What do you mean I can't take my sweater off? I'M HOT!

First off, apologies to Drew for forgetting to tell you happy birthday last weekend. I wasn't home, and I didn't get the chance to log on and send you an IM/PM/Email or anything like that. You were the only person who was actually available on my birthday in June. I'm just sad that you didn't have anything planned this year for your own birthday.

And now for rants about my personal life. Specifically, a story I'm working on...

I'd say it was about a year ago when I thought to myself "Why don't I make one of those typical superhero stories? Teen gets powers, gets girlfriend, manages to hide his secret life as a crime-fighter from the ones whom he love the most. It'll be great!"
Eh. A few months later, it turned into an entirely different story, involving the main character being an idealized version of me, all of his friends being in on his secret, and his female love interest turning out to be gay (ah, heartbreak).

Since then, I've been trying to find a way to make this thing. So far, I've jotted summaries to the first 3 story arcs (working on the 4th), but I have no idea how I should present it online. Should I make a prose-style web-novel? Script-style dialogue with all action in parentheses? Learn Flash and animate it? Badly draw a webcomic myself? Find somebody else willing to commit to drawing a webcomic on a weekly basis?

This is my most kick-ass idea for a series yet. And I have no idea what form to put it in. It's action, comedy, and almost satirical of the whole "teen becomes superhero" genre. I've made up way too many characters and contrived sub-plots for this thing. I'll never be able to top this idea. Arg!

Other than that, my life's been going just fine. I'm trying to get a job right now, so pray for me to whatever god, goddess, or patheon of higher beings you believe in.
