Feels like Forever!
Hey! It's been forever. Or it seems like forever, rather...
Updates galore, here!
I was unemployed until the middle of April, when Cedar Point hired me back as a costume character and costume shop stitch-er. Let me tell you, that was the most mind-numbing, but fingernail-biting time of my life. I was deeply depressed. I tried to force out my inner optimist. I know that I wasn't the only one with problems, but being unable to pay bills really does take a toll. I'm still not entirely back on track, but I'm definitely working on it,
During that time I had to sell two of my favorite dolls (Analise and Bailey) and various other things. That really bummed me, but I figure when I'm back on track, I'll be able to repurchase them. Same names and everything. The other stuff wasn't really anything I needed so I'm not too sad to part with it.
When the middle of May started, I officially started as one of the Peanuts. This year was fun, hectic, and weirdly annoying. Too much drama. Sadly, that's what happens when you put a large group of females together in a tiny, air-conditioned room. Kinda bummed, because I didn't get to take as many pictures as last year.
Enjoyed my birthday with my friends and co-workers at Kalahari Water Park and Resort in Sandusky. I normally don't celebrate my birthday, but it was worth it.
My car died and was sold in early August, so I currently have no mode of transportation.
The main season for Cedar Point finished in early September. I don't have regular character work, because the park closed during the week. I work in the costume shop during the weekdays. I assist in making costumes and the upkeep of the "Friendly" Monsters. I also assist the woman in charge of the costumes for the Screamsters, when she needs it.
I audition for Disney as a costume character on the 8th of October. Sadly, I didn't make it past the first cut. It was fun, though. I would definitely audition, again.
These last two weekends during Halloweekends, I stood in for the girl who is the Karaoke Host. She had a previous engagement and they needed someone to host. It was nice. I wish they had hired me for host. I auditioned for the position. Oh, well...
There are only two more weekends for Halloweekends. I'm sad, yet kinda relieved.
Why relieved? It means that I will now have time and room to work on projects.
What kind of projects?
* Fourth of July Jumperskirt (Minnie Mouse dress for Halloween.)
* Black Cat Strut (Uploading the design in multiple colors and getting samples printed.)
* Very Belated Wedding Present for seleschan.
* Nurse Lindsay Cosplay (Magical Girl Theme.)
* Random Drawings and Art
* To Dreams and Back comic
* Christmas Presents!
Of course, all those will be worked on while I job search. I refuse to be jobless! Even if I have to just start an Etsy shop for doll clothes or something, I will make sure to have some form of income.
Well, that's all for right now. I'll try to keep everything more up-to-date, but that depends on how absorbed I get into projects and future job positions.
