I feel considerably better after spending an evening having a nice dinner and watching ‘Prisoner of Azkaban’ with , , and . Socializing is healthy. I just wish was home from work. It’s 12:53am, and I’m sleepy, but I want to make sure he gets home okay.<\/p>\n

Holy Crap. I’ve been wondering what I used to do at home by myself in the evenings before I moved in with Justin, other than reading and watching Buffy. When I started looking through old school papers, I found this crazy mad huge webcomix listing. I used to read a whole helluva lot of webcomix on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

Achewood, continuing to be weird, remains my favorite. I *totally covet* the hardcover copies you can buy on the internet, particularly ‘Volume I – A Momentary Diversion on the Road to the Grave’<\/a> and ‘Volume II – Worst Song, Played on Ugliest Guitar’<\/a><\/p>\n
