Am I the only one who notices that the expression Ozy has in panel 4 is really, really odd for him? I like it, but its very unusual.
We were talking in IRC this morning about how incredibly GIRLY Ozy looks in that panel. That's a traditional Millie expression, I think, and that's why it seems so weird on Ozy.

People talk on IRC in the mornings?
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

Well my queen, there are these bizarre people called insomniacs who don't sleep. Crazy, neh?

Heck I wish I could, but for some reason I can't use the IRC, and I oversleep to the point where I have to skip breakfast.

I did think it was a weird ozy expression, he's a good actor or impressionist I'll give him that.

This storyline is certainly fascinsting.

Another interesting point is that when one as analytical as Ozy hangs around someone, considering how passive he is normally, I'd imagine that things like personality could be interchanged as easy as just about any other tool.

My only worry in that case, of course, is that Ozy might like it and remain that way, which would be worrying. But that would allow for an arc in which Ozy is subjected with endless reasons not to be Millicent.

And then Millie ends up not wanting to be Millicent, and it all starts over!

...what was I talking about again?

Ah, that's right. At least they didn't try to switch their personalities with the perceived personalities of inanimate objects.

Exactly. Though it looks kind of scary on Ozy, it makes him look completely like a girl.
Anami and Anami are sitting around Anami says "GRR I AM ANGSTY LET'S EXPRESS ANGST" and so Anami says "ONE OF THE MODS ON DC IS A DICK I POSTED A PICTURE THAT WASN'T REALLY THAT INAPPROPRIATE AND THREE MODS SAW IT AND DID NOTHING THEN A FOURTH ONE SAW IT AND DELETED IT" and Anami says "OMG I HATE MODS >:("

I like that expression on Ozy! It's so out of character, it's hilarous. :P
gforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

so does it get added to the "official" counter?


and yes, the expression made ozy looks so girly, that i imagined him talking in a bad falsetto.

You're starting to sound like me o_O. Ozy does look rather feminine in a sly way, which IS often how Millie acts. Also has anyone noticed that in panel 3 Millie looks rather boyish? She almost seems like Avery, in a crossed arms pose. Ozy seems more willing than normal, he has a very 'active' air about him.
I was rather confused too with 'thag' on the first reading, it almost sounded like something else entirely, which really wouldn't make sense.

This was before breakfast time. Like 5 a.m. Eastern or so.

You define 5 a.m as morning? 5 a.m is still night time in my house!

Technically, if it's after midnight, it's morning.

Yes, this coming from the guy who used to wake up at 4 am for work...

So an "all-nighter" need only go 'til midnight.

In addition to insomnia, there is the factor of time zones. This forum has at least one member in Australia. Dunno if he's on IRC, tho.

BSP and Simon are both on IRC and both from Australia.

I'm just an insomniac, that's why I'm on at that time.
