How are things in the Kingdom of Loathing?

After school today, I went down to the corner store to buy some Nutty Razzleberry Fish and the new issue of The Incredible Jethro Sloan vs. the Four-Color Hunters, but it turned out I didn't have any money! Mom won't give me an advance on my allowance unless I laminate the bathroom. Rats.

There's this totally cute new girl at school! Her name is Genesis Montgomery and she's fantastic. I mean, she's a little weird; her mom packs her these gross organic lunches, and if she even smells a peanut, she gets all swollen and has to lie down, but she's still awesome. I wonder if she's into painting chinchillas? I dunno. How do you talk to girls?

Another!
