dolariThree panels of AWFW are pencilled out. That's the whole of it, each repeated twice for six panels. I'm hoping people don't accuse me of being lazy, but most of the next three episodes involve a LOT of repeating panels mainly for atmosphere. This next episode will be pretty ambitious. It's a shot I've had in my head forever, and I'm hoping I can pull it off the way I pulled off the Tissue Shot from Closetspace.
[I'm prolly about to sound pretty heavy handed and possibly even Contemptuous to my Closetspace Audience. Rest assured, it's not a trendy They'll Never Understand Me as an Author Rant, or an I'm So Much Better Than You Rant that a lot of arrogant writers/artists go on. With that disclaimer, I get on the soapbox]
One thing I never counted on for Closetspace was it getting popular. Popular is fine, but I forgot one thing...the audience this would attract. I've said it many times - many members of our speices (Homo spaiens transgenderist) are insane. I've alwyas considered myself pretty sane, and I know a good deal of other sane TG types.
The kind I'm talking about are usually in their 30s or 40s, dress like they're 13, and act like they're eight. The frou frou girls. I realize a lot of us regret not having a "girlhood," I'm one of them. However, you're not a 13 year old girl. You're a 30 to 40 year old Woman.
And, heck, a lot of the 15-20 year old genetic girls I know are a lot more mature.
Either way, they're IMming me left and right, and while IMs are great, I don't want to hear all the drama details of your life, and don't want to hear make-up tips. Grow up. PLEASE. Clothing and attitude are the NUMBER ONE things that set you off as Not Genetic Girl.
You don't have to re-enact a childhood as long as you don't lose the sense of WONDER children have. Try something new on the menu once a month. Wonder what holds clouds up. Question wether butter is a solid or liquid.
I know I often say "Grow responsible and never grow up," but, PLEASE, at least act your age, people!
[Sadly, the ones who remove me from their buddy lists over this are prolly the ones who I wouldn't want removed.]

Bad conversation of the week:
X:"I envy you. You get to stay home all day."
Y:"I envy you. You get to go to a job I'm qualified for, but didn't get, and make money while I sit here and be bored all day."
