Man, it's such a kick in the egoface to be getting straight A's at one of the best universities in the country, have a squeaky clean record, be conversant in three languages and proficient with all different sorts of software AND STILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIND EVEN MINIMUM WAGE EMPLOYMENT. The job search is going pretty terribly. I have my inventory job with RGIS back, but since it's the summer and the economy is in the shitter, hours will probably be sparse to the point of barely paying the gas to drive to work. (Never mind that the job is absolutely revolting). It's so frustrating, and I'm desperate. I just filled out an application to clean up after goats. HI I LOVE GOATS PLZ HIRE ME.

Anyway, luckily, my lovely commissioners are taking some of the sting out of being unemployed! The response has been great--you guys rule! I hope to get them done as quickly as possible, but please be aware that I'm in the middle of finals right now.

To keep things tidy, here's a list of people who have contacted me so far:

1. *known-secret : Connor & Andy - PAID - FINISHED!
2. =Kip-Lee : Sam & Keller - PAID - FINISHED!
3. *Zim-Shady : Dein - PAID - FINISHED!
4. ~Artemis-Treed-U : Lionel & Quent
5. *isiriu : Arkady & Xavier
6. *Tonks-92 : Two charas (marker)


CHEAP COMMISSIONS! See [link] for details.


In other news, it was my 20th birthday on Wednesday! Unfortunately, I had to spend the day studying for finals, but the day before, my mom came up and took me out for Indian food, and my aunt stopped by with oatmeal cookies. My mom got me The World Ends With You for my DS, and in the spare moments I've been able to sneak to play it, it's pretty sweet, even if Tetsuya Nomura's designs are starting to get out of hand.

I can't believe I'm embarking on my third decade of life. I was feeling pretty old until my Illustrator class, which is mostly older professionals, found out I couldn't even (legally) drink yet and busted out laughing at my youth. I'm over teenage bullshit and so ready to be a twentysomething. I'm just glad to be alive these days. I love this city and I love my blossoming independence.


Last weekend was Spring Fling at my university, in which five thousand normally studious Jumbos drank from ten AM to ten PM and thousands of Natty Lite cans appeared in very creative places. The Dropkick Murphys headlined the concert, and they were the SHIT. I was in the pit and got kicked in the head by a crowdsurfer, had beer spilled on my hair, and was generally pummeled by massive drunk townies. The crowd was so crazy they broke down the barricade and jumped on the stage. So awesome XD

I absolutely adore LOST, but I hatehatehate Jack. Tonight's episode had so much Jack mush it made me throw up in my mouth. GODDAMN HIS CHIN AND FOREHEAD ARE SO GINORMOUS.
