I've been doing art a lot lately. Both makeup art, and digital art (as well as paper written art, although I have no scanner, so can't share it...sorry!).
First off, this lovely lady is UnnamedLegend (Emily) from Flight Rising. She's one of my dragons, and I did what I believe is called a "gjinka" of her. (when you draw an animal as a human)
This isn't art, but Poro was so adorable that I just had to share him. I had been gone for several days and he missed me, so he crawled up on my comfy chair and hugged my foot.
Black and white version of my makeup. Not quite as pretty, but still pretty enough
I thought I had more pictures of my makeup, but apparently not. I really want to get really good at my makeup, so I can do those fancy makeup designs that other people do. I have a really good idea for a gargoyle look.
Meet Volt. Volt is a dragon (duh). This species of dragon is called a "spiral" dragon. They are...well...basically noodles, which is why people call them noodles! One of the things they're said to do when they get bored is...well...tie themselves into knots. That's him tied into a knot.
This is Volt himself. If you click on him, it'll take you straight to his page! And if you scroll down, you can even read the lore I wrote for him!
So...other things I've been up to? Why has this week been busy? Well, yesterday, I woke up, and I had a missed call from a number that I didn't recognize. I googled it and it was from Wichita. I was hesitant, but I called, because I've been sticking out job applications left and right, and, lo and behold, the person calling works for a company out of Wichita, but were in a town just thirty minutes away. And...he wanted me to come in for a job interview at 2:45!
I panicked (sort of), and quickly cleaned myself up, got dressed, made sure I was all dressy and stuff, almost as if it was for church. But not quite. I actually can't remember what I wore right now. Oh. I remember my shirt. But I can't remember my skirt. This is gonna bother me now.
Anyway, I showed up for the interview and I think it went well. I was told that I would know by today or tomorrow.
BUT
Today I woke up, and almost immediately I got a phone call from, again, a number I didn't recognize. Turns out, it was the Casey's just two blocks down. They wanted me to come in for a job interview at 11:15. So, again, I hurriedly got all nicely dressed and went in for an interview.
We're in the back room, doing the interview. She's asking me the standard interview questions (oh my goodness, so many, and they're so confusing...like, one wrong answer, or the right answer phrased wrong and yikes). I was kind of caught of guard when she asked me why she should hire me over everyone else. I suppose this would be a good place to use the phrase, "a pregnant pause". I'm pretty sure my entire face just went blank.
I always have problems with job interviews and questions about yourself. I mean...there is a fine line between selling yourself and...um...selling yourself, if you know what I mean. I mean, honestly, you want them to think you know your strengths, but you don't want them to think that you think you're the only one in the world with your strengths in that magnitude.
Anyway. A nice job interview. She told me that she'd call me later today to let me know.
Roughly an hour ago, I got a phone call. It was the lady from Casey's.
And guess what.
The blog you are now reading, is officially run by a Casey's employee!
I go in tomorrow for training. I'm so excited! Nah, not my favorite job in the world, because it's not daycare or teaching, or something with little people, but I know I'll like it better than fast food. I've been praying for a decent paying job that I'll enjoy. Considering that the babysitting jobs God's given me have been enjoyable, I doubt he'll fail me on the enjoyable part now.
So.
Signing off from a small town in Kansas...your newest Casey's employee!
