I was going to talk about something but I’m tired and forgot…

Maybe I’ll think of it if I write a little.
I’m going to be so annoyed when I remember what it was I wanted to say.

I got the best idea for a podcast the other night. It’s so good I don’t want to tell anyone what it is because they will want to take it for themselves. I is… precious to me. The problem is that I don’t know anyone I could do the show with. Actually that’s pretty much my problem in general. There’s nobody around here. Everyone I’ve ever talked to for more than a few minutes ends up being sketchy. Since there’s nothing to do everyone fills their time with drinking and drugs. I am a pilgrim in an unholy land. Anyway, I guess it’s better to have too many ideas to do them all rather than have to struggle for them constantly, but still. There’s just not enough time.

I’ve started gathering materials to make a doll of Brooksie. I have the armature parts already and now I’m researching paints that will stick to that type of plastic. Originally I was going to try and make cloth clothes, but I’m not sure I’m up to the challenge. I hate to try and do sculpted clothes, but I guess I can just make the visible skin parts and go from there. Brooksie has the easiest body type to modify from modern doll bodies. Un fortunately they all have “high heels feet” which means I’m going to have to adjust that for sure. She’s not a heels kind of girl in her natural state… I’ll keep you posted on this new debacle.

I sure can’t remember whatever it was I was going to say. I played some more on the minecraft world I made from the teen’s game seed. Found 3 diamonds in the ground pretty fast, then used them to make a nether portal. From there I scoured a nether fortress and found enough diamond to make an enchantment table. Now I just need to make some bookshelves so I can properly enchant things. In a few days when I get to play again I’ll try to get the materials for that. I’m also making a sky palace out of a floating mountain that spawned naturally. It’s right next to a spider generator that’s practically at ground level. Basically I have everything I need to easily enchant and mine all in one small area. There are also several villages, and I’ve seen horses wandering around. I’ve never seen a melon though, so I can’t make heal potions. At least I think that’s what I’m supposed to have. They are listed in some of the food crafting, so they must exist… Been all over the jungles with no luck though.

Teen Corner:
well hello strangers its been awhile sorry I disappeared I’ve just had a ton of homework and been incredibly tired because of my meds. but I’m here tonight! the new boyfriend is going well except him and my ex almost got into a fight the other day and that was well not fun. but it was solved with no violence. state testing is approaching soon oh joys. I entered an art contest cant remember if I mentioned that but wish me luck if you wanna see what I did let me know in the comments and ill have Jackie post a pic. I’ve played mine craft a little more and its pretty fun. I’m just really not motivated lately lol I’m ready for the weekend and sleep time already. parent teacher conferences are approaching and clearly I’m a fantastic student so I’m not worried. lol my aunt is not currently home so I’m trying to make Jackie attend them so I can at least know what my teachers have to say. my life has yet to be that exciting the only new thing is the boyfriend of over a week now who is adorable and shy and the sweetest guy and yes I know I sound annoying and full of the puppy love but I just cant help myself. have a great night bye!! I hope to reappear again soon.

Ervina seems a little rat-tled by the presence of strangers … perhaps the tail behind her … attitude will make us dislike her less …

Or maybe she should rat-shun, aka ration, her bad attitudes.

Ok, Ok, I’m not very good at doing rat puns, today.

:D

Rat on! Definitely a toothsome attempt. Prov-rodent-chilly we all were shrew of what you mouse be saying.

Yes Reggie… you must use your powers of snark for good, not evil. You can do much with your power.

The first thing I thought when I read the last panel was “oooh – excellent snark Reggie”
Looks like we have a metaphorical tennis rally here – hard serve by Evrina – tricky lob back by Reggie – will be a passed shot if she’s not ready for it.
Nice to see Reggie using his snark powers for good….

Ervina’s complaints remind me of Barney Fife from- “the Andy Griffith” TV show.

Barney would probably like her attitude, and her (yelling?) things like:

Our rules are important! Our rules must be obeyed!
Our rules are important! Our rules must be obeyed!

: )

Hi Jackie,

If you’re making dolls, I think the Moxie Girlz [tm] dolls have kind of flat feet.

The Moxie Girlz [tm] dolls, I think, are about, maybe, 12.5 inches high, and have [kinda big heads] for fashion dolls.

Just me: with my budget, I wouldn’t spend more than $15 – $20 for a doll that I’m going to alter/customize for an art project. Hm.

Hh, you’ve got love thoughtless, exclusionary thinking. Wait, no you don’t.

She thinks she is being protective of those lacking the ability to properly defend themselves. I’m betting either the furry group itself (do they have a proper name as a group? Have we heard it??) and or Evrina personally has suffered greatly at the hands of both originally well meaning and very much not well meaning tourists in their secretive world.

Nah – she’s just mean. The rest of the group has already confirmed that earlier.

I’m sure she is mean but I doubt any of BF’s characters are “just” anything. She probably has her reasons just like the ones we are slowly getting out of Reggie.

Anyone else find her to look a tad on the mousy side? Not sure if I’d be happy or feel like rolling my eyes if that ends up being her furrsona.

Also, very much with Reggie on this one. Not a fan of this one.

You know you can still do a podcast with someone you like even if they aren’t in the same town. Granted it complicates things but there are plenty of casts that people are in different places.

Can’t think of any right now but I know they exist!

The Week in Virology frequently includes people in different physical locations. (Podcast on virology and microbiology that I listen to.) One of their regulars is in Michigan while the guy who runs it is in New York.

I guess it depends on what Jackies mysterious idea is but I agree podcasts are totally doable from separate locations. Teamspeak between the hosts so they can communicate and then have dedicated recording at each computer, put them into dropbox and reassemble it to make it all one show. Two of my buds do it like that when one of them heads out to work camps or on the very rare instances when they asked me to join in (I live very far away now)

The guys are holding their own in the verbal battle and even doing better in a few instances for the last couple updates so we are about do for a turnabout possibly a massive one or she won’t be an adequate challenger.

You mention not having enough time and then pick games like Animal Crossing No Life and Minecrack! I employ the same strategies in life and salute you Sir! (I remember doing the same with World of Wastecraft) Course these seem like very “Zen” games so perhaps that helps mentally manage… stuff.

On the other hand the only other person I know who is successfully sticking to their art also plays ACNL and Minecraft. Perhaps there is more to this.

The Teen:

Lists enough in both work and fun categories to fill ANYBODIES plate culminating in a budding romance.

Then says, “my life has yet to be that exciting”

O.O

I can’t decide if that makes me love you or hate you but the jelly monster is in there somewhere I’m sure…. :-P XD

@Crave:
First sign of a great sorcerer;
How much they forget…
That is why J. Rowling created Pensieves and rememberalls.

Podcasts are audio,
So all You need is a script of sorts for some clean audio files,
And cut the files together where warranted,
and cast.
Unless You were hoping for a more natural tête-à-tête…

@Teen:
Welcome back.
I take it the fight between Your boyfriend and the scum was over the way the scum treated You?
I would have thought Crave could have done a better job hiding the body…

Art for art’s sake; post, and good luck.

Hey, Evrina, Asperger’s much? Her utter lack of concern for the feelings of others and insistence on following rules (real or imagined) are both characteristics of persons with Asperger Syndrome.

Actually, in Panel 2, I’m pleased to notice Jackie refrained from slapping the manga # (or the little sweat droplet) on Alex’s forehead.

Though panel 2 does imply that Alex has tried something similar to woo a prospective paramour. I wonder what it may have been and if Evrina will attempt to use it as ammunition against one of the boys

Sorry, but I think your misunderstanding one of the characteristics of Asperger’s. It’s not that we follow the rules all the time, real or imagined. It’s that we see the world in black and white, good and evil.

Some thing can only be good or bad, usually this shows itself with following rules. I personally have always been really lax with rule following.

Also your thing about People with Asperger’s not caring. That’s not completely correct. Its not that people with Asperger’s don’t care its that they struggle to empathise with others. I don’t know about others with the condition but for me its because having never experienced what that person has been though, I don’t know how to react.

So I suppose you are correct? kind of? Cause those with Aspergers do care, we just normally don’t understand why you’d be so broken up about whatever it is that’s bothering you.

The introduction of this character reinforces why I like your comic. When Reggie first hit the scene, we were supposed to hate him. Now we’re in a situation where he becomes the good guy. Good shit.

Ah, but the rules of initiation do not apply in this instance. As faux parliamentary procedure dictates, those who are but auditing the session need not turn in their documentation lest they decide to extenuate the duration of their tenure.

In other words, they don’t have to pay the fine, they aren’t in jail, they’re just visiting.

…and if they make it across town, they collect $200! Unfortunately, Evrina built those hotels on Park Place and Boardwalk…
