Americorps why do you haunt me so!?

[dear_ebony_rose]

Urgh! My life once again is taken by surprise by Americorps, those bastards. I was emailed about a possible job that related to my Americorps online application. Well I had an hour long interview and I need to make a decision in 2 days. >:( I hate these deadlines. But atleast now I understand the saying a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Good luck! And keep making art! Definitely!

I once had a factory job. Well, it was a bindery job at a printing press, but I think it's a similar environment. It definitely gave me time to think. The physical labor helped with that. A strenuous, repetitive physical activity allows me to just switch to autopilot and easily explore my own mind.

I seriously need my own place, too. I don't know if I've mentioned it anywhere on my journal, but I'm living with my parents. Which makes me feel slightly ashamed in itself, but it's a necessary thing. I moved back when I lost my last job. Things improved for me, but then they had to declare bankruptcy, so now it's more of everyone helping each other. And I love them, obviously. But living here drives me up a wall sometimes. A lot of times. Maybe all the time. I just want my own space. Terribly. Some place I can completely relax.

It is beyond frustrating.

fuck. the factory job just went down the drain. damn damn damn. now i still have to keep looking and hopefully i'll be able to get a place to live soon. i've been living between 3 different places, my mom's, dad's, and aunt's. if i stay at any one place to long I will go crazy especially being unemployed. They all try to help and it's aggrivating. Damn and fuck. Just one more damper to my spirit.

Nonono! This won't fucking do at all! Damn it all to hell!

I totally get living between different places, though. I basically do, too. I live at home during the week, on weekends I stay at a friend's. Staying in someone else's place for too long drives me mad.

You're in my thoughts. Job and living space vibes headed your way. I hope things improve soon.
