There's got to be at least one comics nerd on here. Someone explain to me what all these old comics are supposed to be, and why they all have me in them. And before you say "just google it," I did and I couldn't find anything. I have no idea where Retrospec dug these up from. Also, I've got one free ticket to the shooting range I'm willing to share. The only catch is you have to be 18+ and willing to take me too. Let me know if you're interested.

((To view the comics in larger size/more detail, click here. There was no way i was gonna manage to embed that in a DW post. EDIT: also i added a bit to this post at 4/17 11:38 EST because I was a dumbass who forgot to include it originally, sorry for any possible confusion! ))

Well, in that case, you will just have to wait for those joys. I will say that you're missing a little, but not so much that life is not fun without it. Nothing to fret over.

For someone who grew up on a vineyard, you're really laid back about alcohol.

It is just part of a French girl's life is all. We're very accustomed to it, so I suppose that I can be a little blase at times.

[frostythehitman]

Alright alright, let's cool it with the laid back European lifestyle praise. I'm sure it's not that great.

[true_noir]

I would like to think it was pretty great. Living the American Dream was the only reason I gave it up. Hard to own your own florist shop that far from main civilization.

[frostythehitman]

So you had a florist's shop...on a vineyard? In the middle of rural France?

Yeah, that's a little weird.

[true_noir]

Hmmm, no. To be clearer: I always dreamed of a job or running a business that involves caring for and tending plants somehow. I once worked on a vineyard, and when I came to America, I began working at a florist. Sorry that was unclear.

[frostythehitman]

Oh.

So business is booming over here, then?

[true_noir]

Enchanted Blossoms? yes, it's doing well. When I finish college, I hope to open up a shop of my own like it. It's been a joy to work there.

[frostythehitman]

Sounds like you found one of those picture perfect happy endings for yourself over here, then.

[true_noir]

That's the idea, yes. My own little American Dream. Can't think of a better reason to be in America than that.

[frostythehitman]

Well, good luck with it. Kick all those other flowers shops' asses.

[true_noir]

That's the goal, or at least to carve out my own little empire. Thank you for the moral support.
