Once upon a time, a long time ago, I was a middle-class person living comfortably with her middle-class parents. My expenses were an occasional grocery run, gas, and car repairs, split with my Dad. He covered car insurance and health insurance, and, as he'd wisely taught me, I only put on my credit card what I could afford to zero out when the ( Read more... )

I love questionnaire-type memes, especially when I'm having an extra-bouncy morning. One of my friends I've known since she and I were young children realized that James Lipton asks all of his guests the same ten questions on Inside the Actor's Studio, and damn, they're pretty neat! So I'm gonna answer them too, since I'm also unlikely to ever ( Read more... )

So today is when my Extremely Long Weekend truly starts. Even if I worked studiously on my various resumes and photo/graphic art samples, sent HR the big packet of "ask me back, Hasbro! Here's all the cool things I can do!" today, I still wouldn't be allowed to start 'til two weeks from now. They have an odd temp policy . . . I feel lucky to ( Read more... )

I'm up past midnight on a MONDAY NIGHT!!!!

Hee hee heeeeeee!!!!!!!

I wanna be on vacation for ever and ever.

I liked both my drawings, I did. I knew my prof wouldn't, and I was sure right. He liked the pencil one, but the blotchy ink one he just had these words for. "If you squint, you can see that energy that's in your other work ( Read more... )

Thanks, everybody who helped me out with the biker thing! I'm trying to make fun things for my wide variety of characters, but I really don't know anything about the biker culture: watching Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Easy Rider are just the tip of the iceburg, I definitely don't have a feel for it yet ( Read more... )

Well, I didn't vacuum, and the Toy Room still looks crappy, but most of the plastic bags are out of the reach of reading nearly two-year-olds, so that's something ( Read more... )

Well, hopefully that email to my players didn't come off as ultra-bitchy. I was kinda going for quasi-bitchy . . . but it's words on a screen, people will read them as angrily or as nicely as the voice inside their head that reads words will let them ( Read more... )

Another lovely weekend, with swimming in more gloriously unchlorinated water, and having fun with friends.

Different friends, and I had to swim with clothes on, but it's all good.

spiritseeker even answered the question that I direly needed to ask him, without my having to actually ask the question. Yah, he's good like that. I'm rather glad I didn't ( Read more... )

My sleep schedule is whacked. I was sick yesterday, which was a good counterpoint to the insane horniness of the first half of the day. I managed to make it through work (because I went to the school company nurse and she had Pepto Bismol), but I came home and collapsed. Rather literally. I was sure I was going to throw up what little I had ( Read more... )
