A Long Belated Hello

Sat Mar 28, 2009, 9:15 PM
I don't know what drove me to write in this journal. I haven't used it once in the four years I've been on DA. It feels strange, I guess, having nothing written in it; most Deviants have something, so why not me. Don't know if anyone will actually read this, so I'll make it short.

The good news is that I'm a month away from getting my master's degree. Yay! The bad news is that I'm a month away from searching for a job in this economy. Woe! I do have a part time job at a public library, which is well and good, I can't support myself on my current salary. I desire a job that will let me move out of my parents' house! THE QUEST BEGINS. >:O

Currently I have a problem involving student loans. Supposedly, I owe $15,000 on a loan I never signed a master promissory note for, never received a penny of, and was distributed while attending a school I've never set foot in. While I did take out loans while attending Wayne State, my current school, I signed the note for them, received notices about them from the lenders, actually got the money and they all show up on my credit report. No of these things can be said about this other loan. Don't worry, I'll get to the bottom of this.

Feel free to ask me any questions you might have about me, my art or my characters. It's unlikely anyone will, I think, but I might as well offer.

REQUESTS: Friends, people I watch and/or my active watchers only. You have to fall into one of these categories. Sorry.

ART TRADES: Most of the time I'll say yes. However, I might decline a trade if I'm busy or if your art is way below my own skill level. I'm sorry if that sounds elitist, especially since I'm not a great artist myself, but I want the art trade to be fair. Basically, I don't want to spend hours drawing a picture just to get a crude stick figure in return.

COMMISSIONS: lol! I'd offer, but I honestly think no one would pay for my art. I'm an extremely unpopular artist. Maybe once I get a few more active watchers I'll come up with prices and whatnot.

Well, I have a LiveJournal. I've always just written my thoughts there. Also, I've always be kinda scared to post information on art trades and request. The thought of no one wanting my art, even for free, is both painful and embarrassing. But I wanted to do it and the journal is best place to post that information. So I finally worked up the courage to post it. I'm a silly individual.

But, more importantly, actually using this journal encourages conversation, which will hopefully help me get to know people better. I care more about making friends on this site than the art aspect of it, at least during this point in time. Though don't get me wrong, I love posting, viewing and commenting on art.

Thank you for the well wishes. I fully expect a long and painful job hunt. Michigan is a barren, jobless wasteland, so I'm certain that I'll have to leave the state.

...I'm curious, what's your degree in?

...I'd pay for your art if I weren't so broke. ._.

Library Information Science. Yes, you do need a Master's to be a librarian. A lot of people are surprised when they learn that. A lot of public libraries are seeing their budget's cut, so I don't know I'll find anything there. Uncle Sam is hiring librarians, though.

Aww, that's sweet of you. :hug: I don't need the money anyway. My job pays well for what it is and I recently got a raise. You can make a request or do a trade if you want.

Oooh, government librarian job. That should have some steady work and nice benefits. Ugh, I know, freaking everything requires college these days. You need a Master's degree to be a health inspector, too.

I like trades. ^_^ Something for everyone! I do prefer i be of something you are actually interested in, though, so please let me know what you would like to draw.

Congrats on getting your degree soon! :D I wish you luck in finding a great job!

That sucks about that mystery loan. They can't actually make you pay anything back without a signed MPN, can they?

Right now anthros interest me the most. Whether they're original characters, fan characters, or canon to preexisting universe doesn't matter to me. Humans and fantasy creatures interest me, so I'd be willing to draw those if you'd like.
:icongeneralinquiry:
Thank you!

Yeah, I can't see how they can force me to pay if they have no proof I accepted the money or went to that other school. If someone signed that MPN, it wasn't me.

Could you draw my spider in your own style/original pose? And what would you like?
