I'm too nice.

So this morning I get a call from Brock and naturally, I don't answer the phone. About half-an-hour later, he comes over. I know I should be pissed and bitter, but as soon as I saw him, all my hostility washed away like the ghettos of New Orleans. We talked for a while, but didn't mention our falling out. Apparently, he's dating a co-worker, writing for the telegraph and majoring in journalism at Macon State. Glad to see he finally took his aunt's advice and went back. When it came time to validate my existance with a progressive anecdote, I fell short. What have I been up to? nothing really. I've written several story arcs to the Mac Town Frivolity comic, including the ever-controversial swimming pool wake; and although I find the ideas and the situations to be hilarious, they kind of come off as preachey and forced. The characters are too linear for my liking, and I'm still unsure as to how I want to present them. You've got Joe, the morally sound protaginist, then you have his as-of-now unnamed roommate; a mass murderer who's blackmailing Joe into keeping quiet. To spice things up, we've also got the animal characters Jrunk Bunny, Emo Penguin, and Blossom Possom. When I tried showing it all to Brock, I found that without any visual aids, the dialogue lacks the punch it's intended to have; however, with HIV AIDS, your body lacks the white blood cells it's intended to have. Some medical science for you guys.

My gums are aching. Dentistry is truly a sadist's profession.
