      ha! Knew you’d get it! It was a comic about hipster people, it felt appropriate.

    I like the hipsters, their a lovly people. To bad the goths can’t seem to stand’em. How was your first week and a bit of classes?

      I’m really really loving it. I feel super daunted about the writing aspect of it. BUT I’ve got given some money for “course related costs” which means I’ve been buying lots of comic books for “research”!!

    plenty people to let down or is that plenty people to dismiss?

    I also find pretending to be a snob works to cover up awkwardness pretty well.

    • roostertails

      Haha I’m always slightly paranoid that my shyness gets interpreted as snobbery. Maybe I should remember that when I think someone’s snobbing me.

    *tiny fist bump of social awkward solidarity* I have this precise problem. On paper, I sound like a neat person…and then I start turning the awkward up, unless I’ve got handy-dandy back-up available.

    Also…Scott Pilgrim win! I need to watch that again. :D

      We should develop a hand gesture to represent social awkwardness! Then we could all unite in the corner of parties and pretend to read the books in the house or posters on the wall. Or my favourite – pretending to text on my cellphone.

    I know how you feel about the social awkwardness. I get really scared sometimes that the better people get to know me, the more bland and uninteresting I will become in their minds : P

    But we all have our moments, and we are all awesome. Some people just have short attention spans.

    • roostertails

      Ah I’m sure the more people get to know about me the more terrifying I become in their minds.

    I never thought a person could pull off wearing an orange vest with a green shirt. But somehow it looks nice here.

      But that’s…classic Brock from Pokemon. It’s totally a viable option for always!

      • roostertails

        Haha! A viable option for always! I sadly haven’t watched enough Pokemon to have picked up on that.

    • roostertails

      Aha! It’s my genius way of making awful clothes that shouldn’t go together, go together. Actually… it’s more to do with the fact that Joe isn’t here to tell me that I should change what I’m wearing ’cause it clashes.

    Haha, Joe was wearing precisely that colour combination in reverse the other day. Bah, let down, I doubts it.

    • roostertails

      Ah! I must have been channeling his style. Good to know I haven’t forgotten it.. yet.

    Nice Scott Pilgrim reference there :)

    • roostertails

      Thanks! The comic has hipsters in it, so it seemed like a fitting reference.

    Hey there,

    I just wanted to drop a line and let you know that I absolutely love and enjoy your comics. Thank you for putting words and comics to your experiences as well as the thoughts that maybe many of us can relate to but can’t express quite so eloquently / cleverly.

    Hope you’re doing well!

    Kindly,

    Zaac

    Daw, I can relate to this – but, isn’t it amazing when you meet someone who you really click with, maybe all the more so because it doesn’t happen so often? Hi ho silver lining.

    • roostertails

      It’s true – silver linings are important to remember :)
