I've been attempting to publish what I am about to talk about for quite some time now. However, I have a really bad habit. See, I'll write thirty pages of material, but I won't save the finished product onto my computer before I hit print. Therefore, I hit print and then do not save the document, so when I go back to look over it, I have huge chunks missing, or a shorter, choppier piece then I ended with.
I keep telling myself not to do it, but for whatever reason, I still do it each and EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I. WRITE. Well, I'm basically here to announce what it is that I'll soon be publishing.
For a friend's birthday last June, I, being a poor college student, and my friend Gooch, really wanted to get our friend something that was unique and fun and specifically for her. Target giftcards are awesome, but anyone can buy them and then the person receiving it knows exactly how much they're worth to you.
Gooch and I wanted to gift our friend Gruffy with something she would treasure forever. So, we decided to make her a story book. Gooch is a fucking fantastic artist. Really, she rocks the fuck out of everything she does. Here, I'll show you some samples:

 That is a drawing she did, which is awesome. I have to fight the urge to steal it from her. She's also a pretty bitchen photog. My profile pic is one she took of me, and she didn't make me look hideous, which is really fantastic. (If you are thinking that I look hideous in that picture, I'm not going to argue with you.) And that little pic wedged down there (you'll have to tilt your head--DAMN YOU, WINDOWS MEDIA GALLERY wouldn't flip it for me) is also one of hers. Like I said, awesome. Here's her blog: The Gooch Goodness. She updates once in a blue moon, but she's also worth listening to.

Well, anyways, back to the present. I love to write. I could write about anything and anyone and I will if you ask me to. Right now, I am working on something called Zombie: A Love Story, which is going to be a short story I'll be working on this summer. But, again, back to the present.
Gruffy's two favorite things are vampires and Nicolas Cage. So, I wrote her a story in which Nicolas Cage is a vampire. Gooch illustrated it. Gruffy loved it, but also so did Gooch and I. So, for Gooch's birthday in August, I wrote another story. This time, I added Keanu Reeves and a host of other characters I knew would make my friends laugh. The second story was, to toot my own horn, better than the first. Gruffy and Gooch LOVED the second story and so I wrote them a third for Christmas. By the time I was writing the third story, and had broken through the forty page mark, I realized that though I could never actually publish these (Believe me, if you read them they're full of libelous crap lawsuits are made of), I could show them here to those who wanted some entertainment. I recently finished the fourth and final story (as of right now) and as I compiled everything together, the stories are well over 100 pages.
To me, it seemed like such a waste to have them sit in a Document and rot, when there might, possibly, be other people in the world who could get some enjoyment out of them. I'll be seeing Gruffy again soon, and I'm going to borrow her book, scan all the pages and pics into Gooch's computer, and then post them on this site. I do so only hoping anyone who reads them does simply for enjoyment. I'll post another...erm, I guess it's a warning label later.
So, that is basically what you'll have to look forward to, besides my crazy rants about life in general. Also, once Zombie: A Love Story is completed, I'll post it on here. If you can't tell, I love zombies!!
This poster is hells on my wishlist, son.
