Good afternoon! I hope you had a good weekend!
I went to TCAF yesterday during the day and it was AWESOME! I can’t believe it’s a free event! So many amazing artists and writers like Chester Brown, Pendleton Ward, Bryan Lee O’Malley and Seth, with lots of cool indie artists too! I got some of my comics signed and I bought this cool new book which was great. Very haunting.
All in all, a GREAT way to spend a Sunday!
But in the evening I spoke with my mother and got some conflicting news. On one hand I’m happy for her because she’s going on a date with a promising individual she met online and it’s ALL she can talk about right now. She’s REALLY excited.
On the other hand, I asked her how the whole online “friend meeting” thing is going. Initially she had been all excited about it, and it was the whole reason why she wanted to learn how to use the internet…but now it’s kinda fallen by the way side. She said that it seems too complicated to meet new friends online, and that it probably wouldn’t have worked anyways. She’ll hopefully just meet new people through this potential new beau. But that’s what she always does! So many of the jerky, non-dependable friends in her life have come from ex-boyfriends! But you can’t really say this to her. She gets SUPER defensive.
I’m not sure what to do…but I’m seeing Guy tonight after work. Maybe he’ll have some ideas since he’s her new best friend and all.
