My so-called spare time!

Oh lord. I'm afraid I've bitten off more than I can chew.

I'm working on a lot of projects right now, and I just can't squeeze GWS in this week. I'm sorry, guys. I swear all of these delays will be worth it by fall this year.

But for now, I'm afraid the underwear party will have to wait until next week. And THAT, my friends, I shall make worth your while, too ;)

And without further ado, I give you yet another interactive entry! Please click here if you'd like to contribute to the future of GWS with a simple "yay" or "nay!"

Do I have to say more to get you to click? I DO?? Okay. Tee shirts.

Tees and Teases

I know I say it all the time, but... you guys rule :) Thanks to everyone who's been contributing to the GWS tee-shirt poll! If you wanna vote for your favorite(s), check out the choices and e-mail me with your numbers!

The poll essentially ends at the end of this month, which is when I should be hacking out the finished and polished products. So get your votes in today!

Aaaaaaaaaaaand in case you're curious... I won't give away ALL of the votes, but I'll tell you now that McPedro appears to be everyone's favorite. McPedro says "thank you" for this. He feels like a... a...

... a heavyweight champion.

On to teases...

I'm sure you'll all be pleased to know that the Underwear Party arc will be sticking around for awhile, and there will be far more than just Jamie's jigglies to look forward to. Stick around for more surprises!!

See ya Thursday!

Hell-o Maureen!

Everybody welcome the Blog Girl back. "Hi, Blog Girl!"

And did I mention? No, I didn't.

I forgot to THANK YOU people for being so patient with me last week. Back to a normal GWS schedule! Yay!

Oh, and I'll finally have goodies to show you guys soon, to prove that I haven't just been drinking the hours away the past month, as I'm sure several of you had assumed...

Oh, the DRAMA!!

Told you there's more to this arc than just undies. ;)

I have some really cool news I've been keeping from y'all lately that I think I'd finally like to share. But first...

I have yet another big favor to ask my favoritest people in the whole wide world (yes, that'd be you guys and gals): anybody use Verizon?

I'm on a family plan with... well, with my family, because in case you haven't checked the rates for cell phone services lately, it's RIDICULOUSLY expensive for just one person to be on a plan.

We recently switched from Sprint to Verizon. Which means I had to get a new phone. Which means I had to DITCH my beautiful, three-pound brick of a phone that I used when we had Sprint...

... to swap with a new Verizon-friendly phone...

Now, I realize MOST people would be RELIEVED to get rid of their clunky old phone (which, at the time, was miraculously tiny compared to our old pack phone!). However, I'm going NUTS with this new phone. I absolutely hate it. I can't wedge it between my shoulder and my ear. I can't hear people as well. I can't pick a cool background. I can't... I can't... I can't FRICKIN' FIND it! ... oh, there it is.

Well, more importantly, I can't USE it. I mean, I CAN, but it's far less danielle-friendly than my old clunky Sprint one. The biggest complaint I have is that I can't seem to turn off ALL of the sounds - ringer, voice mail notification, etc. - with just one button. If I go into a quiet restaurant or a movie theather, I'll have to sit and turn off each sound, one by one, first. THAT, and I have to type in a password in order to check my damn messages! What's WITH that?! I don't have anything to hide! Why would I care if someone could check my messages?! I lead a far less interesting life than most would like to think! There's NOTHING they could find on my cell messages that could POSSIBLY excite them!! WHO CHECKS OTHER PEOPLE'S MESSAGES, ANYWAY??!!

*pant pant*

Right. So where do you guys come in? Two questions for fellow Verizon users:

Does anybody have this phone and know how to change the above probs?

If this phone is a certified piece o' crap, is there a BETTER Verizon phone you could suggest that I could trade this in for?

Alright, thanks guys. E-mail me if you've got any bright ideas.

...

What's that? OH, right. I promised you some gossip. First, a riddle.

What starts with "M" and ends in "ARVEL?"

:)

The news is that I've been inking a Marvel book for the past few weeks. Wanna know which one?

Hehe... "package..."

Just a quick "thank you" to all who've helped me with the phone trouble! I'm going to go trade in my certified piece o' crap phone next week. Update to come.

Welcome to my outrageous, exciting life! <--*update: SARCASM

Meantime... I'd like to thank my GWS tee voters, and my Verizon sympathisers, and all those people who have sent me advice on ailing cacti and cartoonists with a cold and just plain old "I -heart- GWS" e-mails. I have a treat for you... if anybody's interested in a GWS desktop. :)

I'll have you know that this is what's on MY desktop :) You guys have more than earned it - enjoy!!
