If only my life HAD a subject
It's like my meds haven't been working for almost a week now. Don't want to do ANYthing. Eating? Not worth the energy. Sleeping? I toss and turn and wake up in pain. TV? Nothing on. Talk to bro? He's in his room playing xbox ALL DAY LONG. Go out? Nowhere worth the gas. Visited my new library finally cuz it's all shiny and big now, but inside is still the same crap. Half the shelves are empty and the selection is lacking. It seemed like the computer lab is the only thing people go for, and when you walk by they all snap their heads up and stare at you like a creepy movie. Relax, losers, i'm not reading your myspace.
Wandering aimlessly thru the shelves, one book caught my eye. Something like "America's Youngest Serial Killer." I paused and flipped thru it. A 14yr old in 1870-something would lure younger boys to a secluded spot before torturing and killing them. Dude. Fourteen? My morbid curiosity was screaming at me to check it out, but that just made me wonder about my sanity and i put it back.
I've been re-reading my George Carlin books to try and improve my mood. Because i'm done with the YOUNG AVENGERS graphic novel. People: If you're looking for a new comic to try, go straight to this. All the characters are great and actually FIT into the Marvel mythos. They have a purpose and when you find out that purpose you almost wet yourself. Original Avengers are almost always around or mentioned for your fan enjoyment. Hulkling and Wiccan--the first canon gay couple--come across as natural and beautifully understated, the way every relationship ever presented should be. Small stuff like protecting each other, standing together, bantering, and even Teddy suddenly wearing Bill's shirt with no mention of it in text whatsoever. Adorable. I say we skip the eventual Avengers movie and go right into a Young Avengers one. FUND IT!
Sigh. I guess i'll go lay down.
