Seppuku

So, apparently I committed an atrocious faux pas. Fortunately I avoided committing ritual suicide - I'm too pretty for God to let me die. It would have made updating the comic a little difficult, zombie hands aren't nearly dexterous enough, even considering how badly I draw. It turns out Wheeze prefers to spell her name Wease or Weasey which reminds me of Weasley but is probably still better than Wheeze. Yesterday night Vess and Wease came over and watched Garden State and Emperor's New Groove instead of going into the city. All because they love me. So yeah, I rule. After the movies we were watching Made on MTV and one episode was about a girl who used to be a Tom-Boy but wanted to be changed into a Girlie Girl. The metamorphosis was so successful that in less than six weeks she was a fully fledged super-bitch. One of the things her mother said to her really pissed me off “Oh you’ve made me so happy.” Like the old her wasn’t good enough but now that she’s changed you’re happy.

It reminded me of watching a cheesy talk show, I think it was called Morey. Basically the premise of the show is mothers bringing in their Tom-Boy daughters so Morey can lay a big fat guilt-trip all over them. I can't quote him word for word because it was ages ago but he says shit like:

"But you're a girl why don't you dress like one?"
"Don't you want to look attractive?"
"Don't you want to make your mother happy?"
"Can't you see how your behaviour is hurting your mother?"

Seriously what the fuck is that? When did it become a child’s sole purpose in life to please their parents? What kind of asshole does that? Who invests so much of their happiness in how their child dresses? Fuck people are so stupid. I'm lucky my parents had two children prior to my birth and considerably lowered expectations.

Besides most of the girls looked better as tom-boys. There's a lot to be said for the jeans/t-shirt combo.
