Juxtaposition

I almost forgot to update. Actually…I did forget to update. The only reason I remembered is because Seán called to remind me. I have so much to think about. It’s taking a toll on my mental health. I’m going retarded.

On the other hand…I DID get a mohawk.

Today is my brother’s 16th birthday! He’s really old. Happy birthday Mitchell!

I’m getting a mohawk.

The End.

Oh Jesus guys. I am the busiest chick in the whole world right now. I don’t know how the molecules in my body are even staying together. And I’m sick again. I’ve been sick a lot this year. Everybody keeps telling me it’s from the stress but I’ve always felt like it’s a cop out to blame my illnesses on that. I’ve got that big, bad ass bravado going on with the “Fuck you. I can handle it. I’ll make it work.” And so far I have. But seriously dude…I feel like I’m barely scraping by. I don’t get enough sleep. I don’t eat as often as I’d like to. I’m never home. I’m chronically absent to my classes. And I don’t have time for friends. That sounds like a pretty shitty life, huh? How is it even possible that I kind of enjoy this? I think it just proves to me that I really am incredible. That’s why I like it…cause it means I’m super-human.

Guess what! I taught myself how to knit! And I don’t mean I bought a book or I looked it up on wiki-how. I mean I really taught myself how to knit. I essentially invented knitting even though it already exists. I just sat there for like five hours and FIGURED OUT how it was done. Trial and error sort of thing. How awesome is that? It’s like when I was a kid and I taught myself how to tie my shoes and then later taught myself how to braid. I still have that skill! Sweet!

So I’ll be moving out in less than two months. How mind boggling is that? That fact has been punching me in the face all day. I don’t really know what to do with it. But uh…I’m pretty stoked. I have a lot that I need to do before then and I’m not entirely sure how I’m going to manage it.

That is all.

Okay admit it…it took you at LEAST three and a half tries to figure out what this actually meant…

ALSO I’m stage managing Evil Dead the Musical! How awesome is that?? I got my script yesterday. It’s a pretty campy show…but it’s fucking GORY. There are two stabbings, a beheading, a behanding and zombies (obviously). Epic? I think so…

As a thank you for the second largest daily hit count in Juxtaposition history I offer you this BONUS DRAWING!

It’s not a comic. But I do really like it. I drew it because of a line in one of Joey Comeau’s short stories. I believe the short story is called “The Underwear Model” and the line is “The world ends everytime you fall in love.” And I drew a picture!

Love, Alaina
