Rivkeh Yankee-Shoes... bashing about the BoE again

The job hunt is annoying, but finally bearing some fruit. I hopefully will not ever have to go into a new city under such circumstances ever again. But my indefatigable spirit, my relentless diamond hard resolve, my sheer humility, has been keeping me going. Now I just have to continue to suffer through interviews.

I'm reading this book called "The Botany of Desire" and it's really fascinating. So fascinating, that I haven't finished Les Miserables or it, and in fact have been spending more time writing my novel. Actually, I've been writing more in general now that I'm doing www.fangirlmag.com articles, the more I review brilliant people's work, the more I want to be brilliant people, and not just an old person who dabbles in rpgs and fanfic. Were that the case I would just tattoo "undateable" across my forehead. Although that might interfere with cosplay (JOKING).

Actually, despite my roommate's shock at my proclivity for comic books, British Literature, the Sci-Fi and Biography channels, and my in depth interest in the psychology of Batman in every incarnation, I haven't really been as geeky as usual. I'm separated from my "Geek Box" with all of my assorted nerd-dom, my X-box (painted Jedi blue), and most of my clothes.

So, I've been indulging my more hippy side, hanging about coffee houses, playing guitar in the grass, talking to random people, going to free art gallery openings, skulking about the library and the like. There's ridiculously a lot to do around here. It will be nice to have some money to do it with.

It's funny to think, since I joined hootoo I've crossed the U.S. about six times or so, been on a dozen smaller trips, met up with all sorts of online friends... but never a Researcher!

I hear that my dearest Jade and Zatokun are engaged smiley - bubblysmiley - bubblysmiley - bubbly and am planning to be in attendance at their wedding, probably dressed to the gills in pirate attire. I'm just sayin'....


smiley - love,

raych

Good luck with the job, I just got a part time job working for the corp of engineers in a hyrdoelectric powerplant. That and my campus job leave no more time for D&D so I've gotten a little less Geeky myself. If you are ever going to cross Branson let me know.

Unfortunately it's not a cruise ship job, it's a call center job. But I get a rather lovely discount on cruises....
