I asked for rain/a thunderstorm for my birthday, and I got it! ♥♥♥!

Also, LJ fixed the "invalid submission form" message so that it pops up your post under it instead of forcing you to hit the back button and having to completely redo it. Awesome!

D: Why did the internet have to go down the shitter at my hotel the very night the Visitors poll was posted? I gave up on doing anything RPG related during the week until I came home due to it, since I could only really do AIM, and no one told me about the poll, so...

FUCK.

My position on that whole health care reform thing:

In under two months from now, without a job that isn't retail, I will no longer have insurance. I cannot collect unemployment because I left my last job to go back to college. I am likely not eligible for Medicaid. With this economy, even applying to at least ten jobs a week, I am not likely to get an entry level position when more experienced workers apply for it.

So I'm all for a government run alternative for those who don't have insurance if it's done right.

Didn't get that job, either. That's 0/3 in terms of interviews.

I've been out of school for too long, so now I'm forgetting stuff and messing up questions every time.

Maybe I'm just not cut out for this field after all. Or maybe I need to fuck what Mom says about a constant job search and restudy my entire curriculum instead before searching some more.

Edit: Mom says the problem is that all the entry level positions are being taken up by those that are experienced. And because of the economy, employers are posting entry level positions that aren't actually entry level positions. Makes me feel a little better.

But I'm still jobless. And I doubt I can get a retail job, either. They're probably looking for perfection there, too.

Current Mood: depressed

Great, I think I just fucked up that interview, too.

I really suck at remembering anything.

Current Mood: frustrated

I need a picture of Yondaime/Namikaze Minato that shows surprise for a userpict. It's impossible to find, though, and I'm getting extremely frustrated.

Does anyone have a Doujinshi with an expression like surprise/shock?

Free Anime Studio 5! They're not kidding, either! FREE. And you don't have to give them credit card info, either.

XD; No idea how good it is, though. People will just have to play with it.

Dear Flist,

How can I convince my mother that calling the first day after the 4th of July weekend to ask about my resume is a VERY BAD IDEA? Because it is. I'm going to annoy the fuck out of people who just got back from vacation.

Auuuuuuugh.

Love,

Jenn

Edit: Okay, did as she told me to. =P I got two personnel voice mails (one called back.. only to say that they had no openings for entry level, which website confirms, bleck), one just said "please wait"/rang forever, and the last company not only didn't answer their phone, but their general mailbox was already full. WTF.

Now I'm applying to more places to make Mom happy. Ugh. I found one place that seems to have entry level positions, if you ignore the "1-2 years experience" thing.

The longer I listen to music on my computer, the longer I find myself turning the volume down and down. Winamp is at 19% volume and my master volume is at a comparable percentage. I bet my dad can't even hear this.

ALSO! My new camera arrived in the mail. Haven't had a chance to start playing with it.

And still looking for a job. Ugh. I just started to get calls about applications/letters I sent out about a month ago. People really aren't hiring right now, are they?

Edit: Also, there is an asdf.com. Similar to fearthedonut.com, but less obscure. I know of both simply because I randomly typed them into the address bar.

... Yeaaaaah, you read that right. I actually typed fearthedonut.com into the address bar many years back and laughed and laughed when I actually got a website. I was bored, in my defense.

Current Mood: weird

IF YOU READ THE SLEEPYFANS TRANSLATION OF THE CHAPTER:

ON PAGE 16, SASUKE DID NOT SAY KAGES. HE SAID HOKAGE.

CAN THEY EVEN READ FUCKING RIGHT? IT SAYS HOKAGE. HOKAGE. AS IN THERE IS A "HO" KANJI BEFORE THE "KAGE" KANJI.

WTF SLEEPYFANS. THAT IS A BEGINNERS' MISTAKE. COMPLETELY CHANGES WHAT SASUKE WAS SAYING!

:| Tried to avoid spoilers. Can't say the same for the comments.

I can't take it anymore. I love my old camera, but these nice new shiny cameras actually have things like image stabilization. It takes great pictures--as long as I use flash or hold perfectly still, which I can't do with my ADHD!

So I'm looking for a new digital camera. One that can take nice close-up shots of things such as insects but is good at things like faces in somewhat dark restaurants! Probably looking to spend about $200, max.

Any suggestions?

Edit: Got a camera! It's the Canon PowerShot A2000 IS, and I got the combo for the case/4 GB SD card (free!), and then the 10% off coupon code EMCDC10. So $160 or so with shipping for everything. SWEET.

Michael Jackson died.

Say what you will about him, but it's weird to have him gone.

I'm finding myself unable to muster up the energy to apply for anymore jobs because I just don't have much to look forward to right now.

Not going to Otakon, don't hang out with people (and feel too guilty about not applying to jobs to call anyone up to hang out), and whenever I try to use my adderall, I fucking dehydrate.

Edit: It's not that I'm depressed. It's just that I'm so fucking bored that I can't move or think or do anything. No stimulation. :| I'm having an ADHD attack, practically, because of it.

Edit 2: And now I've been told that I have a Vitamin D deficiency (it's at 24, when the lowest healthy score is at 30, but it should be more around 50-70 or something?) Even though I take a supplement that has 100% and drink milk. But I no longer have a gall bladder, and I've been having problems absorbing food for a while now? Hmm... and according to this, a lot of my symptoms are also caused by Vitamin B deficiency.

:| Maybe I'm just deficient in vitamins in general. i'll have to get some supplements and see if it helps... Ugh.

... ... Goddamn, I love this kid so fucking much!

... So far, not a single job I can apply for. Great.

How am I supposed to have two years of experience of no one will hire college grads...?

Edit: Okay, finding some companies now. :| Thank goodness.

Bachelor's in Aerospace Engineering with minors in Computer Science, Creative Writing (English), and Math!
