i might know of some one that is lookin for a room . what state do you live in ?

\"Someplace in the Redmond/Issaquah WA area (or within 15-30 mins of Issaquah)\"

I.E. Washington.

oh gotcha . its been a long day . kant really put much in to perspective . ill post a topic on my forum group n see what happens

Looks like we're in the same boat. I'd like to move out of my dorm, but it's difficult to move for me, since I'm on Guard Pay (they don't have the Basic housing allowance), unless I go AGR.

Sorry. I'm in San Diego. It's so close to Mexico, that you could see the border right from the 5.

I'd offer (*is up in Everett*), but I just signed an 8 month lease on my single bedroom apartment, and Everett is probably a little far.

I'm In MO so no help there, but I'll ask some of my friends on SL if ya want.

Well, i'd move out to that area and share a place with ya, but i'd have to pay off all my debt, and find a job up there.

I'm too far north of you and still have 10 months on my lease, or else I'd easily move. Plenty of 3 beds for around 900.

Yeah I WISH I could afford a place of my own without roomies, but being a relatively unskilled worker with no career prospects, I'm pretty well bound to needing someone else to help pay bills. If only I could figure out what I want to do in life... But that's another story.

K'sharra... your incredible talent hasn't given you any prospect of a possible career opportunity, or is there something wrong with this country?

What are your plans for the future? I myself had to bite the bullet and move out. Both my own roommate and I have jobs. It's the only way it could have been done.

Work hard, K'Sharra. I'm not here to talk to you like your parents, but I am informing you of one thing: You need to have work. That's how it goes, as much as you hate it. Lord knows I hate it, too. And skills come with time: you need to start at the bottom of the ladder.

And you can't leech off of people.

I respect you as an artist, and I admire your talent. Always have, always will.

Just remember:

If life deals you lemons: Make lemonade.
If life deals you tomatoes: Make a Bloody Mary.
If life deals you shit: Grow a rose.

I have a job. It's a fun job for a good reputable company, and it has benefits. That's the only reason I went for one with such low pay, really. I'm hoping they'll upgrade me to full-time, and I'm supposed to get a raise after 6 months. But none of that is certain, so I'm not banking on it.

I don't want to leech off people. I'd much rather be self-sufficient like I used to be. I just... don't know what to do. This art talent I have? Worthless. It comes and goes. I haven't been able to draw in months. I seize up whenever I take commissions. I have serious difficulty with essential things like lighting and contrast, backgrounds, composition, and design. I don't have what it takes to be a career artist. At best it's a supplement to any real income I get.

I tried a career in customer service. I had a nervous breakdown and had to go on pills to cope with everyday life. I tried a career in massage therapy. I put myself in thousands of dollars of debt and ruined my hands and arms potentially for life. I know I have to start from scratch to get anywhere, but not only do I not know where to start or what direction to go in, I'm now scared to death that I'll wind up making another wrong choice and screwing my life up even worse. I know that's not a good standpoint, but...

If we've misunderstood each other, then let's make it clear: there is no disrespect.

What you believe your talents to be, curiously worthless, I'm not quite sure I understand this. The badge you did for me is fantastic, and I find your characters to be very appealing and beautiful.

Customer service isn't for everyone, but this life is about a few things: Selling a product, making a product to sell, and enforcing the law. Cash must exchange hands before the economy can move, and the only way it'll do that is if a decent product is created.

Would it baffle you if I actually wanted to buy your work because I thought it was good? ;)

Nervous breakdowns happen. I get them all the time. I just let the past go, get back up, and do what needs to be done. Same thing if I had a good day, I just put it behind me.

Even Michael Jordon put both his good and his bad days behind him. That's how he became great. Concentrate on the here and now.

Quit insulting yourself, Ksharra. Frankly, I really like your work, which is one of the reasons why I've decided to watch you. I've been watching many artists evolve over the years. With each pic they get better and better. TaniDaReal, an artist from Germany whom I've known for nearing 8 years now, I got to see her better herself over the years, and it's been an honour. I'm not comparing you to her, but just making a point.

Betterment comes with time. Don't give up.

And I did say "to HELP pay bills". I don't want anyone to have to pay bills for me. But there's no way I can afford rent and utilities by myself.

hehe id help ya but i think i live a tidy but far away" in sweden" so ^^::

Hmm... I'm probably one of the few that actually lives near enough to be able to do something like that, but... I don't wanna live in Redmond. ;_;

I'm living down in Kent right now, not -too- far away. And the lease on my apartment is almost up.

Lease on my apartment almost up meaning that I might be able to move out of the complex or upgrade to a two-bedroom apartment or what have you.

I'd love to help too, but I'm quite a bit away.. in Ohio.. >.< But even if you don't get a new place, I hope you have a Merry Christmas and happy new year :)

I'd be willing to help out also, but I'm in the in OK city, hahaha.
Quite a ways away. XD

Good luck though. *half grins half shrugs*

Interesting, I'm looking for a room mate. Issaquah is in my neck of the woods too, although I currently live just outside Enumclaw, Washington. Issaquah would extend my commute a bit, but not much. You're probably not looking at shacking up with a guy, though. Rent is kind of expensive in the Issaquah area. Remote possibility I'd be interested. I'll be hard to get ahold of until Jan. 3rd, but you can get me at snistrtaz[at]hotmail.com or note me here. Email me for other contact information. I'm a clean freak and like cats, but I wouldn't be interested in sharing an apartment with a big dog or anything like that. I can be leinant with rent if you can't pay for some reason, but I was suckered once before, and won't be again. One month is okay as long as you take care of it the next.

But hell, you should move out to the Auburn/Covington area. TONS of retail stores and new businesses out there that will be sure to pay you $8.50. I don't know anyone who doesn't pay more than $8.00, and certainly a bunch who pay more than $8.50. Rent is cheep too. Been thinking of moving out in that area myself. Anyways, give me a ring if you're interested and we can talk about it. I could pay the rent on my own, but I'd like a roomate to help buffer the costs.

Yeah, I've done some thinking about that. I've only had my current job a couple of months, and the pay is pretty low. The MAIN thing is that, even with the relatively low pay, they DO have benefits. And that's a pretty good thing. I am worried that they don't generally hire full-time though, and I'm wondering if I should just suck it up and try for another call center job, since there seem to be so many around. And I'm good at it, if I can just find a company that isn't going to put me into conniptions. >.o *twitch* But I'll be needing something more solid than my part-time retail job (that is currently working me full-time hours for holidays) if I strike out on my own.

We'll see.

Yeah, I'm on the other side of the nation in Virginia, that wouldn't work. x.x I was gonna say, because me and  tierafoxglove are moving to northern VA come May and we need someone to fill  chaoscroc's slot since he ain't following with us.

Oh well.

I'm wanting a roommate for my spare room. Unfortunately, I'm on the other side of the country in PA. Know anybody over here looking for a place that's as responsible as you?

May I suggest one thing, FULL SAIL computer animation program

Well, I'm just a casual surfer here at FurAffinity, and I dabble more in writing than I do art nowadays, and I'd love to ffer, but there's a few problems:

1.) I'm in TN, BUT .. I'm moving to WI soon. (Got a friend I'm roomin' with.)
2.) I've been to WA .. love it there .. too bad I'm too short on cash to make the trek.
3.) Something tells me you wouldn't be to keen on living with a roommate who is also a fan of your work. >_>

But either way, I wish you luck!
