Hello Internet

Whoops, it's been quite awhile hasn't it. I should feel sheepish, but I don't. There's been a lot going on. I graduated from JWU in May on the same day as my cousin K (Rhody Dreaming). That was pretty cool, considering that our graduations were on opposite coasts. I won a couple of awards from the school, and did my very first paid graphic work. This is my first summer of official adulthood (or at least I think of it this way).

I had originally planned to save money and be out of my house by the end of July, but this hasn't happened for a number of reasons. The job market here in RI is terrible right now, and I've been focused on paying off what's left on my credit cards in order to save/be able to start paying my student loans come November. I have one card left to pay off, thanks to a refund check from JWU (which I'll have to pay off later anyway, as it came out of my loan money, but I would rather pay all my bills to one place). I recently got a second job doing data entry for a marketing research company. I work from home (and I should be working now but I'm taking a quick break to play catch-up while I remember) and at Showcase when they remember to give me hours. I may be getting a new job to replace the theater, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this new job comes through. I'll refrain from elaborating until I find out whether or not I get it.

Things with D are going pretty well. He's really busy now that the Theatre by the Sea season has started. Some of the girls that he works with have been really terrible lately, taking flirting and suggestive comments far over the line. D is a friendly and flirty person by nature, he's a people person. I know this and enjoy it, but at present it's more of a curse for him. Work is very stressful for him right now, because these girls (one in particular) keep taking things too far. The one who steps the farthest over the line got put in her place yesterday, because D finally told her to just fucking stop it before he lost his patience. (I think she said something along the lines of "forget your gf for just one night" and then grabbed his arse). Good riddance to bad rubbish I say, but I feel bad that these people are ruining work for him. He used to love his job, and now he just feels burnt out. He's going away to England in September to see some friends, possibly for a month or so. I'm going to miss him, but he needs time away from everyone to put his head back on straight. He applied for a job at Marvel comics, and they may have something for him in a couple of months! I'm excited for him, it's a huge honor :)

Beyond working, I just try to see my friends and enjoy the summer while I can. I finally finished the Munny for my dad, I'll take decent pictures of it soon so I can upload them here. I've only done a little bit of drawing, which isn't too surprising I suppose since I don't do it much at all anymore. I'm experimenting with drawing one-panel diary comics just to keep in practice. So here we go, enough blathering, have some arts.



Was having a bloody terrible night at work yesterday. D's text cheered me up immensely though. It's the little things, you know?
