Conversation with a Younger Self, Plus HMMMPH

The marvelous Kate Beaton has challenged her readers to contribute conversations with their younger selves, in written or comic form, and I totally made a comic because I love her so much, but I cannot for the life of me manage to post it on LiveJournal, which is a nemesis now. God, I wish there were an internet word to describe my incompetence, perhaps one beginning with an F. Anyway, I'll just post it here:

This is as good an excuse as any to spank you until you go read her comics, which I first heard about through Qwantz, I think. They are an ultimate best among comics. She is from the Maritimes, so I like to imagine her writing her comics while Gilbert Blythe stands silently behind her and smells her hair from time to time.

Trilobites are cool.

YOU KNOW IT. They had magnificent whiskers.

I remember when you found one in a creek in Ohio. I had no idea it was a "thing"

I had an INSANE love for fossils. They were alive, but now they're rocks! I don't remember ever finding a trilobite, though--that would have been huge. Ohio ran more toward horn corals and little bivalves. Maybe I lied to you!
