That really sucks Addy. I hate drinking alone.
So tomorrow I'm turning in an app at Comfort Suites. I'm hopeful I'll get it since this weekend is the first tourist weekend and they can hire immediately. They'll most likely need it. It's suppose to be beautiful this weekend.
The bad part is that it's only part time, so even with the job, I'll still have to look for another job. It'll be easier with one job under my belt, as they can call the hotel for reference and s**t but still, I feel like I'm going two steps forward and one step back.
Of course, this is if I even get the job. I try to remain optimistic, I mean if Bogie can get a job then surely I can, but still, it's starting to feel like a fruitless endeavor.

So one of the billions of apps I put in has finally paid off. I am now gainfully employed.
It's part time housekeeping but I make 8.00 bucks an hour and, as long as its under 600 bucks, he won't take out taxes and he'll pay me cash at the end of the day.
Now if only I could find a job with benefits...

By benefits, Bogie, I mean dental and health.
Mainly dental. I still have a wisdom tooth I'd like to get removed without become a bounty for lack of payment

Sorry, Bogie, but I'm not that hardcore.
Plus I'd be missing out on an excellent opportunity to get Novocain, which is seriously one of my favorite drugs. I could probably talk them into giving me laughing gas too, so I could laugh at fox news for an hour again

Last time I had dental work done they gave me too much gas and I tripped, while he was drilling out a tooth.
And then time distorted and I had a bad trip and started freaking out, thinking that I'd been in that chair for YEARS and my entire life was just imagined and I couldn't remember what my real life was.
:'D Good times.

Okay, so
I had a portfolio presentation class last semester, with the actual presentation being April 2nd. I passed, but not as well as I'd hoped.
In the months leading up to the presentation, I felt really good about it. I saw the work that passed with FLYING colors and honestly? I believed I was better than that. I still do, actually, all things considered.
Then a "friend" started hounding all the art I posted. She'd redline it without my permission, literally redraw the entire ******** thing from scratch, and tell me what sucked and why I was so bad at things. She never had a single nice thing to say and never left one thing untouched. This was causing me to redo things with a fast-approaching deadline for this class, and when presented with "I LITERALLY DO NOT HAVE TIME TO FIX IT" I was just met with "excuses!" and I'm apparently just a ******** failure at illustration.
Anyway, I managed to get enough work done to present my portfolio. Which ******** bombed in my eyes. They completely ignored two of my BIG pieces (aka the comic I spent literally months working on), in favor of work that I told them was two years old. (For this presentation, we had to show older work and then newer stuff, to show our progression so far.) They nitpicked my old work. They told me what was awful about my old work.
I told them my main focus was on the comic books I paid $30 to print and they were HOLDING IN THEIR HANDS. They didn't even read it.
I passed. The class is technically pass/fail only, but we're given handouts with marks for how well we did in one area. You have to pass 3/5 areas with all five people critiquing, and I actually failed in two areas with two professors. Because they focused on old work and completely ******** ignored new work. Despite knowing this, though, I'm still a total wreck about that whole thing.
The only saving grace for that was my professor asking to keep one of the copies of the comics. Even my own mother wasn't interested in it when I went home that weekend to show her.
My confidence in my art has been totally destroyed since this and tonight I actually ******** cried over this. So I'm bitching about the crying. Because this was two months ago. Why did I have to internalize it this long?
Maybe I can actually ******** do something about it now. :/

He told me he really liked me then, suddenly, stopped talking to me. DAFUQ! I really like him too but, he's making it impossible what with the whole silent treatment thing.
EDIT: He finally spoke to me but it was just long enough to ask for tit pics D: I really know how to pick 'em, don't I.
Oh and Addy, I'd love a copy of your comic

I joined a HP RP Guild recently that takes place while Lily and James and people like that are in school, along with some original characters. The Captain and Vice Captain play most of the Canon players official making them NPCs.
So far it seems fine but I keep sneering when I read their posts cause they're not following Canon. I literally have to suppress the urge to yell at them.
The level of mad I am at them can only be compared to how mad I get when people confuse Jango Fett and Boba Fett.

Aw, thanks Dak. c: I dunno if I'm gonna give away any more copies as-is, I need to really fill in a lot of gaps. It's supposed to be 24 pages but only six or so are complete, so. Someday I'll get that done up and posted. You get a freebie. <3 (Planning on selling print editions for $3-5 a piece, depending on print prices.)
I feel a lot better getting that off my chest. I'm still really bad about my art self-esteem but it's getting better. A sorta-friend tried shitting all over everything I've done but then I thoroughly showed him up by proving that I am nowhere near as bad as he was making me out to be. So that's a good thing. :'D
