About

Shelley is a fictitious character who is based on a personal joke I had with my friend, the Cat Lady. Sometimes when bad happens to a close friend the best thing to do is to try and make a joke about it. A bad joke that I make sometimes is to say that "well, at least Shelley is OK" which pretty much means that at least there is someone else out there who has nothing to do with us who is having a good time. Basically, Shelley’s OK means “shit happens to good people sometimes but best just to make a joke out of it.”

It's kind of nonsensical which is kind of what I was going for it so if you have a problem with it, maybe we aren’t going to get along as well as I had hoped.

All the stories in the blog are true, I’m not smart enough to go making stuff up but I do add my own spin on things so I’m no biographer either. The stories are pretty much stories that I like to tell to people over a drink and have a few laughs. I’m really very opinionated on all that important stuff like AIDs and poverty and I do indeed listen to music and consume fashion but I’m not about to share those opinions on a blog. So instead I write about silly things (which is why I am frequently the topic of the blog).

Also yes, I am aware that I am not a very good artist. I’m not in denial, I just don’t care that I’m no good. I think that reading thousands of words on a screen without any pictures is exhausting and I don’t do exhausting so instead you must endure my bad art. I suggest you embrace its crappiness. Pretend I am a small child in a ballet concert; you tell me that I’m good even though I’m terrible. I like to hear these sorts of comments “that was of a good standard (compared to your usually low standard)”.

Now here is a collage of me as a mermaid.

Love,
