I have a crush on Joey Comeau.

I just rested my elbow on a pile of bedsheets but I forgot that I had put a nectarine that I had eaten earlier there so I freaked out when I felt something cold and wet on my elbow and now my elbow is sticky and I smelled my elbow and it doesn't even smell like nectarines.

I love you both so much. A softer world is my all time favorite web comic. <3

Yeah, I am an obsessive freak of ASW. But, how could I not be engaged when I hear the words, "Dead Moms, Lesbians and Zombies"

PLUS I HAVE JOEY ON FB. Exclusively. SCORE.

I met Joey and Ryan at TCAF.

Ryan is a towering behemoth. Joey is short as hell.

@doyouwannafight isn't he gay?

[Flowerblood]

@BenjaminLaird - Not really. I met Joey when he came to London last year and he was the nicest, down to Earth guy. I'm not saying that just because I'm a fan, he seemed to be genuine and funny. Y'know, normal. Not artsy, scenester-y or hip. Maybe it takes meeting them to get that, I dunno. The point stands, though: you're wrong.

[Mana3andme]

Love you guys.

@BenjaminLaird hipsters cash in on [semi-pseudo] arty stuff, gansters cash in on drugs, corporate bunnies cash in on pop culture, working class cash in on hard work, priests cash in on religion, chomsky cashes in on middle class guilt.. politicians cash in on EVERYONE :O .. so what is your problem exactly? hipsters finding a niche?

[BenjaminLaird]

wow this is so fuckin' lame! they think they're such artists, they upload a stupid indie photo into a lame template then add text in the font of like old typewriter.

god a fuckin' idiot could do this---hipsters should die. how dare thye make money off this!?

[BenjaminLaird]

annoying hipsters think they're artistic
