They'll Get Theirs

I always thought it would be really cool to be immune to poison. Honestly, that was like, the coolest part of The Count of Monte Cristo. At least, I think it was in that book... it's actually been like, four years since we read it. Wow. Why does time pass quickly only retrospectively? Maybe for the same reason that trains feel like they're going faster when you're facing the back. I think I should turn around and let things slow down before we get to the next stop.

See, now you guys know why I always laugh at Gal's knock-knock jokes. I just don't like that almondy taste! But when she starts on the women jokes -- that's when it crosses the line. It's not even worth living then.

Does Anyone?

I think these are questions that run through everyone's minds every once in a while. Admittedly, the second one seems silly in comparison, but no less important! Anyway, we probably just as often wonder about the other side of the situation -- that is, who we would miss. Today while babysitting my brother, I accidentally fell asleep on the couch as he played with his toys. I awoke an hour later to find that he had crawled up next to me and, still clutching his red Power Ranger, was snoring in the cute way that only little kids can pull off. You know -- typical Kodak moment. And I realized that time was running out; soon he'll have grown into a stage where being kissed by your big sister is totally mortifying. Sure, he won't be physically gone, but the part of him that's still okay with naptime will be. I know this is only natural, a sure sign that he's growing up, and we'll probably develop a different, more mature type of bond. All the same, I'll miss the little boy. Ah, maybe I'm getting too sentimental -- you're probably gagging at the mushyness of it all. And who knows, it's possible I'll just lose this feeling once Jeffrey wakes up and starts wreaking havoc again.

Hey Amy, you know how I know you're gay? You feel the need to express your emotions about growing up and loving your family. God, be a man.

Peekabo!

Today I realized, being extremely tired and being drunk appear the same to onlookers. As I stumbled my way to the bathroom in our local bookstore after a real all-nighter, I wondered if nice Suburban moms were trying to distract their children from my shameful - or so it appeared - existence. You'd think the 1990's ponytail, geeky glasses, and massive bags under my eyes would've been more obvious, but I guess people see what they want to see. Maybe I just wanted to see judgmental suburbanites. Maybe we're too busy seeing what we think is around us, to actually notice if we're seeing anything at all. oooooh. I guess being extremely tired and being high also sound similar too.

So Why Are You Upset

This seems like an appropriate time to mention that although we don't always follow the rules of society, Amy and I do not condone all behavior mentioned on this site. Although it may be fun to watch people sleep and do stuff to your roommate when she's not awake, you have to know your limits. So remember: inanimate objects can't file complaints against you.

Like Being in Love

Hi all,

So this is the first of many (hopefully) posts. I'm not sure what to say about this...I guess it's a sort of experiment Gal and I started. Then we got a little crazy and ended up having way too much fun with it. "It" being a series of mostly non-related comic strips based on partly personal experience and partly our own insanity, inspired by A Softer World. Anyway, we'll be posting about one a day or so for a while...and meanwhile trying to come up with more. We don't yet know how successful this will be - it might all go down the drain once school starts. Until then, we'll be "slummin' it" (a special thanks to Gal for that amazing phrase)!

I hope you'll enjoy!
Amy

Dear reader(s),

It's certainly interesting viewing one's creations on the interweb. Definitely surprised to see our project get this far, but I guess we had enough insanity bottled up in us to last a while. If we fade into oblivion, be sure to avoid withdrawal by visiting A Softer World. And once you realize how much better they are than us, we'll completely understand if you stop reading our junk. Until you figure that out, I hope you enjoy the qualities of our personalities that make normal human interaction impossible. Cause we certainly do!
