I don’t know about you guys, but my first kiss was… a little strange.

First of all, we were both nerdy goody-goody kids, and so we had waited way to long to plant one on each other. Finally, it reached an intolerable point, and, although in my heart of hearts I wanted to have this big romantic night that culminated in a kiss to end all worlds, it ended up being a lust-filled lip wrestle sitting on a dirty curb on the side of a dirty street.

It apparently opened the floodgates, too, since we’d waited so long. This was no quick peck, that “first kiss” lasted about 48 minutes. Which, you’d think would be awesome, but instead, it was full of awkward grunting sounds, and mumbled, “no, no, too low, you go-rrr, here! no!”

Not quite as romantic as I’d imagined, but still heaven to my ultra-moral virgin lips.

Mark it. Mark the whole thing.

In any case, I love trading stories of awkwardness, they always make me feel better about myself. I’d love to hear your stories, if anyone’s up for sharing them–of your first kisses, or of just awkward dating moments in general. Send ‘em my way, and who knows, maybe I’ll give a free sketch to whoever has the most embarrassing story!

Well, I did something I never thought I’d do… something I was afraid I might someday fall into… Like the Incredible Hulk, who always must keep his anger in check, lest his anger get the best of him, who always fails to keep the monster under control… I too have lost control to my own inner monster.

Specifically, an Undead Warlock.

Thats right, I made a World of Warcraft account.

I realize I’m kindof behind the times on this one, but I never wanted to delve into it, thinking that I might not ever get back out of WOW’s clutches. But now I’m definitely in it, at least for the length of my trial account. I can only hope this doesn’t affect me so hard that I start missing comic updates. If that happens, you must destroy me. I will have turned over to the dark side, and death will be my only means of escape…

I guess I like it so far, but I need some tips. I don’t know how to play this game, and I feel pretty lost. I’ll keep you updated as I go on and see what happens. Till then, peace out!
