a place without all the shuffle and scrape

[soundczech]

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.

Akira is so cute

The painting is amazing O_O what is this magic O_O

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

I was given a paint set by an enchanted fairy.

[attics.livejournal.com]

Painting amazing but there's nothing about bed, jin, moan, or orgasm in this post?

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

THIS COMMENT MADE ME LAUGH A LOT

[font.livejournal.com]

what's great is that notifications reveal that you tagged it as orgasm first. what kind of copywriter job?

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

a crappy one alksjd direct mail and B2B, but i have no experience and no prospects, so i'll take whatever i can get.

[lovedoesthat.livejournal.com]

This is not an explanation.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

I don't have to explain myself.

[altricial.livejournal.com]

And good luck for interview on Monday! What about your plans to teach in Japan? John did it in China and it seems like the money was not bad.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

Thanks, but interview was last Monday alskdj. It went okay but I still don't think I got it. Especially if they haven't called you for reference. I haven't abandoned English teaching thing but at the same time if I can get a good job I'm going to do it. I applied for a copywriting job. I'm hoping I'll at least get an interview for that. So bored, Anna.

[altricial.livejournal.com]

Oh yfjg :( Well I don't think any of the job interviews I've been to actually rang my references so I don't think that meant you didn't get it. Did they say when they will get back to you? Copywriting! :O That's awesome :O I wish I was bored :( I've got 10 client sessions next week and uni starts again T_T

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

I was supposed to hear whether I got it either way by the end of the week, and I didn't, so who knows what is going on. I'm not even sure I want it anymore; I sensed a lot of office stress and tension and I'd be working for two essentially different companies and I could tell within the first five minutes of the interview that whoever got that job would be constantly used as a pawn in power struggles alskdj so idk, whatever will be will be.

10 client sessions D:

[altricial.livejournal.com]

That sounds potentially awkward htdujfukf D: Maybe it's time to write your novel. Squiggly Lines: The Motion Picture?

That painting is really amazing, I am really in awe of your art skills. I'm not being facetious when I say that, crying, I feel like I have to clarify this whenever I compliment somebody now.

Good luck with job hunting stuff, though. :|

Oh, yeah, AU drabbles == long and involved? Now you know my pain.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I never know how to reply to people when the compliment me. I feel like I should reply to this comment, "Thanks!! ♥" like I do with feedback.

[unrequitedangst.livejournal.com]

Should I make a comment about your artistic composition as well?

crying, it's okay, you and Sam always update LJ right before I wake up and I am always half-asleep whenever I comment to hilarious effect. Life.

[packrat.livejournal.com]

FITZ MY DELL DID THAT POWERJACK THING SHORTLY BEFORE THE POWERJACK STOPPED WORKING ALLTOGETHER. T_T They had to replace the motherboard. :( Well ok first I just kept wiggling the jack to get it to charge and i ruined about 4 chargers before it stopped working. Is it a Dell? Is it an Inspiron 6000? Fucking dell.

I know how you feel about career and job stuff. :( I used to want to be in the CIA, and then I found out they tested your hair for marijuana use, and your hair shows it for years. Fucking hair.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

A NEW MOTHERBOARD, GOD, NOW I REMEMBER WHY I DIDN'T FIX MY LAST LAPTOP WHEN THIS HAPPENED. God I hope it holds out long enough for me to get a job and afford a Mac. It's not a Dell, it's an MSI.

lololol I'm pretty sure I could pass the drug test but I'm not all that sure about the psych test.

[giantessmess.livejournal.com]

We can both get book deals. Let's do that.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

Maybe you can, go getter :(

[giantessmess.livejournal.com]

Both can. Life's longer suggests than the present. It'll happen if you want it too /brady bunch.

I have no time for novel writing. Irony, having impetus to do it right when I shouldn't. Life.

[luckycharm-13.livejournal.com]

That painting is beautiful!

I hope that your interview went well *crosses fingers* Even if it doesn't, there will always be more interviews and more jobs. You'll find the perfect an acceptable one soon ;)

I kept imagining them going through my lj with a fine tooth comb.

dslkfidslkfj they would! I have friends who delete their facebook accounts because they want to work for the government one day.

How does one go about getting a book deal... God, what a joke.

Don't sell yourself short. I have full confidence that if you out your mind to it, you could write a book. The next HP, maybe? And you can be a bajillionaire and not forget the little people [-o<

But seriously, if you want to be a writer and you're bored, why not write. Spend a few hours each day and write a novel. You a great writer, and if writing is what you want to do than do it! (the first draft of this comment included lots of examples and compliments but I cut it because I feel retarded drooling all over everything you write... :">:">:">)

:x

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

Thanks ♥

Yeah, I'm weirdly not worried about the job at all. I went out and bought a bunch of office clothes yesterday. Now I will get a job where you need to wear like, overalls or something.

Yeah, I was thinking about what I'd do to my lj if I applied for the job. For one thing I don't think I'd be allowed to keep it while I was actually doing the job; too much of a security risk.

It is impossible for me to put my mind to anything. The other day my bff and I had this elaborate fantasy based on Entourage where I was the next JK Rowling, she was my manager (E) and Sam was Turtle. Maybe Aja could be Johnny Drama. Aja Fiction.

Thank you for your faith T_T

[luckycharm-13.livejournal.com]

Now I will get a job where you need to wear like, overalls or something.

ksflk are you planning on entering the painting business?

Yeah, I was thinking about what I'd do to my lj if I applied for the job. For one thing I don't think I'd be allowed to keep it

sidjlsai omg. don't just disappear without warning, k? :-S

I think Sam as Turtle is the best comparison ever! Also, Entourage♥

[austere.livejournal.com]

That's such a cute painting.

Alias made me want to become a sexy secret agent. I wanted to join CSIS for the longest time. I'm really baffled by that now. I think interesting intelligence jobs are rather rare, anyway. Plus whenever I take IQ tests, I always score poorly on the visual-spatial spy skill stuff, like: (image of a chair at weird angle) WOULD THIS CHAIR FIT UNDER THIS TABLE? LOL!

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

I always idly consider working for ASIO just because I find the idea of being mysterious enchanting, but then I think about how on TV CIA and MI5 agents never seem to be able to go home. "When would I watch my jdramas..." I think.

[austere.livejournal.com]

Oh, and my Dell (Inspiron 6000) has been doing that flickering thing for months now. It only seems to happen when my laptop is on my bed, so I just blamed it on the power socket over there. Oh well. I recommend turning up the brightness on battery mode so you don't notice when it flickers.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

It's not so much the flickering that bothers me so much as the knowledge that it will eventually stop working at all. That's a good idea, though.

[panpipe.livejournal.com]

What did you use to paint that? I really love it. I'm also impressed by your boredom motivation :( for me, boredom just makes me want to be even more worthless and lazy.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

Acrylics. I'm not dedicated enough for oils.

My boredom motivation goes through cycles; two weeks of action, three months of inactivity. Repeat ad infinitum.

[pornography.livejournal.com]

I notice you have moocards friended. Does this mean you got yourself some of those...business cards... I can't think what else to call them.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

Sam wanted me to design some for us and I never got around to it, so no, I did not get myself any. I hope Sam does not see this comment and remember. I let her down

[samenashi.livejournal.com]

I DID REMEMBER AND I FELT REALLY ANGRY ALL OVER AGAIN

[emcyclopedia.livejournal.com]

y hai thar, fitz.

:(((((((((((((((((((((((( cats.


KDFHLSDKFHKSUEf SRY I WAS ATTRACTED BY YOUR PAINTING AND DECIDED TO COMMENT LIKE A LONG TIME AFTER. :( I feel like such a loser. omg.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

I do that all the time. *bonds*

[emcyclopedia.livejournal.com]

*bonds with you* *W*
