Job Hunt and Entertaining Myself

Today I was surfing the web and trying to find a decent job. While looking on craigslist, I found an ad seeking erotic stories. I thought to myself: "Could I do that for a job?" I used to write dirty stories for my own entertainment, and I've written a couple of them for my honey. I think they've been pretty successful. But it sounds like this person just wants them sent directly for his private use, which is a tad bit weird. . . so I reconsidered on that one and moved on! I do have some intresting prospects though, and I plan to tweak my resume for each of them tomorrow. I can't work on it here, because I somehow uninstalled Microsoft Word from my computer, and now I can't put it back on. I've been planning on buying Office 2007 anyway.

In other news, I've been thinking again about freelancing, and sending some poems out for publication consideration (real, literary journal stuff, not poetry.com-like scams). Jeff Ingliss of the Portland Phoenix told me to send freelance work anytime (after he told me I didn't get the job A&E Listings Coordinator last year), so maybe I'll look into that. I will provide updates on all this fun stuff.

I have been cruising iVillage's message boards for fun. I love the Taboos board! Of course, people aren't allowed to get too graphic, but it's still good fun. I've also completed two new items for my etsy shop. I think once I have fifteen new things, I will start posting them for sale there. I also have at least 50 ATCs to make by the end of this month. That's just obscene. Well, I can't help it! All these great swaps on swap-bot.com and I am totally defenseless and swept away by the raging tide of themed creation. Ah well. We all have our vices.

I never made it to the powwow, by the way. I really wanted some fry bread, but alas, the weather sucked yesterday, and I didn't want to drive the 40 minutes there for it to rain after we'd been there for an hour (that sounds ridiculous, but this is the kind of bad luck compounded between my fiance and I).

Ta for now, lovelies!
