General Life Update (Covid-19, Twitter, April Fools, etc....
5 years ago
Okay, so... where to start?
Well, I should start off I'm doing okay considering everything. Considering how close I live to NYC, the coronavirus hitting my area pretty badly. Fortunately, neither me nor any of my family are showing symptoms and we're doing our best to self-isolate.
That being said, the company I work for makes machines that go mostly to medical and pharmaceutical manufacturers, meaning we're considered an essential business and I still have to leave for work five days a week. I know I shouldn't complain about still having a job considering how unemployment is skyrocketing right now, but I can't help but worry about getting the virus and unknowingly passing to my parents. For what it worth, our supervisor has issued strict social distancing policies in the workplace and we're doing everything we can to flatten the curve.
I hope everyone reading this is doing okay as well. Whether you're doing essential work, working from home, or just chilling, waiting for your government stimulus check, we're gonna be in this together for the long haul, so don't give up hope.
Also, on a sidenote, I know it's April Fools Day and pranks are bound to come about, but for the love of God, DO NOT JOKE ABOUT HAVING THE CORONAVIRUS!!! There's nothing wrong with having a dark sense of humor, but joking about the virus while it's still out there ruining lives is kind of problematic at the very least. I read once that the best pranks "confuse rather than abuse" and as someone who been bullied, I take that to heart.
You shouldn't expect anything from me in terms of pranks or jokes today. Of course, that's exactly what someone would say if they were going to pull a prank, but I'm being serious. I was planning on writing the joke chapter for "A Prelude to Perversion" but between real life and all the other short stories I was working on, it didn't come to fruition. In it, right before Perci takes Pat's virginity, she asks him for about tree-fiddy and Pat realizes she's actually the Loch Ness Monster. Funny shit!
Hopefully, I can make it up to with some of the art I have waiting in the wings. I just won a YCH by the talented
foxovh that'll feature Perci, so I'm currently writing something for that when they finish it. The exquisitely exhibitionistic 
furfragged gifted me with a few sketches of Patrigue doing what he does best (streaking), so I'll be sure to upload them once I've written something for them as well. And finally, I have two milestone-themed pieces from the always lovely 
WingedWilly, both featuring all three of my characters. One will be posted whenever I reach 500 watchers here on FA, and the other will be posted whenever I reach 200 followers on Twitter. I'm only 5 followers away from 200, so I'd suggest that you follow me there if you don't already, which you can do here

Anyway, that's all I have to say for today. I'm getting by, and hopefully so are you.
Stay naked my friends,

Stay safe, man. Whatever happens, mad respect for keeping it up with such an important job.
Being a truck driver, I gotta watch out when at truck stops because they get crowded and I don't want to catch something and take it home. My 70+ year old mom lives next door and I have to go over there a lot to help her with stuff.
Hope you and yours stay safe through this ordeal
