Damn I wish I had more gummi bears. I bought some earlier and, as I said on the Twitter, they were really good. I could have more in a few minutes, as the 7-11 I bought them at is open all night and is right next to my house, but I must resist the temptation to walk back over there and buy more! For one thing, if the same people are working, that's embarrassing, in an admittedly abstract way. Like, I really don't think they'll think twice when they see me in there for the second time tonight buying gummi bears. But suppose they did, suppose they recognized me and recalled that I was just buying some gummi bears a few hours ago, and then it stuck in their mind "Why does he need so many gummi bears? Is he feeding them to a captured alien?" because everyone knows that's what aliens eat: gummi bears.
Gummi appears not to be one of those words that if you type it over and over is loses all meaning, because I just used it six times and it still means gummi. And even though Firefox's spellchecker doesn't recognize that alternate spelling of gummy and it keeps underlining it it still looks perfectly fine to me. I am wholly confident that I am spelling it correctly.
Drunk Duck keeps breaking. I want to take that as a sign that I should finally get around to setting up my own website, but I have no idea how to go about that. I'm always seeing comics people complaining about their web hosts due to having their sites go down for no apparent reason or having shitty customer service or whatever, which I would prefer not to happen. I've never had a proper website before, I used to have various home pages on various free hosts but they always sucked and I gather they suck even more these days. The other day I wondered about an old internet acquaintance and moseyed on over to his site to see if he had perhaps come back from the land of Nod, but no, he hadn't. What I did see while I was over there was his amusingly outdated sidebar links to various comics, including one to the Rambling Crazy Man which points to my Angelfire site from years and years ago. (Also spotted was a broken link to a cool comic called Sidewalk Cred which, after it ended, disappeared from the Internet completely.)
I get very little feedback on my comic (or anything, really) so it's hard to tell if people are enjoying it or even reading it or whatever. I want to say this is part of my currently developing neurotic sense that people are increasingly ignoring me. I don't know if there's a name for it but it is really annoying, like all my mental problems. I came to a realization the other day that the thing that really bugs me about the current trend of characters in media with Asperger's is that there seems to be some notion that they (we, rather) are somehow cute. I can't fucking stand that. Sheldon on the Big Bang Theory is at least written as fairly abrasive, but with a saccharine undertone I find off-putting. If that is the hole those with AS are being pigeoned into, I'd prefer to be left out. Call me something else, I'd prefer not to be labeled at all, but anything but cute. If ever I appear to be cute, just remember that I'm thinking really nasty things about you even if you're trying to sympathize with me. I can't fucking stand it when people sympathize with me. Because regular people have proven to be at least as bad at comprehending my emotional makeup as I am at comprehending theirs, if that sentence can be followed.
Just while writing this I've suddenly developed a headache. Fuck it, I'm going to get some more gummi bears. Put that on my tombstone, while we're at it.
