my set went up! i'm naked! woo woo woo! i'm really happy with how it turned out.. i love green..
thank you so much, all of you who left comments here and on the boards.. i'll respond to as many of them as i can, but there's an awful lot! so many people said so many wonderful wonderful things.. i've grinned and blushed more times today today than in a long time.
i had my job interview today.. it didn't go so well. so on my resume, i say that i'm "proficient" in german. by that, i mean that i'm basically ok in it - i can read some and understand some, but i can't just slip into it effortlessly like a fluent speaker. so the interviewer greeted me in german. for a fucking $7/hr job. i said, "kein Deutsch, bitte.." he looked at me and said, kind of smugly, "but you said you were proficient..." i had to explain.. then they kept asking questions about my future plans.. they want someone going into a healthcare profession.. which is not me. i think it's interesting, but i'm not going to do it for the rest of my life. they didn't sound happy. lastly, when they were asking how long i planned to stay, i told them that my fiance has supported me through school, so i plan to return the favor - i.e. i'll be at the job for awhile. they looked at me kind of blankly and said, "but you won't be able to do that on $7/hr." which is true. so i doubt i'll get a call back.. i'm going to start applying to temp agencies next week..
the upper corner of the bathroom window caught my eye and dazzled me today.. it was paved roughly with condensation, but the drops didn't get heavy enough to drip down the window. i actually had to touch it, because it looked as though the window was made of shattered safety glass. the pattern was like giraffe spots or turtleshell. it was all basically clear, and kind of a dull silvery grey, except for the places where the sun hit. and those exploded into sparkling prisms... like the ripples of afternoon sun on a lake, but more colorful. i've worn that color of glitter around my eyes - iridescent like soap bubbles or oil slicks. i just stood there, transfixed, for i have no idea how long. maybe five minutes... moving my head slightly back and forth, watching the sparkles leap from drop to drop.
i think that maybe i'm going to get my tongue re-pierced while i'm job hunting - like right after graduation.. i don't anticipate getting anything within a week or two, and that'll give it time to heal enough to talk clearly and not really hurt that much.
i have to decide what to wear under my gown for graduation. i think that on my cap i might use a white-out pen to write the first bit of ulysses.. "stately plump buck mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed." (when i was writing that i almost wrote "lazer ray crossed"... ) but under my gown? i have an oriental-style dress kind of like aya has on in her set, only purple with yellow, sliver, and lavendar chrysanthemums. it's a little longer, too. i have a little backless black dress, and a longer clingy silky leopard print dress. i have tight black pleathery plants. what do y'all think?
ok.. time to go.. maybe sleep.. too bad there's not a sleepy icon.. *drowsy*
goodnight!
