I started this little storyline so it is only worthy of our dear readership that I continue and finish it, despite some of the hard truths I find within.
Barbara knows me quite well, and she also knows how closed off I can be. But can you blame me? The world we live in can be mean and its people cruel, so as you go through this thing called life you do develop things to protect yourself. When and where do you find a balance if such a thing even exists? And I talk about this to Barb a lot because as she revealed in that little exchange, she’s a lawyer.
I think that’s the only fault I can find with her.
Many people point, incorrectly I believe, that people who like comics are introverts by nature. Yes, we have a lot of introverts who enjoy this medium, but then I will point to all the Comic Con related activities that are quite social in nature and the people who attend them. Those people just go for it and you see the joy in their faces when they can dress up like their favorite character or meet their favorite creator. It’s really incredible to see.
With that said do I really take glee in the misery of others? No.
Unless the miserable person is Curt.
Okay I will stop now.
