I'm tired and I have no friends because I don't think about things before I yell them.

Also all my version of Firefox is now too outdated for me to use the only two plugins I actually found useful (the dictionary and new tab homepage), and I'm too lazy to upgrade it.

I wish there was a button you could press to make your partner/spouse/significant other disappear for an indefinite period of time. And another one you could press to summon them back when you needed something or got bored. Yeah, that's harsh; but I hate that whole "Stop drawing and pay attention to me!" thing they tend to do. "Well, honey-be more interesting, and maybe I would". Then again, I'm probably just a selfish, heartless bastard.

UGH.

This year has been really lazy, already.
I say that because, I haven't been on a workout schedule. Even though it's like what, the first week of the year? But still. I need to make one. I had a good one, but it like, died or something.

It shouldn't be that hard.

And the comic is slowly on it's way. I just have to letter the first four pages so I can upload them. And I have to re-save them in photoshop so I can snag the PSD formats. And yeah, it's a bunch of work. D:<

Happens to me all the time. Then I get the "I want a hug" But on the bright side, she's always there when I need her, so making an effort to be there for her is something I try to tolerate. ;) Operative word "try"

"Okay dear, I'm right in the middle of something, I'll be down as soon as I can…"
Works, but all too rarely…
Invoking my muse works better because she's come to know my creative process and realises I have to follow it without interruption.

Yay back surgery. -_-

I'm getting the feeling I'm going to hate my life very shortly from this little episode.

I've been filling out job applications all week. Oh well, at least starvation and eviction aren't on the line any more now that I live with my parents. But I do have other pressures to find that job asap…

#1 reason to find a job: So my parents will shut up – or at least talk about something else.

Foreseeable downside: The new topic of conversation will be about how my brother and sister need to get jobs. (At least it won't be me. -_- )

Get anything in:
- medical
- military/police
- transport
- anything maintenance/service.

Those are the least affected by the recession.

Or just write a letter to Barrack Obama. Maybe he can help you. :)

I bought a big LCD TV the other day. I don't watch TV, but it's good for the DVDs. :)
I can have people over for movie nights now. Movie nights are much better with a nice big screen ^__^

Hmm, I wouldn't mind too much if I was out of work at this stage. I'm on holidays right now and it's lovely not going in for work every day. But I know how much of an awful worry it is when the money's running out. Not nice.

My Absinthe Junk CD and T-shirt cam today! Yay! Juno Blair's music. Its fantastic :) :)

I require a job that doesn't need physical exertion. Office/secrtarial or whatever would do nicely, since no one's going to respond to me about design right now, LOLZ

I really would like a relevant design job though.

I've been drawing for… uh… twelve hours? Twelve days? I lost track. I'm kind of tired and want to go to bed, but it's 6 in the morning already, and I've still got half a pot of somewhat-fresh coffee left over, so I might as well stay up. Also, I'd really like to have a beer right now, but then there's that whole "It's 6 am" thing again.

As long as we're ranting about employment or lack thereof- I'm desperately unemployed, and it's almost impossible to find any work in my, uh, "field" in this town. But by some strange sort of grace, I got an offer to teach a printmaking class! The problem is, I'll be out of town for at least two separate weeks in February, so I'm not sure I can take it. One trip is for a wedding that I might be able to con my way out of going to; but the other trip is home to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, which I refuse under any circumstances to miss. That damn hurricane that kicked me across the country couldn't even make me miss a Mardi Gras; I'll be damned if I'm missing one for even the best of jobs. God, that's irresponsible and immature, isn't it? Someone should punch me.

Try applying for a night auditor posistion, most hotels have one. Sure you work all through the night, but all you really do is sit on your ass with more free time than you know what to do with for about 8 bucks an hour.

and now for the oppossite.

i like my job. does it suck sometimes? yes. does it rule most other times? most definatly. it gives me a ton of money for a practical vacation. and it's awesome.
—-

me and the wife got lost, the wife has sunburn so bad that she refuses to see daylight. last night we were all partying and she started kissing someone elses girlfriend. i decided it was time we leave. we got back and she passed out. i went to sleep shortly after that.

i got a rental car but it's a prius, so it sucks. i had some idea of what i was going to rant about. i think it's the fact that this island has no "local" food, it's all authentic other countries. the even have an authentic american restaurant.
the indie restaurant was excellent, complete with a guy whose accent was so heavy, he pry used to work at a 7-11. the japanese restaurant was excellent, the waitress wore kimono's and they only knew the english that was on the menu. excellent. because the english was actually roman japanese.

LittleBigPlanet is an overrated piece of crap. Why did I buy a PS3? Am I a moron? Yes.
