Well, Im a nineteen year old chick from Pennsylvania.
…
Aside from that, anything I’d have to say sounds a bit creepy. :D
Blurbs
Yeah, while I’ve mostly written game books and regular prose, I wrote a Marvel limited series called Ptolus that came out last year and just two weeks ago my issue of Boom! Studios Zombie Tales came out. And there’s more in the works! Thanks for asking.

Heh, it’s someone I havent seen on the forum.
Comic writer?
Sorta. Every time someone says, “I don’y believe in ninjas,” a ninja kills them with a grapefruit spoon.
Gin said:
hm… ya know how everytime someone says “I dont believe in fairies” one dies?
…
Is that true for /ninjas/ too?
We could test it.
- Ninjas are elite.
- Things become elite by being in limited quantities
- If we say “I don’t believe in ninjas” and that does work, eventually we’ll get all of them.

I like your comic. It’s simple and you aren’t being clichéd. Keep it up and don’t try to overwork yourself (the number 2 cause of death of webcomics, just behind the number one cause, shiney objects).
FYI, the people sitting at the desks in the Pi comic look like they’re not wearing any pants. :)
I meant, we can read snippets of your blog posts on the frontpage, but the blog isn’t showing on your profile page for some reason. Maybe you have it for friends only. That way, I read about a webcomic on the snippet, but it cuts off before I get a link. Quite a teaser… :D
Gin said:
you’ll notice in my latest post ‘the site’ is a hyperlink. There are two strips up to read, three by now, and I’m updating it on mondays and thursdays for now. I’ll move to m/w/f in a couple weeks if I can get myself movin again. :)
so I keep reading tiny blog posts on the front page, stuff about a webcomic and I come here and nothing to read, that’s not nice, not nice at all :p
I wanna see that webcomic!!! ;)
> wanted to ask you if you’d mind me using your line about preferring a good word processor to human company
Sure! As long as you don’t misquote me. It’s “text editor”, not “word processor”. ;)
Gin said:
Who is people I know (kinda)…
btw, wanted to ask you if you’d mind me using your line about preferring a good word processor to human company.
ANYway…
What is just stupid lines like that in no particular story order.
Hey! I think a webcomic is a great idea… but, especially in such a small format… the writing is incredibly important. Maybe you should figure out what or who or even just a theme you’d be writing about.
Indeed. What RSS reader are you using? Google Reader is rather great if you haven’t tried it yet.
Gin said:
Heh. I figgered this was a good place to START using RSS… I’d never figgered out how to work it before, and what better place to try, than somewhere I check daily anyway?
I did delete it… Blast you for using RSS. I forget why I did, but… Yep.
Gin said:
Dude… Did YOU delete your last blurb or is HI glitching? I see it on my RSS feed, and I snorted myself near off my chair… but ish not showin anywhere else.
…
and 3 days is nothin when you have an excuse (marathons, box sets of a series you want to get thru, addiction to a series of books/comics, or being unable to peel your eyes off your computer screen for long enough to go to bed all constitute good reasons in my book).
Unless you work outdoors or fastfood, then it’s gross regardless.
Yeah. I get that pretty often… “You smell like a smelly goth-dork!”.
Gin said:
It’s social, it’s just a different LEVEL of social.
Honestly, I kinda think conversations via the internet (NOT consisting of “LOL” “ROTFLMAO” and “OMGWTFBBQ”) tend to be a better level of socializing than in person- cause there’s none of that “You look like a dork” “You look like a goth” “you look/smell like you need a bath” barriers. -
Hey, saw you were into Wolverine a bit and was wondering if you checked out the new logan book?I’m not a fan of Wolverine usually, but Logan #1 that came out last week was AMAZING. I would highly reccommend you pick up #1 and stay with it for the run (its only going to be a 3 issue mini), but if you love historical settings/twist with the Wolverine, Logan #1 is damn good. The writing in it is fantastic as well, Brian K. Vaughn does a flawless job, and his work really reads well in issues. http://heavyink.com/comic/3168-Logan-1
Regarding “Anita Blake: Guilty Pleasures,” I really liked it when I picked it up, but I hadn’t read any of her books, so there were points where it was very confusing to me. Was it me or were there times where it’s really hard to remember who is on who’s side? Those vampires seemed to be switching teams every other minute.
Eh… Interweb-related conversation doesn’t count as being social. In fact, I think it adds to the anti-socialness. :P
Gin said:
duuuude… it’s kinda creepy that the self proclaimed anti-social one is the one who’s posted the most on my blurbs…
weeiiird.
I guess I should scroll down more often. Whoops. I miss Pennsylvania for my friends and family… for the rampant wilderness… and for Sheetz.
Otherwise, screw PA. :P
Gin said:
I think that was the first blurb you left me, actually. :) I’ve never been to harrisburg. Hell, the only real “cities” I’ve been to while living here are Bethlehem, Allentown, and Gettysburg…
…
Rev. War soldiers in pajamas, y’mean… I wouldn’t call some of those outfits ninja suits. Too bulky, movement inhibiting, and lack of silence in motion.
Ahhh. Well thats fair. Naruto does make me want to punch children. :) First of all, ninjas do not take turns attacking each other! Ninjas appear next to you while you’re sleeping and slit your throat! What is this nonsense!? Its like they dressed up Revolutionary War-era soldiers in Ninja suits and said… Here, pretend to be ninjas.
Gin said:
aww, c’mon Ty… would “I prefer vampires” be better than Pirates? Cause that’s true too… Ninja’s are still awesome. My friends going gaga for naruto just kinda killed them for me for a while…
Gin said:
… wow. That is a scary thought, actually. MAI braaain… nu ninjas allowed.
Im partial to pirates anyway. ^^;
It would only be a ninja blurb if you didn’t see it. I guess a ninja blurb would be like… telepathy. A post-it note on your cerebellum, if you will.
Gin said:
Ahhh… see, the slight differences are lost on me unless I’m the one using them to wheedle my way out of/into something. But wouldn’t that be a ninja blurb then…?
You didn’t. The ninja left you a blurb. Slightly different. ;)
Gin said:
It aint Ninja if I see it. Xp
I just recently realized that the word pants is an abbreviation of pantaloons. Pantaloons make everything better.
Gin said:
What do your pants enhance? Are they the pants of dance? The pants of prance? The lost pants of France?
Sorry. Couldnt resist.
Well… Pretty numbers and symbols are nice too. :)
Gin said:
…no thank you, luv… its been over a year since my last math course. I cant make heads nor tails out of it now… not without help, or at least a nudge in the right direction. Lambda prolly stands for something, we hadnt gotten to yet… f is usually the function in question… Id have to know what Im trying to do with it to even get my mind started.
Otherwise it’s just pretty numbers/symbols to me. :$
Well, that notation is Lambda Calculus. Its not mind-bending in a mathematical sense, but in a computational sense. Try to read and understand it and you’ll get what I mean…
Gin said:
Awww… Short attention spans are wonderful, no? Heh. Thanks tho, cause none of my friends got on last night. The bastards got lives when I left FL.
Not really mindbending… Math’s the one thing that if explained to me I actually GET. AP Calc. was a breeze. :D
What you don’t know is that each time you visit my profile and read the work “ninja”, I kill a little piece of you.
Gin said:
I cant tell anyone, but you’ll display it proudly in your profile, hmm? What if I dont tell, but just send them your way? Hmmm?
My obsessions are short-lived. This one… shorter than most. (3 hours)
Gin said:
That, and you already broke it there. That wasn’t haiku. :D
In short, it allows you to call a function from within itself without knowing its name. Its just pretty and somewhat mindbending.
Gin said:
I am blind… My glasses attest to it. I cant even make out the headings on my computer without the damned things.
But also, I am completely coding illiterate, and I haven’t had a math course in over a year. Not sure what that is… I’m gonna go make my geeks explain it to me now…
No, you are also not who I think you are. I’m not who you think I am. I’m not who I think I am. But Tyler is the Narrator.
Gin said:
Hmmm… if I’m not who I think I am, am I who YOU think I am? Then if I don’t know you, do ‘I’ cease to exist, since you don’t think anything about me?
(is grinning like the idiot she really is)Hi. I’m bored. So I’m going around talking to random people since the few forums I frequent have been dead lately. :D
When people called the card shop for rulings, we yelled at you to get a computer. :) That’s where we were looking it up, even in tournaments. Even in the big tournaments (for the harder rulings). The only real reason we need to KNOW more rules in our head is so that we can make rulings FASTER.
Its also not syllables, but sounds. But whatever. I may not be able to talk about love with regards to programming… but I can certainly talk about beauty.
Y = λf·(λx·f (x x)) (λx·f (x x))
Yes. The Y-Combinator. I had this written on my arm for a few weeks. If you cannot see beauty in that.. you truly are blind.
Gin said:
Haiku! XD Why dont you make it easy and add in Tanka, too? Or harder and try to make it all rhyme! A traditional Haiku is usually tied into balance or nature or love or all of the above or something, tho… so… Kinda hard to do in programming, no? I don’t care WHAT language you use…
Yes. . . I am indeed a ninja. Tell anyone and I’ll kill. And them. Not a bad idea if you want someone dead that badly.
Gin said:
NINJA!!!!
Of course.
I thought about adding some other snarky comment here… but everything I thought of was lame. So… …yeah.
Gin said:
heh… can I add that line to my little hoarde of “quotes from people that make me laugh” notebook? Cause it’s true. Of all but one of the programmers I know.
You won’t hear me complain about anti-social behavior. Come on, I’m a programmer. I prefer the company of a good text editor to that of people.
Gin said:
Oh, Im havin fun. :D Just mostly by browsin around drooling over issues I want to get the money for or readin thru the forum and laughing at everyone. ^^ I’ll get social eventually, I swear!
