The First Blog is Like a Handshake

So here we go: a blog is born this very day! Enter The Jump Seat Pixie, a promising young lady with a tendency to gripe and to doodle...


Looking around the Internet, I couldn't help but notice that if there is one thing we need more of, it's opinionated shut-ins complaining about their lives and pop-culture. What makes me different? Well...I have pictures...

Now, the way I see it, the first blog is like a handshake. You can't come in too strong...
  
And you can't come in too soft...
There has to be a balance of confidence and humility; intelligence and tact; care and chaos...

Unfortunately, my dear readers, I have none of these qualities. I'm the kid who draws battle-axe wielding leprachauns in the blank spaces of her SAT tests. So, I figured, "Hey! I'm a dangerously imbalanced individual! Where do the rest of these imbalanced individuals go?"
I found out it was either Radio Shack or the Internet. I've no use for a remote controlled blender, so I chose the Internet.

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy my blog! I'll be trying to post every week, but I make no guarantees. I am an aspiring Super Villain outside the Interwebs, so I'll be busy setting things on fire, abducting your pet goats, and ticking off meter-maids during the week! 

Anyway, consider this our proverbial handshake. I conveniently forgot to mention, I make TERRIBLE first, second, and fourth impressions. It's probably due to my complete lack of a nose...

PS. Kudos to Allie from Hyperbole and a Half! You're an inspiration to all of us awkward, teenage cartoonists who scoff in the face of the sequitor!

  2. The origin of the Jump Seat Pixie is a long and probably untrue one...I recommend consulting your local librarian for more information.
