I just found out I have some "valuable" manga to sell, but I am unsure of how to best go about selling it

Seriously though I have 2 volumes that are priced at around $15-20 used and volume 6 of Mushishi, which apparently starts at $75 used -- not that anyone's necessarily paying that price.

Also even though I was lucky enough to score A Strange and Mystifying Story vol 1, volume 2 is out of print with copies starting at $30 used. Son of a bitch. So assuming I can move my other out of print/hard to finds for decent prices, I might be able to justify the absorbent price. Or I can just keep it on my wishlist forever and hope to get luck, like I did with The Devil's Secret -- DMP reprinted it after years of it being out, and it isn't like it's a matter of the publisher being kaput (like with Challengers, which I'm fortunate to have, but I'm trying to get a second set for a friend)

Also my lady bits hurt because it's getting near that time, and I'm feeling myself just get super irritable, which is obnoxious.

The first day is always the hardest for me. Today is that day. Although i was fortunate to receive the day-before warning headache, I still want to HULK SMASH all of the things and never leave my bed. Also I don't wanna go to the grocery store but I must! Wah!

On the plus side, I got to watch the first Indiana Jones movie, play some Princess Peach AND read chapter five of a dearly beloved book that I can't wait to finish. :3 I <3 Harvel.

[Kinokokao]

fuck you, I still need chapter 5

*checks email*

No, wait. I need chapter 6. wwwttttfffff

My first day is like, RELEASE THE KRACKEN only the kracken is made of blood

I'm sorry this conversation is now NSFW

[Trifkin]

I know. I need chapter six like I need air. I'M SUFFOCATING AND IT'S ALL MAY'S FAULT. Actually, it's Harvel's fault. Sneaky journal snooper. I NEED TO KNOW HOW THEY MAKE UP.
T______T

Anyway, yeah. Stuff... and junk. I made it through my grocery store trip, hurray!

NO I DO NOT WANT TO SEE PICTURES OF YOUR STUPID FUCKING BABY

jesus christ I am so fucking tired of looking at my facebook feed and seeing snot-nosed brats doing "cute" shit with status updates like I LOVE THIS LITTLE GUY or LOOK AT WHAT MY CAMCAM DID TODAY or WOHBTJYLU BOUTY UJYJHJH FHGhg

ffffffff I hate you and I hate your baby and I swear to God why don't you just get a goddamn life separate from that of your fucking genetic gloop

Woke up around 2:30 PM today. Talked to someone. Just been kind of moody all day, but maybe that's not quite the right word. I think restless is better. It sucks to be in that limbo between like and love.

bleh

You know... it's funny... and not that I'm trying to trash talk my relatives or anything, but...

So I've mentioned before that I do not "know" my relatives. They are complete strangers. For various reasons or another that have mostly to do with my mom and their personal relationships, they have chosen to rarely be part me and my sisters' lives (I say rarely only because I guess going to visit them in Ohio and them having picnics when we come over must count for SOMETHING).

No birthday cards. No phone calls. Nothing. I think the longest conversation I've ever had with my aunt was just recently when she is trying to figure out her computer and my mom passed me the phone (I suspect she did not install her virus protector correctly but I was having trouble just getting her to understand what a browser is.... )

I like that to my facebook message "I HAVE GRADUATED!!! *throws confetti* *^_^*" she posted "THATS GREAT MARIE........... SO PROUD OF YOU"

....I have the urge to respond "how can you be proud of me? you don't even know what degrees I graduated with." Let's not even forget the fact that if she were not on facebook she probably wouldn't even know that I was in college at all.

And I swear to God, if she keeps telling my mom that she's too old to go to school and get her own degree to enter her own career, I'm seriously going to start screaming at her. I don't even know why my mom listens to her bitch of a sister. It just deepens her depression.

I don't know if the woman is doing it on purpose or if it's just because she is sincerely hillbilly trailer trash that thinks life is over at the age of 30. MY MOM IS ONLY 48, BITCH! SHE CAN DO WHATEVER THE FUCK SHE WANTS! SHE CAN BE 90 AND STILL FUCKING GO GET A DEGREE.

:3 I should so totally write back "Yep! I'm the first in the whole family tree to achieve higher education!!"

Holy shit your mom is young

[Maxine MagicFox]

^_^ She is! I keep trying to tell her this!

Yeah, mom got married right out of high school... she actually had to for her graduation just in order to marry my dad. And I came a year and a month later. Exactly. Their anniversary is May 2nd. My birthday is June 2nd :3

[Kinokokao]

my mom just looks super young:



See? I don't think she looks a day over 40!

Also my mom does not photograph well. She gets it from her mother:



This is actually one of the best pictures I have ever taken with my grandmother -__-;;

[Maxine MagicFox]

^_^ awww, how cute!! I like your mom, Kino.

I will try to hunt down some photos of my own mom. There's one on her facebook (I don't think she has it set to non-public) but it's NOT a very flattering photo of her. (In case you try to look - she has the same name as me without the "Marie")

^ My maternal family looks young long. Batshit-tendencies, though.
