Now, what we've got going on in this series of pictures is what happens when Disney decides to make a new Winnie the Pooh movie. Apparently, Justin has it bad for Winnie the Pooh, and was all giddy about going to see the new movie when it came out in theaters. So we had already made plans to go to the theater the day it opened and all that jazz. But I had a little surprise for him when he came home from school that day.

Pooh shirt and Hunny pot!

I searched for days beforehand trying to find just a plain red t-shirt with "Pooh" written on it in the classic Pooh style, but somehow it didn't exist! So I ended up making one myself. I just got a red tshirt at Walmart and made a stencil using some cardboard and fabric painted it on. The Hunny pot is actually a blueberry-scented candle that I painted "HUNNY" on.

And here is Justin's priceless reaction when he got home. :)


And
Complete
Utter
Happiness

He wore the shirt to the movie, and carried the Hunny jar the whole time, and little kids were pointing at him all, "It's Winnie the Pooh!" Freaking adorable.

Today's post is an interesting one for sure. It's a comic I drew that is actually based on the first time me and Justin met. I'll go more into that another time, because it's a unique story in and of itself. But this comic took place the day after our first meeting, in a food court at a mall around 2 in the morning.

The actual sequence of events is indeed hidden within this puzzle of a possibility poster, for you to figure out for yourselves.

The link is going to take you to the image on my deviantArt account, cause it's too darn big and I can't fit the whole image in the blog XD



Here we have another stunning image to add to the Justin Sleeps Weird gallery of art.

Pose like you mean it, hooker.

How the man sleeps like this, I have no idea. And yes, you're totally allowed to make fun of the Wall-e comforter :)

So the other day, my room mate Joan started showing this blog around to the people she works with. And at least one of them actually said, "Jeez, does this girl even LIKE her boyfriend?"

Of course I do! I love my boyfriend! I do this blog BECAUSE I like him. Let me show you something...

-The Internet

That really sums it up, ladies and gents, so much that I'm permanently making this quote part of the blog's layout (on the little sidebar on the right). And on that note, how about a little weirdness from Justin?

WHAT YEAR IS IT???

January 16, 2012


A while back, I made a silly little comic called Gamer Boyfriends, where I make fun of the internet webcomic stereotype of guy gamers. Namely, the stereotype that gamer boys will ignore boobs and booty calls for the sake of popping a cap in a digital character's ass. Or, in Justin's case, killing just one more dragon in Skyrim. Contrary to the stereotype, Justin will in fact leave a video game for the chance to get a little Sarah time, as this comic demonstrates.


What happened afterwards, no one could have anticipated. I posted this on my deviantArt page, and after a few weeks, someone posted it to reddit. Oh my god. On a good day, I MIGHT get about a thousand hits on a really popular picture. This picture got about 75,000 hits in TWO DAYS. Because it was posted on reddit. 

And let me tell you, the people on reddit did not take this lightly. It seemed like every guy posting on there was trying to defend the stereotype. I was reading lines like, "I completely ignored my girlfriend for like two weeks after Skyrim came out," and, "REALISTICALLY, he SHOULD have told his online friends he was going away for a minute, and then GENTLY set down his peripherals," and even guys who swore up and down that they would never ever stop in the middle of a video game to go have sex with their girlfriends. And there were girls who were saying, "My boyfriend is totally the internet stereotype. It's like I don't even exist when he's playing video games."

Honestly, it was a little depressing to read. I'm not saying every guy should throw down his controller when his lady wants a little nookie. But the fact that so many guys would ignore a real-life lady with real-life boobs for the sake of a pretend game with imaginary characters and digital boobs makes me sad for them.

But I digress. Really, the important part here is that, in addition to all these crazy and depressing comments from lonely single gamer boys, there were also posted a lot of "fixed" versions of my comic. People would take my comic into Photoshop (or more likely MS Paint) and alter it a little bit to make it "more accurate." Some of these are actually pretty darn funny, even if they usually portray Justin in a "FOREVER ALONE" kind of light. So I'm going to share them with you.

You can see the full-sized comics after the pagebreak at the end of the post!

 

In addition to the whole stereotype drama, the internet community was also upset that I "drew the characters wrong." Apparently there's no way that a chubby gamer guy like Justin could land a hot redheaded girlfriend. Any of the comments that weren't going on about how gamer guys can't be expected to put down their controller every time their lady wants a little company in the bedroom, were saying that I needed to be fat and ugly to make any of this comic even remotely accurate.

And if THAT wasn't enough, they even started a several-page-long debate over the terminology of "According to the Internet." They claimed that, because I posted my comic on the internet, then both sides of the comic were according to the internet. They even made a Philosoraptor about it.

Redditors obviously have too much time on their hands.

So, in the end, I made a funny comic, offended a lot of sad lonely people, and got mad amounts of pageviews on my deviantArt page because of it. Win? I think so.

P.S. Thank you, Justin, for being the kind of guy who will put down his controller to spend some time with his girlfriend. I guess I really lucked out with you. <3
