Coffee With The Princess!
Freakier Than Normal!
**Giggles!**
Once again and recently, I got asked why I laugh so much or even try so hard to get other people to laugh. I simply replied, "It's so much more fun to get people to laugh and enjoy their day than to be miserable!" Now, while usually I get the agreements from people, I have had people who have posted comments here or even said that I shouldn't laugh so much. One in particular comes to mind ... I cannot remember who this guy was ... but he used one disturbing language, nothing I hadn't heard before, but it still left an impression. Very much like a dog-shit stain on a brand new rug. In a case like that, you have a choice: pull up the section of carpet and replace it or try and clean it up as best as you can. In other words, you deal with it. And that is what I choose to do. Plus banning him from my page. In real life and in my professional career, I have a long list of jokes, stories, and other gags to share with people, often stories of my folks trying to get me to grow up and be someone. Usually this being more Mom than Pop. I think Pop just let me be who I am. So I laugh out loud, which can be a rather boisterous laugh, a cute giggle, or even one that used to send my Mom into fits, especially when I snorted. No signature laugh, mind. I just go with the flow.
Over lunch a few weeks ago with some friends, I got asked about my perchance towards laughter and responded just like what I did in the introduction to this entry to the morning coffee. She pointed out that since she's known me for about twenty years now, I have been like this, even back when I was ill, but nowadays, I have stepped hard on the accelerator and I'm working on making up for lost time. Around a mouthful of food, I shrugged. "Perhaps I have turned back the clock on my life and gone back to my teenage days, honey," I offered. "While at a physical age of 54, unmarried and uninterested, I'm free to be me."
"It's really freaky!" one gal grumbled in annoyance. "It's not normal!"
"Why be normal?" I asked to which this gal got up and made some apologies about needing to get back to the office. I watched her go, but a friend of mine offered a sympathetic smile and a reassurance that it's just a stressful time for the gal, things being rough at the office. Going through the mental rolodex, I remembered she worked as a CPA. "Tax time," I agreed.
Now, this change of topics got kicked around for about half an hour by my professional friends, people I have known for a good while as I have worked here air the Firm. So, outside of the lunches together, we really don't get together and just be us. Most of them are married and with kids who are also working on moving out and becoming professionals too. I thought about how things have changed for me over the years, having gotten into being a professional administrative assistant, mostly driving a company car around for deliveries and errands for the Firm where I work and have been for over twenty years now.
So what do I do now?
Well, after getting the money for the last of the properties that Pop owned, I decided to fund a few kickstarter projects. One known as "Freakier Than Normal!", which has been thoroughly delightful to keep up with. I got interested in this project by DarkerEve from Deviant Art who's artwork has thrilled me over the years with the adult nature of the comics and wonderfully intense gals and groovy guy who work and live and deal with life. The comic is known as Jagua Tales and I'm willing to bet that you have seen some of the characters posted around Deviant Art and perhaps on FurAffinity too.
"Freakier Than Normal!" is by Fransisco and the artwork is done by Maximo Montero and, while I just got the digital downloads this morning, I was also told that the backer packages are being packed up and ready for shipping. I'm thoroughly looking forward to getting breakfast this morning and sitting down with the digital comic! Just the artwork alone was enough to get me interested in the comic, even though I only have the barest of ideas about the comic, but I have a general idea about it.
This installment of the series I do is mainly killing some time before breakfast and drinking water to help get me started for the morning. I'll be sure to write more about this wonderful-looking comment, talk more about the artwork, and especially the artwork done of the VIP Backers for the project in which I'm proud to have helped out. Comics have been a good portion of my life and I still dream of sitting down and doing my own, but I'm feeling more of being a writer than an artist these days. The facts of life I suppose, but I will always help out where I can.
Nevertheless, I want to always encourage all of y'all out there to chase your dreams, grab them zealously, and hold them tight against your chest. With your heart beating so strongly, fueling the passion, perhaps you can be someone who influences and inspires those around you.
BE Happy!
Love and Kisses,
Loonia
