I'm bad, bad bad bad.

Ok so I was a very naughty, bad girl this week.

Now don't get excited.

That's my new lingo for the week... I got a puppy. Though it be a boy, Sinatra, you can imagine how the puppy talk has conquered my last couple days.

It's interesting how all of a sudden one can turn their almost undivided attention to something else. In a blink of an eye. I now figure out my day around taking care of my puppy, and more so, making sure he takes care of his business on the puppy pad. Not easy. Still working on that.

So far the puppy has influenced me to get up early each day and try to be as efficient as possible in order to get all of my priorities done. Then it happens, he pisses on the floor. Great, now I have to scold and punish and try to get him to piss in the right place. My whole efficient schedule has been totally annialated.


Well anyhoo, enough about my puppy queries....

So for my comic character. Let's call him Claus. Claus is a tour guide at Neushwanstein (castle near Munich, Germany that Ludwig-the-something built and never finished), one who's been there a very long time, though he look about 18. He reminds me of a vampire, very pale, very thin, and just all around creepy with his slow speaking and gestures. Claus takes his job very seriously and has the script down in English and German, verbatum. He does not let people take flash photography, at all. No one does anyone, for fear of damage to their jugular vein. He knows everything about the castle. He can answer any question. He thinks he is witty at times, when it is all the more creepy. However, he cannot stand when people talk about the "Disney" part about the castle. He gets very defensive and wants people to appreciate the historical value of the castle and not the fact that Walt Disney may or may not have based the Sleeping Beauty castle at Disneyland on Neushwanstein.

Perspective: History is the golden knowledge and should be taken very seriously.

Comic Problem: He cannot relate to any of his tourists and people find him creepy.

Flaws: He takes his job too seriously and can't adjust to different people. Socially awkward.

Humanity: He loves his job and is very smart.

Exaggerations: strong, and slow German accent. Slow gestures and big eyes, vampire-like. His costuming: black....very German electronic.
