!?!?!?!?!?

"A reads WEBCOMICS?!"

I have been repeating that uncomprehendingly for hours now, both aloud until it got annoying, and inside my head after the fact.

Until tonight, I had thought A was an individual with whom the only things I would ever have in common would be Echo, B, and music, in which we have very different tastes. Then the unthinkable happened.

In the middle of a conversation between the four of us, relating to technology, A pipes up with a reference to Control-Alt-Delete!!!

Now, I don't know if I have emphasized, or even mentioned this here, but the extent of A's gaming is Wii Sports, Kinect Adventures, Dance Central, and some Super Mario Bros 2. So to hear undeniable proof that she reads CAD is like finding a forum post on foxnews.com signed "President Barack Obama" from an IP backtraced to the white house. WTF in a very good, but nonetheless colossal way.

This means that not only do we have something in common that Echo and B don't as much yet (when time allows, Echo and I will be reading the archives of some of my favorites), but that said "something" is something I not only like but love.

It's true. I'm passionate about webcomics.

Now I know that any future SDCC plans won't have to be just Echo and me, nor Echo, B, and me, with A running around and screaming at cosplayers (although, she's entirely likely to do that anyway). No, there is a possibility, no matter how big or small, or how far into the future, that she'll be as excited for her second time as I am for my first.

And that sounded a lot less dirty in my head...
