Trying to get things back on track around here (and everywhere else). In other news hey did you know something I wrote is going to be in a book? One of the editors, Tom Leger, did an interview this week that perhaps you should read! You should also read Red Durkin‘s interview by the same folks – she doesn’t mention the book (something she wrote is in it too!) but she’s kind of my favorite person. She was recently in a show called the Fully Functional Cabaret, which you can watch online – I posted about it on my tumblr so yes the links are there!
Thanks for reading!

↓ TranscriptERIC: Nhi sounds like a great girl.
WREN: Uuuugh she really is.
ERIC: It also sounds like her leaving had nothing to do with you.
WREN: No, it really didn’t.
ERIC: But that’s what bothers you, right? That she didn’t think about how you’d feel if she split town?
WREN: ...I just feel really stupid for thinking I was important.
ERIC: Wren, when people don’t put other’s feelings first, it’s not always because they don’t care about them.
WREN: Isn’t that what caring about people is? I wouldn’t do that to her.
ERIC: You don’t think you would. But let me tell you, darling daughter -when people who care about you hurt you, it usually isn’t because they’re mean or evil. It’s because they’re people. And people are big messes.
WREN: So... I shouldn’t feel foolish because everyone is a mess?
ERIC: You got it.
WREN: That doesn’t make me feel very good about people.
ERIC: I think you underestimate the beauty of messes.
This is a really beautiful strip <3
Wren’s dad is awesome, as is his entire speech about People Are Messes.
Nup, haven’t stopped wanting Wren’s dad to adopt me.
I don’t know why, but I keep thinking he needs an old-school Enterprise emblem on that top…
