It's a blog, you dope. How did you even get here in the first place? It says blogspot right there in the URL. But f'rilly, Plans for Nigel is what I call in my mind a blogtoon, which is a silly word that I coined myself. It basically means it's a blog, but it's way cooler than normal blogs because it has cartoon drawings that I made myself. I'm not stealing anyone's work, and none of it is stock photos or clipart or anything. Only my own cartoon drawings and the occasional real life photo. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference because I'm such a spectacular artist.
Q: Why is it called Plans for Nigel?
It comes from this song called "Making Plans for Nigel" by Nouvelle Vague. There's even a post about it, in case you wondered.
Q: Who is this Nigel, anyways?
He's my best friend, and don't you dare talk about him like that! Have some respect. I adopted Nigel when I was living all alone one summer and needed some furry companionship, but I couldn't get a kitten because I was house-sitting for a lady that didn't want a cat running around in her house when she tried to sell it. He was the best hamster ever and so far no hamster has lived up to his legacy. He was the first hamster I ever bought, and he died of cancer in February of 2013.
Q: Why would you have an entire blog about a stupid hamster?
He's not stupid, and didn't I just tell you to respect the deceased? And besides, if you had read the blog header, it clearly states that, although Plans for Nigel has some words about a hamster, there are also some words about other things. A lot of words about other things. And other hamsters. But mostly other life things! Nigel mostly provided a motif for my blog, and people love him anyways because he's furry and adorable and a great friend.
Q: If hamsters are such great companionship, why did you get married?
Well, as adorable as my hamster friends are, they're not great conversationalists. Plus my husband has a job, unlike those tiny freeloading hippies that just take up space in my living room.
Q: What's so cool about gerbils?
They're hamsters, and you're a racist. You just don't understand.
Q: Why don't you post more often?
I'm working on it! It actually takes quite a while to put one of these posts together. I keep telling people things like "I'm going to start posting every Wednesday" or "Once a week, for suresies. Probably on Sundays," but it turns out it's hard to keep up with a commitment like that. So I'm going to pretend that I post irregularly to keep an element of mystery in my blog. Yeah, that.
Q: Will you draw a picture of/for/about my ____?
Yeah, sure I will! How much are you paying me?
Q: Do you have other blogs?
Yes, but they suck. Don't worry about them. Plans for Nigel is my primary blog, and it's where I post anything worth reading. Or anything at all, really. I haven't touched my other blogs in forever.
Q: Are you planning on going to school to become a writer/graphic designer/whatever?
I... Um... that is... One could really say that... Well, you see... Is there another question?
Q: Where do you live?
I'm not telling you. That's weird.
Q: These are stupid questions.
That's not a question. You're stupid.
Q: What if I have another question that isn't in this list of frequently asked questions?
Well, this seemed to me like a pretty comprehensive list, but if there's something else you'd like to know about me, Nigel, or any of my other furry friends, feel free to contact me via email at hemustbehappy@gmail.com.
