I hate being depressed.
I hate feeling unwanted.
I hate feeling like I’ll never be good enough for anything/anyone.
I hate being me sometimes.

hi guys! this is a comic i made for a final in my comics in literature class. we had to do a research paper on a topic we’d discussed in class and then accompany it with a comic with a relevant subject. my paper was about hyper-sexualization of women in comic books, but i decided to broaden it out here as well as personalize it and make myself the subject and discuss something i’ve been subjected to in the convention circuit and on the internet as well as thousands of other women, as well as give a cue to thought about how the comic book industry as well as the video game industry and even just media in general (all of which are male dominated) push such ridiculous pressures onto girls and women.
also, it feels kind of silly to have to add this since i hope it’s obvious, but i am very aware that there are men that don’t subscribe to this attitude, and am incredibly grateful that these issues are brought to light to people other than the ones that are subjected to it.
anyway haha i have literally been staring at this for 9 hours i don’t even know which direction is up anymore. thanks for reading!!!
this.
want to make walking/jogging/running more bearable? get a remote control car…I prefer a rock crawler.

My version of flirting is looking at someone I find attractive multiple times and hoping they are more brave than I am.

Same Old Lang Syne
I had my last good cry/first good cry of the year last night while listening to this song…I’ve never been able to make it thru without getting emotional…it was even harder this time because a few of the lyrics were direct parallels to what happen to me in the past year.
I sat in bed listening to the rain falling outside…
…I just hoped that this was a new beginning…and not another ending.

Front Toward Enemy: "Our Hearts Our Broken Today"
This is what’s in my head. If you don’t want to know, don’t read it. You have been warned.
I am facing tragedy for the second time this week. Facing tragedy as a human and as an American.
I nearly lost a colleague, a man whose work I admire, at the Clackamas Town Center shooting this past…
I know this picture is making the rounds everywhere, but it’s because of people like this that I try my hardest not to bitch about my life or my job.
Current photo at The Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier.
let me get this straight:
Lance Armstrong BEAT cancer, gave hope to MILLIONS (he was given a 22% chance to live JUST to give him *hope*…know what that means? that means his OWN DOCTORS didn’t think he’d make it…think about it) won the Tour De France SEVEN times and *allegedly* doped IN A SPORT WHERE *EVERYONE* CHEATS….so NIKE drops him….BUT they KEEP convicted dog-killer Michael Vick under contract?
yeah…this makes PERFECT sense.
“Hindsight, I think, is a useless tool.
We, each of us, are at a place in our lives because of innumerable circumstances, and we, each of us, have a responsibility (if we do not like where we are) to move along life’s road, to find a better path if this one does not suit, or to walk happily along this one if it is indeed our life’s way.
Changing even the bad things that have gone before would fundamentally change who we are, and whether or not that would be a good thing, I believe, it is impossible to predict.
So I take my past experiences… and try to regret nothing.”

when I hear/see stories about how kids are pissed how school is hard or not getting the latest iPhone, I think about how sometimes…we just need someone to put our lives into a serious reality check.
She’s an amazing person…and probably the biggest hero I’ve seen in years.
