Life is X-men

About every week I get called a geek or a nerd because I read comics. I was in class reading a comic, and this blonde girl turns to me and asked,"What are you reading?"
I said, "A graphic novel."
"You're reading porn?"
Nuff said. The public school system has failed another child.

I also find it foolish that people look down on my kind, seeing the fact that almost every movie out in theaters were based off comics. For example see:The Dark Knight, The Incredible Hulk, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (horrible adaptation compared to the graphic novel). Also: Wanted.

I love hearing a good story and life is alot like being in a X-Men comic. Almost like those 90's X-men comics. One character would say, "Hey how are?" and Beast or someone would reply, "I'm alright...now that I'm back from having my mind controlled and back from the Savage Land.x" And then in a small box in the lower corner of the panel it would say something like:

x This was a result of the evil Man-Bird called Sauron, Karl Lykos as he tried to drain the life energies of the The X-Men in Ish 364.

And that was great! The little x would appear at the bottom of the page telling you the back issue where I could find out what happened. Just like in real life when you're walking around and you ask someone how they are doing. You get a back story of their own individual series as if they are just guest star for an issue in yours.

Unfortunately, nowadays people don't even stop and read someone else's back issues anymore because too preoccupied by their own story lines. Instead people give a mechanical, heartless, repetitive, "Hi! How are you?" and then walk away. Next time just take the time and see how the other X-Men are doing. So many fascinating stories people carry around and all it takes is a little time to find out what happened. As for me I don't want to ever stop reading comics.

Narrator: I don't know... it's just, when people think you're dying, they really, really listen to you, instead of just...
Marla Singer: - instead of just waiting for their turn to speak?
