag

*My dear Mother

**I'm not that clouded by my dreams, although it sounds like fun.
***Hehe.
