I’m hesitant to include other people in TIWID strips
it’s so easy for me to say the wrong thing

Author’s Note
Between my spotty memory, short attention span, and general failure to understand how one keeps themselves in good social standing, I sometimes say things I shouldn't. When it's about other people, ANYTHING could be “something I shouldn't say.”

I'm not built for survival. I'll certainly try my damnedest, of course. My damnedest just won't mean very much.

I'll a buy a new sketchbook before I finish the old one, to avoid running out of clean pages
as a result, I have sketchbooks with empty pages that I'd skipped to start drawing in the new ones
IMAGE
a sketchbook
Author’s Note On the plus side, I also constantly forget about this, so if I'm ever looking through an old sketch book, I find bonus paper!

so I’ve never been an only child

a baby, and an incomplete sketch of a child next to it
Author’s Note
So I can't draw guys, and apparently I also can't draw small children proportionately to babies. We're two years and a couple months apart

I usually use a fake name online
TIWID is my first project made public with my real name
IMAGE
The author, kneeling, and holding a blank mask with a question mark on it partially in front of her face
Author’s Note
The reason I use a fake name is that as a kid I didn't realize that fame and anonymity are, for the most part, mutually exclusive. It was my plan that I'd publish books and art under the fake name, and nobody would know who I really was to bother me about it. But I really like my fake name, so if I can ever motivate myself to write/illustrate anything, I may still do that.Â
Updated Author’s Note
Since deciding to upload TIWID to tumblr, I’m back to using my fake name. You could try looking up the original TIWID, but it’s not even on the first five pages of Google and doesn’t even use my full name, just my initials and maiden name.

my friends are great

The author and a roommate. The roommate is yelling about a bager, until the author deduces that he actually means a beaver.
Author’s Note
Lesson of the day: beavers are not badgers, and there's a damn good reason I don't draw much requiring perspective.

Did this at around 4:30am after getting home from the midnight showing of Harry Potter 6. All sorts of magical happy love to anyone who actually knows what game I'm quoting. For the rest of you, a hint: it's not actually a zombie game, as the mindless are possessed, not undead.

even tough TIWID updates daily
I don't actually draw a page a day
I draw  multiple pages every few days and schedule the updates accordingly

Author’s Note
Today's comic, the two before it, and the one after it were all done on the same day. I prefer doing multiple pages per day because that way, even when I slack off for days on end, I’m still ahead of the game.

I wear men’s shorts
because they fit better and have more pocket space
IMAGE
A tiny pair of shorts, with the note “no room for... anything!”
A large pair of cargo shorts, with the note “room for wallet, phone, and entire Tolkien Trilogy”
Author’s Note
The problem with women's shorts that are allegedly “my size” is that anything with the right waist is too tight around the thigh and doesn't even reach my knees, and anything long enough would fit one of me in each leg. Men's shorts, however, fit fantastically and actually have enough pocket space for things like, say, MY HANDS. I'm convinced that pockets on women's shorts are only there for show. The fact that some shorts have FAKE POCKETS only makes me more right.

I get most of my “girl fix” from scented household items
shampoo, conditioner, candles, soap, lotion... I have favorite brands, too

Author’s Note
Specifically, the brands I prefer are Suave Naturals shampoo & conditioner, candles from Yankee Candle, and soaps and lotions from Bath & Body Works
Updated Author’s Note
I have a year’s worth of body wash from Bath & Body works in my bathroom right now and god help me, I want more. I’ve gotten my husband addicted to their “man scents,” too. Muwahaha.

I’m not exactly feminine
but I still do my nails sometimes
IMAGE
A hand. The nails are in color, green with a thin purple stripe down the middle.
Author’s Note
It's more because I enjoy playing with colors than for any real need to feel “made up” or look nice. And it usually takes insane boredom to even make me consider it.

loud noises upset me
I hate thunderstorms
IMAGE
Lightning striking in front of a tree. Due to the art style it is difficult to tell if the tree is leafy or there are simply more clouds behind the tree.
Author’s Note
And it's not even the lightning. It's the thunder itself. It's just unnerving.Â
Updated Author’s Note
I have very mixed feelings towards thunderstorms these days. Sometimes I love them, sometimes I hate them. Surprise lightning or thunder is unappreciated, though. Bah.

I never understood the point in playing hard to get
since when is lying an appropriate way of pursuing a relationship?

Author’s Note
Seriously. What sort of relationship do you expect if you're not even together and yet your intended partner is already jerking you around on a string and being dishonest about how they feel?
