(no subject)
At the beginning of September, I put an application in at a company. It's not my dream job but it's close to my house, not extremely hard work, I know someone who works there, and it's decently related to one of my interests. Aside from a "Thank you for applying" postcard, I never heard anything from them and wrote it off. Last week they called out of the blue and asked me to go in. They gave me the tour, showed me the job that they were offering, and then I talked to the HR director. She said they'd go over everything and let me know in about a week. So, fingers crossed, I might have a new job in time for Christmas, yay!
On a writing note, I've been working on the Inuyasha AU and the first chapter is about 200 words from being finished. I'm not sure if I want to work on it (tentative, sort of cheesy but fitting title "Movie Star Moment") or another fic whose first chapter is finished and second chapter is started ("Deeper Pull"). I'm thinking about putting both first chapters on here and getting opinions about which one is more worth whatever free time I come by. In fact, I'm going to make it my goal to finish MSM by Wednesday (day off) and get them both up here.
Behind The Icon: The hand in my icon is actually mine. When I went on vacation in Ocean City this last summer, I got roped into doing one of those old time photos as a saloon girl in the Wild West, even though I hate having my picture taken. I lucked out and got a purple dress but still thought I'd hate seeing it when it was done. I was right, but when I looked at the picture, I thought "You know, the square inch of just my hand holding the fan actually looks kind of nice. I think I like it." It then became an icon and I haven't looked at the original photo since.
I just realized that I never mentioned that and people might wonder why someone would put a picture of a hand holding a fan on a post that relates to neither. It's probably the closest I'll ever get to posting a picture of me and so I use it when I'm just rambling about current life things. And there you go, the story behind the icon.
