-giant thumbs up of good will-

Thank-ya. ALTHOUGH WHATEVER WILL I DO WITH THIS SECOND HAND STORE?

.____.
OH GOD SO MANY PUNS ARE IN THERE

I DUNNO IF THIS WARRANTS THAT OR NOT. IT DOES NOW.

Goodwill is too cool for you. B3

Nuh-uh. I'm cooler than old lady shirts. >:C

What about slightly-stained wedding dresses?

Or creepy knick-knacks found only in the retirement homes of hell?

Also, sometimes, really cool ties
that upon closer inspection
have really suspicious somethings on them.

THIS IS WHY THE ONLY TIE I HAVE CAME FROM A J.C. PENNEY.

And it was bought new.

That's pretty important to specify, I guess.

>_> Yeeeah, all my ties but ONE come from Value Village or Good Will.

I only have two; one is the orange one I bought (BEST EVER), and the other is one I got from my dad.

YAY JOBS!

I'M ACTUALLY THE MOST HAPPY ABOUT THAT PART.

THIS IS A GOOD THING

I WILL NOW NO LONGER FEEL LIKE A WASTE OF SPACE

YOU NEVER HAVE BEEN A WASTE OF SPACE

YOU

STOP BEING A PESSIMIST

NO.

I'MMA ZOMBIE.

STOP JUDGING ME.

I WILL BRING ABOUT THE MOST PUNGENT APOCALYPSE KNOWN TO MAN IF YOU DON'T STOP.

A WORLD THAT SMELLS OF A THOUSAND ROADKILLS.

So, things are going along, then.

Thankfully. After all the shit I've done this summer to jump through hoops, I damn well hope it's going along, LOL.

Augh, it's just a relief to see that everything turned out okay so far, I guess. Though, I am one of these people who wigs out because of ~change~, so the new scenery and shit are likely gonna take some getting used to. Hence, the stress, hahaha.

Totally understandable.

You get to work with the art department? That sounds awesome! What does the job entail, I wonder? *CURIOUS*
I got to work with the art department at the college I used to attend but... it was mostly grading projects/portfolios and making a gazillion syllabus copies, hahah.

I'm sure it'll take a while to get settled, but you'll probably feel awesome once you have. Moving out and having to completely rely on yourself = gigantic confidence boost, I've found.

Dunno what the job entails yet, since the e-mail only said something about the art department and who I'm working under. My guess is doing random grunt work like that, LOL. I gotta meet with the guy Tuesday at, like, noon. Hopefully, my sister can tell me where the building is since, uh... I have no idea how to get around the campus aside from random places here and there that I've already been to.

And yeah, I'm actually... pretty excited to FINALLY get some breathing room, as it were. I'm just really weird about change, sort of. Biggest thing right now is re-learning where everything is, though having family in the area may alleviate that. If I get lost, just call somebody and have them give me directions. XD;

It'll probably be grunt work in that case, yeah. I was mostly wondering if you were going to get a TA position or something (which afaik, is possible if you do grunt work long enough haha). Either way, that's pretty cool! I'm assuming that's paying for housing? My friend who's in a university works on campus as a tech...uh, something-or-other to pay for her dorm room, pretty sweet deal!

It's good you know people there who can help out :D Even a bit of familiarity is always a good thing.

Man, everyone is going off to school right now. I AM KIND OF JEALOUS. I keep being like "I SHOULD SIGN UP TO A COLLEGE AND GET A HERPETOLOGY DEGREE FOR FUN" before realizing how ridiculous and far-fetched that idea is :B

Not too farfetched. And even if you end up doing a different sort of work, that is one HELL of a degree to have. I seriously considered it myself, after my sister kept talking on Facebook about her herpetology class. That she took in high school. WHY DIDN'T I HAVE COOL CLASSES IN HIGH SCHOOL?

Coolest I had was networking and PC repair. >:C


And, actually, a massive chunk of it is going to be paying for tuition itself. Also, books, hopefully. Though that will mean a BIGGER chunk gets taken out, if I understood the explanation correctly. Ain't that I care, though, LOL. So long as I don't have to take out a loan, I am cool.

AS FOR GRUNT WORK, I'm fine with that, haha. Even if I'm reduced to cleaning paintbrushes, somehow the fact I'm gonna get a job in the art department makes it better. |3

Also, I miss having a job SO BAD. I've felt kind of like a mopey knot on a log since losing my last one. :<

Well it'd be a bit far-fetched considering I'm more of a hobbyist when it comes to herpetology, I don't think I'd want to do it as a profession... so that would be a lot of money and time spent on a hobby, haha. I'm good with being an artist |3 I guess I just want an excuse to work more with reptiles and be certified to do so, since I keep trying to volunteer at herp rescues but uh... I don't seem qualified to them, sadly.

And oh man, jealous of your sister holy crap D:

Sweet deak, ANYTHING but a loan is a good thing imo. When I was thinking about art school, my friend was trying to get me to get a loan under the pretense "who cares if you'll be in debt for the rest of forever, you'll get the education you want!" Yeah, no thanks amigo.

Yeah, I kind of miss having a... "regular person job." I mean, as much as I hated my last job, having a schedule I didn't have to set myself was something I took for granted with how disorganized I am :|

BONEWALKER.

OH GOD.

I will curse you and then you will have to drop ALL YOUR STUFF to walk to safety. Unless you get really drunk. Drunk apparently beats zombie curses.

*chugs and chugs and chugs*

IT IS THE ONLY WAY.

THIS IS FOR THE GOOD OF THE WORLD *CHUG CHUG CHUG*
