      The first zines I picked up were music zines (like SLUG) around Salt Lake City, UT in the late 80s and early 90. In high school I dated someone whose dad was a monitor in AOL chat rooms. He somehow was in contact with people who made zines and would buy them and let us borrow them. I also went on a church trip to Indiana when I was16 and met some people who made zines.

      At some point I thought "Hey, I can make zines too!" My sister and I put out our very first zine called "Fun In A Bucket" in 1995. There were actually a lot of zines in Salt Lake at the time: Lunchroon, Kitchen Sink, Maybrick's Diary, Hemophiliac's Papercut, Failed Jedi, Falling Angels, Ritalin Kid, UPC, and more. I started Brianscan in 1997.

      Wow, that bounced around a lot.

      I was 9 years old and we were moving from Houston, Texas to Greensboro, North Carolina and I was super sick and puking and feeling miserable. I think we staying in Jackson, Mississippi and my parents put me in the car without searching for my Pound Puppy so it got left at the motel. I was very upset.

      I would be able to stop time and I would be called the "Great Procrastinator"

      dance like no one is watching
      work like you don't need the money
      love like you have never been hurt

      (I gotta say that the second part means a lot to me. It's not about being lazy, it is about working hard and the best you can even if you aren't being paid for it, that's my interpretation)

      Pretty cute! Especially because he said he wants to be a raccoon for Halloween so Maggie and I started coloring his tail!

      I have made specific zines for people and I thought they were pretty cool gifts.

      I have a very faded long scar on my right forearm from from my childhood swing set, a few burns on my hands from cooking, old skinned knees, a scar on my shoulder from when I ran into a parked car on my bike when I was 12. Also, my current wound on my forehead when I was elbowed by a skinhead at a Swingin Utters show a few days ago.

      Really cold because you can always put clothes on but you always get to a point where you can't take any more clothes off.
