Never a Dull Moment...
I finished reading Uncanny X-Men 266 - first full appearance of Gambit. I took the comic out of the CGC holder itself to do this. Many people would bitch and said I had lost a major investment now. I don't care. There are some people who are content to just look at the cover and and then sell it to earn some money. I'm one of the people who are more than glad to rip open the CGC holder, read it, cherish it, and be happy that the value of the comic is not in dollars but in smiley faces.
Speaking of X-Men...
Ever get the feeling you're in a comic book? Not really in the "you have a super power and you're fighting the baddies" sorta way, but more like you just never stop? I mean it's always one shit after another. You fight and struggle to defeat an opponent/obstacle, only to have another caped villain appear threatening to destroy your life and all lives you hold dear around you. Repeat several times, and then you realize it starts all over. Frankly, that's how I feel right now, like a 24/7 hero with one thing to deal with after another, and right now, I would really like everything to stop being so frustrating and hard and difficult and sad.
I thought it was just something they say, but once you graduate, everything really does change. Big changes. Like stepping through the Siege Perilous, but only bigger than that. And you remember.
I need a vacation from life.
