Boy oh boy, meeting the family again after six months of solitude is like soaking a wound with alcohol, it stings at first, but it eventually it feels good.
First I was assaulted about going back to graduate school, then the questions about if I’m making any money with the website, and finally that good old fashioned praise! But hey, atleast my family’s pretty much aware of what I do, and are actually pretty supportive. So I don’t seem to get that “now… tell me again what you do?” crap I used to get when I was just starting out in college.
Also, I sent out a Christmas Card with personalized comics to nearly all my relatives, so that added onto the lovefest. You can always count on relatives for a good ego trip.
And pizza. Don’t get me started on that. After being trapped in Georgia with OK-at-best pizza, having some real New York Style pizza (actually FROM New York no less) is just a punch in my taste buds. How I love it.
