It's raining....

And rainy days either make me very energetic or very sleepy.

It's a sleepy kind of rainy day and sadly, that is not what I need because sleepy equals lazy and lazy leads to thinking and thinking is bad right now. Really REALLY bad.

And do you have any idea who hard it is for a student to get a job when they are scared of males they do not know, get nervous in crowds, have more visible scars then people are use to seeing (especially on a female) and is deathly allergic to two fairly common foods?

Really hard.

And many people are suggesting secretary work but I know myself. I despise phones most of the time, hate talking to strangers on them and sitting in an office all day is a major depression trigger for me. I need to be active or at least be able to have the option of getting up and moving and doing various things.

And normally I would suck it up and suffer through it, but after this year, I don't need anything else that is going to help speed up the major break-down that is coming.

I guess all I can do is focus on getting stuff ready for the cons and after I'm completely up to date with sales and commissions just accept more. I mean, the Yamamoto/Gokudera stuff is feeding me right now, so that's a good thing right? And it's also why I've been torturing you guys with so much of it...

But I should stop whining and get back to work. Less then a month to Anime North and still so much I want to have done for then. Going to try and take a break from Reborn stuff tonight though, so we shall see what I can create.

If that's supposed to be torture, we must be masochists because I'm pretty sure we're enjoying it. =)

Can't offer any sage advise on the job front - something in a mail room would give you the option of moving around while making deliveries, but might be too office-y (and therefore cause more stress than it's worth).

You people are far too good to me.

And well, we shall see what happens with work. I'll hope for the best and deal with it as it comes.

Mmmh...you like annimals, don't you? Would it be possible to get a job with them? I know some of my friends worked part-time in a kennel during summer breaks, so maybe something like that? You can move around much and interact more with annimals than with people...
Really, good luck in finding something that is good for you!

There are a few boarding houses and such around here, so I'll check that out. Thanks!

*hugs* I'm so sorry you feel that way. The only thing I could think of that might help with money is the Artist's Market which is a list of freelance art things.

Don't worry it's glorious torture ^_^ But remember that we're happy to just know you, with or without your art.

I love you darling *hugs*

Oh if I could make a living off my art I would be a very VERY happy person. I'll check it out and see what happens.

*loves you too*

(random huggins on)

Do you know [livejournal.com profile] ani_mama? She's a professional animator in addition to a FF7 fan, and she's awesomely friendly, and her work load comes in bursts and spurts. (From her latest do-list, it sounds like she's had one of the bursts recently.)

She might have some tips on who's having work bursts and/or where to find summer freelance jobs? She'd definitely have stories on what it's like making a living with art, since she does it too...
