I'm not thin-skinned. I'm no-skinned. And as such, I've become smart enough to by and large remove myself from situations and people which can set me off. I have open wounds still yet to heal and these people are salt. But still, all I need is a little off-handed and innocent comment from somebody regarding the salt people, something along the lines of "oh, you heard so-and-so is seeing one another now, right?" and all of a sudden I feel like Rhodes at the end of DAY OF THE DEAD (or the guy with the glasses in SHAUN OF THE DEAD; his last scene was an homage to Rhodes). Oy. Am I being smart to avoid these people/situations or am I just displaying avoidance behavior for something that I should deal with head-on?

On second though, ooo look, a meme! A shiny, safe meme!

So yesterday at the comic shop my boss Peter and I were putting away the new shipment. He handed me a pile that was clearly too big and said:

PETER: Oh, sorry, that's the new GHOST RIDER issues piled with the new SUPERGIRL issues.
ME: Oh, two crappy tastes that taste crappy together.
PETER: Hey, that was pretty funny. You should be a writer.
ME: ... I hate you, Peter.

So I just got my Washington College yearbook in the mail. Did my mom order it? Do graduating seniors get it for free? I have no idea. I just read through it.

I'm not in it.

I am nowhere to be found in the entire yearbook. Ok, so did I just totally miss all the e-mails about how graduating seniors can send in pictures and write something? Maybe I deleted them as spam. But even that aside, there are no pictures or mentions of me anywhere in the entire book. Well, ok, my name is listed in the Middle Hall roster, but where the hell am I in that picture? Oh, wait, that picture was taken during Birthday Ball. I know exactly where I was, in my room watching Justice League. It was a good episode, too, Doomsday came back. BUT STILL!

Not anywhere in the entire yearbook. Not one single picture of me. Jesus, I was in four shows that year, you'd think that might've made an impression!

Maybe this shouldn't be so, but this is highly disconcerting.
