Most of my nights are spent watching weird movies. I have the occasional night of sippin' hot chocolate and watching paradise hotel with friends, but I never really go out drinking anymore. I don't have the money and this strange thing has happened where if I have more than 1 or 2 drinks, I feel like barfing...so, basically, I don't drink anymore and it's kinda nice, even though I guess it makes me a little antisocial.

But anyways, watching movies almost every night has been starting to bore me, so I've decided to take up a new hobby: comics and graphic novels!!

I read Ghost World when I was in grade 10, quite a few years before the movie, and it was so relatable to me at the time. You know how generations of teenagers have come to relate to Catcher in the Rye? Well, I feel like Ghost World was my Catcher in the Rye. Kinda made me feel cooler about being a teenage outsider in the mid-90's. I also read quite a few Eightballs, Optic Nerve and I think maybe some Sof' Boy...but, I didn't go any further than that.

I feel like there's a comic revival going on and it's never too late to get into comics. It's not like the 50's, where they were just made for kids and about super heroes, ya know? So, Nuno let me borrow Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth and Bone and then I went out and bought the Best American Comics 2007.

I've already read a few of the comics in this collection and they're great. I'm hoping with this new interest, I'll have reason to bring myself to Toronto's Comic Convention next August, because I've always wanted to go for the experience, but have never felt like a big enough fan of comics to go. 

Anyways, anyone reading who reads comics and could suggest any to me, please do. I'm just a beginner. hehe.
