New Article About How Relationships Can Suck Up On Heeb!

Hi! This is something I wrote recently. Have fun with it maybe, I don’t know. Bye. Love you. Bye.

As a single woman, I find it helps me to think of all the negative things about relationships. Just the whole point of them in general, all the time and patience they require. A lot of it can be pretty dumb. Not like frisbee golf dumb, but close. It’s a healthy exercise (claim not supported by any scientific evidence). I just curl up with a tiny bottle of whiskey, ignore my mom’s voicemail messages to join JDate, and list all the cons. This is some of what I came up with:

I Have To Learn Stuff About That Person. A lot of Stuff.

This is a constant thing that happens from the start to the finish of a relationship. As soon as me and this person lock eyes and decide on being romantic with one another we both instantly feel like we need to know every single thing about each other. Thus ensues a cheesy, boring, and cliché onslaught of cutesy romantic crap like talking on the phone till 3am or staying in bed together for a whole day and bonding over all the ways we think we might die. On top of that, in order to be a good boyfriend or girlfriend you’ve got to really internalize these things too.
You have to know their favorite movies, favorite music, certain food allergies, why the went to prison, why they were in a mental hospital for six months, etc. All for the sake of intimacy. What’s the reward? They feel comfortable farting around you, and asking you to pop their butt pimples. Cool. Awesome. Great.
Then what happens when you eventually break up? You have to forget all that information. Now all that stuff you learned is useless. You can’t forget it though. It just swarms in your head taking up valuable brain space, which sucks ‘cuz it’s hardly ever useful information either. You’re never going to need to know any of this stuff in say, a life or death situation or if you’re a contestant of Jeopardy. No, you’re just stuck for the rest of your life knowing that Shawn is convinced all Jewish girls get turned on by Neil Diamond songs (only partly true), and that Zach has a weird armpit fetish.

A while back I tried joining (as a joke) the dating website that’s for ranchers and farmers called Farmers Only. Trouble surfaced when I tried to pick out a username, but all the good ones were taken :(

Kryptonite Got You Down? #5

Never be jealous of surfers. Do you know how stupid surfing is?


Dear Alison,

For most of my adult life I’ve suffered from an unenviable skin condition that has left my entire face red and bone dry. I used to be the epitome of the Aryan ideal, with gorgeous blonde locks and icy blue eyes, but now I can’t even get the weak women of inferior stock to look my way.

I sought out power and riches thinking that would help the Nordic women I deserve to look the other way in regards to my unfortunate dermatological state and now I find myself at odds with a man who has everything I’ve lost – gorgeous blonde locks, icy blue eyes and Nordic women literally killing themselves for him! To make matters worse, he represents everything I’m against and is too concerned with truth and justice to enjoy the pleasures of the flesh. Do you have any skincare regimens you could recommend to a man in my position? Or should I just resign myself to being this vanilla jock’s ghastly wingman?

Yours,

Skin is Killing my Unfortunate Love Life

Kryptonite Got You Down #4 

Hey, newest article for my column is up on Comics Bulletin. Here is a sample, click the link up here or at the bottom to read the rest! 

Kryptonite Got You Down? #4

“Figure shit out. Stop being an ass. Send me nude pics.”

Hi Alison,

I have a delicate matter to discuss. You see, I’m a debonair playboy billionaire trying to give back to his community by beating the crap out of less privileged individuals who have taken to a life of crime. To aid me in this, I’ve recently taken on a young ward who tragically lost his family. We’re a great team, even though I prefer outfits that help me blend into the darkness and my ward likes to dress, well, like some kind of color blind pageboy. But our problem isn’t fashion oriented. Our problem is that people seem to be under the impression that we’re engaging in a Greek style apprenticeship. You know, the kind that involves a different sort of “hands on” tutelage. 

It’s become quite embarrassing. Not because I’m homophobic (trust me, I’ve given more than my fair share to GLAAD over the years), but I already have enough issues with the law and all I need is to be placed on some kind of sex offender register. Worse, it seems to be all the media latches onto now. They don’t care about the work I’m doing to rid the streets of the mentally ill and aggressively impoverished, all they talk about is my “boy toy wonder.” Even that local journalist who’s obsessed with some kind of tiger woman blathers on about it. What can I do to make it obvious that there’s nothing going on here? And should I discuss this with the boy? Maybe encourage him to dress less…provocatively?

Yours,

Billionaire in Awkward, Tricky Situation



Yo Dude,

A pretty tricky situation indeed. You know, I usually don’t care to solve the problems of spoiled billionaire one-percent-er assholes like yourself but you do fight crime and help the community and all so I guess just this once I’ll waive the “no helping rich assholes” rule. Consider yourself lucky! Oh wait, you already do! Anyways, rich boss types who take on a young, cute “assistant” or “intern” or “student to mentor” are often accused of having sexual relations with them. I believe most people think this because it is absolutely true. At least 95% of the time it is. Cause I mean seriously, what sort of creative writing professor really needs a student assistant three times a week to work with him in his office and help him “brainstorm?” It’s total bullshit! It’s really just an excuse to hit on a young, impressionable, horny college girl who idolizes older men with creative writing degrees because she doesn’t know what it means to be a real adult. On that note, Professor Marx if you’re reading this, this is not about you! ;).

Anonymous asked: Deat Brit Brit, I'm seeing a really great guy but he hates my dog. She smells really bad because of this tumor in her mouth, but of course, I love her anyway. It's not like I let her sleep in my room but she has this cloud of smell following her around, but she only has a few months to live. It's gotten to the point where this guy is like: either you put the dog down, or we're through. What should I do?

Ohhhhh damn girl this is like totally sad! Like Finding Nemo sad except that had a happy ending. I’m assuming you got one of those mutt type dogs that poor people buy at malls. My princess chihuahua Ruby never smells bad, because I take her to the groomer, salon, and manicurist at least once a week. Also, she’s really hot. I mean, I’m not like into that (ew!) but like I take her to the mall with me a lot and sometimes other dogs are there totally ogling her! They wish they were her, or totally want to bone her. I mean, I know she’s not my daughter but I can’t help feeling like my genetics had something to do with this. 

Your boyfriend is totes right in being icked out (I mean tumors essentially look the same as weight gain - ick!), but also it’s totally too late for you to exchange your dog (unless you kept the receipt??) I guess if you already love it or whatever that would be a bad idea anyways.

Hmm, this isa ruff one (LOL get it, ruff! Cause like dogs bark and that’s what it sounds like but also there’s the word rough - i think it’s called a palindrome). Don’t put the pup down just yet! Maybe try giving her a…MAKEOVER!! Omg, duh! Yeah just like, completely go all out, give her a day at the spa, and like a full on fur dye. Buy her some perfume and make her feel sexy! 

Once your boyfriend sees the effort your putting into making your doggie less ugly, maybe he’ll cut you some slack and continue your relationship.

But if he still isn’t cool with this, then I say only follow his wishes if he is a) really hot b) super rich or c) both! These are the things that obviously outweight whatever dumb emotional bond you have with your dog. 

Hope this helps!

xoxo,

Brittney Kelly ;)

Anonymous asked: Brittney, I have been told by many women that they do not appreciate me playing my 3DS on dates. Even if I give them my old DS to play they are still not happy. Do you think I should let them play the 3DS and I should use the crummy old DS? Do you think it would be worth the money to buy another 3DS so we could play together? Please help, this is driving me bonkers.

BK here! Look bro, real talk like playing video games is something you just don’t do on dates! Period. Girls hate those things cause they’re totally weird and for dorks. I don’t exactly know what a 3DS is but if it’s anything like Avatar in 3D then first of all, woah! But also, ugh that’s annoying. Know what I mean? LOL okay so like basically i’m tellin ya that girls need you to like totally be invested in us on dates. Like obviously we’re super boring cause all we talk about is our manicures and new hair styles and celeb gossip stuff but if you want to get in our lace panties you got to at least pretend we’re interesting. Just like nod, and smile and pay for our drinks (buy us a lot of drinks!) and like tell us we’re pretty. That’s all we care about, seriously like that’s it. That’s not so hard!
Play your silly games with your bros, or by yourself. My boyfriend personally loves that football one or wrestling one or whatever.

Truly yours sincerely,

Brittney Kelly
