a place without all the shuffle and scrape
I painted this for my mother a few weeks ago. She was all snobby and wanted something more "adult" for her wall, as opposed to the elephants and cartoon birds I'd been doing for me and Sam. Nothing is more adult than an elephant and a cartoon sun.
Last night I had a dream that I told my best friend I'd make at least 15 million a year in my first job out of uni; I said it like it was totally natural and obvious, the way it is that nursing students will become nurses when they finish their degree. I kind of suspect that this is because all I have done for days is watch Entourage. When I woke up, I was really confused and disappointed that I didn't have 15 million dollars.
Lately, I'm so bored.
I don't have a lot to update about. I had a job interview on Monday that will probably go nowhere. For a few days the week before I had elaborate fantasies about applying to become a terrorism analyst with the government. I'd have to move. I think that was the really appealing part, that and the generous salary. It'd be helpful if I knew anything about Terrorism or South East Asia. Really, I just wanted my work to be classified. As part of the application process they do this intense security check. I kept imagining them going through my lj with a fine tooth comb. Interviewing Sam and Melissa about my habits. I'd probably end up getting arrested.
I've started thinking about my life in really serious terms; looking more for a career than a job. The boredom is motivating me to step up but I still don't really know what to do. How does one go about getting a book deal... God, what a joke.
The power jack on my laptop is broken again and driving me fucking crazy. It flickers on and off battery power all the time and when it does the backlight goes nuts too. This is why I need fifteen million dollars, so I can just have 15 laptops. I wouldn't even notice this kind of problem.
I'm still working on the AU drabbles, they're just turning into really long ideas. Stupidest idea for a meme I ever had. It's like taking on a full time job only I'm too lazy to do the work.
