Once conventions are over I try and get back to the gym. Mostly because when you work 10 feet from your bed, you don’t get much excursive. I worry about my bones turning to jelly.
But I’ll go to the gym for about a week and then get frustrated with all the work and no results and end up slacking off again. I know muscle weighs more than fat, but it’s still daunting.
Georges Seurat Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte 1884-1886
I read somewhere that the woman with the monkey is a prostitute. Something about women of ill repute owning monkeys?
A friend told me a GREAT story once about a guy who…um… he had a bit of a heart attack while they were…uh… well, it was REALLY hard for her to get a pair of sweat pants on him so she could get him to the hospital. He lived, but the doctors and nurses had a hard time not laughing at his…um…state.
When you have a heart attack and your heart stops pumping then all the blood in your body stays where it is…
I don’t really know if my princess is talking about finally getting a sparkly ring or the boy that comes with it, but I couldn’t stop looking at it for days. Ring or boy.
even now….soooo sparkly.
When we snuck out the back exit we did circle back and tell the guys at the door that we were no longer in there.
We were also disgustingly cute for about three days after this. Ask Happygoth. She had to put up with us.
My friends were convinced that we were making out.
We had both been pumping so much adrenaline that we were starving and went to get a sandwich and water. We sat under the stares that I used to sit at and sell my books so many years ago. We looked at the area of the Marriott convention level where I used to do the kilt blowing and where he had seen me for the first time in 2009. I tried my damnedest not to take notes for comic strips and just enjoy the moment. It was a really good sandwich.
I wanna get in everything that happened but I can’t quite get it all strung together coherently and in an entertaining manner. Going to try and wrap up the proposal comics soon, honest.
We slipped into the first empty panel room that we could find and then he asked me if I really did want to get married. We talked for about a half hour and some of the kilt guys guarded the door. I want to figure out how to make that into a comic but I haven’t written tomorrows yet, so we’ll see if it makes it in. I saw someone else’s video and apparently, right after we left, Daven said “Now would all the men that Jen blew BEFORE she got engaged, please come up on stage.” I really wanted to work that in somewhere.
Tomorrow Obby will help me white board (wipe board?) this weeks comics.
We did have someone ask us if I wanted help with a color scheme right after we left. I kept having people ask me if I had set a date. “I got engaged last night!” “Have you set a date?” “…since last night?”
