I’ve made a comic (for my new book) out of all the dates I’ve had for the past 3 months and I’m realizing that the only reason I want to go on dates anymore is to make a comic out of them. so hopefully they’re all really bad so I can have a good story
looking, always looking for reasons to get excited about dating again
easy, free ways to add fun in your day
. transfer into/out of your wheelchair from the opposite direction.
. fall to the ground and get back in your chair with your eyes closed.
. take apart/reassemble your wheelchair (to drive a car) without bending your wrists.
. caterpillar-rolling into bed from your collaterally parked wheelchair
sometimes - rarely, but sometimes - paralyzed people have more fun
good thing Dad dated 400 girls in high school/college because some of them are buying my book now
my friend frowny-Brenda at the post office
used to only frown at me.
but last time I went in there I called her “my girl” and she smiled - I saw she has braces.
today I went in and called said “hello pretty girl” and “I’m happy to see you” and she smiled BIGGER, I saw she has rubber bands in her braces.
I don’t know what the next step is. I might have to kiss her soon
progress: I invited her to my party (she couldn’t come but accepted the invitation with a smile), she waves to me when I come in, remembered Achilles’ name, and remembered my name.
moral of the story: learning people’s names makes a difference&accelerates friendship. I didn’t even have to kiss her but I still might
(jk) (or am I?)
my publisher said that I’ve thrown more book parties then any of his other authors (another party happening next week, too). I love parties who is surprised.
I was at Career Day at elementary school last week and the kids wrote me THANK YOU NOTES (9 of them). This made me happy 🎀
Good news for my (3) Tumblr followers:
I’ve been going back in time and making comic strips of tumblr posts, ultimate goal of making it into a book. (Some funny, some serious, some sad, etc. It’s a good mix)
TODAY I SHOWED IT TO MY PUBLISHER AND HE APPROVED MY IDEA FOR A SECOND BOOK.
Exciting, fun, lots more work to do. Love you, babies
I have an attractive man volunteering at all of my sports teams. This is a thing now, I guess.
Rowing: Tim. He knows I think he’s a babe but hasn’t asked me on a date. My interest is fading.
Tennis: CJ. He knows I think he’s a babe but “unfortunately I have a girlfriend.” okay, fine.
Lacrosse: Colin. Tonight was the first practice so I’ll give it 2 more weeks until he knows I think he’s a babe. I am too obvious/there’s no such thing as a “keep to yourself” with these people. it’s pretty fun.
Handcycling: first practice is mid July. My hopes are high.
sometimes I fill up Achilles’ (completely dry) water bowl or (totally empty) food bowl and she drinks/eats for 5 immediate minutes after it’s filled. it makes me angry
I was interviewed by CBS6 today, snorted in so many shots.
let’s
see
if they cut that out.
This is a test.
one snort, one big ol’ snort at the beginning of the video. perfect and beautiful

on a smaller scale
my happiness is measured by how many places I can sing Beyoncé out loud (like, loud). Right now, 3: my house, my car, in the neighborhood on my handcycle. searching for a man who will love my singing voice then I will peak. searching, still searching
I thought mom was eating potato chips and I was wondering why she was so hungry but I opened my eyes and it is raining
I don’t accept friend requests from people I don’t know on Facebook anymore (lesson learned: there is definitely such thing as a wheelchair fetish) so I just let the requests sit in my inbox to see how many will add up.
as of today, 21. Twenty one! some of them have sent me creepy sexual messages as follow up, but most are just other people in wheelchairs - trying to be “in community” maybe. it’s a nice effort but I’m scared of the fetish
Achilles and I made the Randolph-Macon alumni magazine (the fame, the fortune). I sent them the picture of Achilles screaming. just as a joke
