I've been meaning to share this with you guys in case you haven't discovered it. Allie Brosh is a blogger who has severe ADHD, social anxiety disorder, and a few other disorders that make her almost incapable of leaving her house at times - but she has an indefatigable sense of humour and is an utter genius with "Paint", creating artwork that accompanies the stories of her life which are sometimes poignant and often hysterical.

"God of Cake" is just one of my favorites; I also heartily recommend "The Party", "How Kenny Loggins Ruined Christmas", "Benny and the Wolves", and - well, OK, just decide your entire day is shot and read EVERYTHING. Visit the toilet first - yes, you WILL be laughing THAT hard.

Allie recently announced she has a book deal. I CAN'T WAIT.

Enjoy. And you're welcome.

So funny. I totally relate to "This Is Why I'll Never Be An Adult".

Thanks for the laugh, DMO3.

:) Allie is a treat. Another one y'all might like is http://sleeptalkinman.blogspot.com/ - you HAVE to go back and read it from the very start, though. That one is too funny sometimes.

I also like Myths RETOLD http://bettermyths.blogspot.com/ but warning - NSFKorW, as Ovid is delightfully obscene - and also the recipient of a book deal.

Another longtime fan of Allie Brosh here. The Kenny Loggins piece had me laughing so hard that I did pee my underpants a little!

ArtGal, I can't believe she does those in Paint! ... and Zora, Kenny Loggins like to killed me too. So did "Parp!" from the party one, my kids still ask if we can go to the parp. The Wolves one, though, I was reading it aloud to my partner and we were both just gasping for air with tears streaming down our faces!

I've been a fan ever since the grammar rant of "Alot"! I still snort just thinking about the Alot. I love you Alot.

"I did three things yesterday!"

*giggles*

"Clean All The Things!" is part of the household vocabulary.

Co-worker: Are you crying? Me: No, I'm laughing... at this writer's battle with her crippling depression. So funny! Thanks DMo3.
