Marn's real name is Laura, but I haven't called her that since I was probably 4. In my memory, my older sister has always been Marn.
I'm sorry you're sick. But aren't you secretly pleased? I hope you feel better soon! Love you!
She's 18 months my senior, and somehow that has always entitled her to be my spirit guide and supreme oracle. But mostly she's just my sister, in the truest sense of the word.
Marn is quirky. She one time invented personal lives for all the characters of the "Guess Who" game:
Bill- Candy-tester for Russian bakery... David- Single. Dull... George- single still. Poor guy. Makes hats...
Here is the most relatable note ever written:
Don't you hate guys' armpit hair? Doesn't it just make you wanna scream?!
That guy's armpit hair is literally coming to get her. Feels that way sometimes.
I love how even her most casual sketches are just bursting with character:
I feel a little triggered by this next one. Calls to mind some of those slick-haired, baby-faced creatures who were all the time trying to show you magic tricks in the cafeteria, and asking you to prom before your crush had a chance so you HAD to say yes, and you just wanted to SCREAM every time you found them waiting for you at your locker... *starting to hyperventilate* *gasping for air...* AHEM! Anyway:
We had lots of cats and their posterity at our house.
Here's one of those beautiful products of boredom that I so cherish:
"Hi! My name is Grant the Great Granite! I'll be your tour guide today, so sit back, and enjoy the ride!" (I can practically feel the heat radiating off the old-fashioned slide projector in this doodle.) "Before you lies the untamed beauty of the red rocks of Arches National Monument..." K, wow I'm bored. My teacher is wearing Indian jewelry and a jade bracelet... attention dimming... mind wandering... something about lava flow... What say you to a fiery game of California Speed later? All the girls here are prettier than me. PS: a cute girl said hi to me and I called her the wrong name! Dumbness abounding!
Been there.
GUESS WHAT. Sean Connery is 73 years old! Just thought I'd share the goodness! We're listening to "Johnny Be Good" in Medical Anatomy. It makes me want to bust some crazy moves on this table! Weeee! I love you! Love, Marn
Love you, too, Marn.
