PICS
i <3 my job.
like woah.
the best part is, 90% of the merchandise is under lock and key and the rest is "do not touch" so nothing really ever gets messed up. no more cleaning the same aisles over and over and over.
the other best part is that they let us sit down when we're not helping customers.
the other other best part is that i'm already learning about jewelry in a functional and business sense - how to make things more wearable, more durable, marketable, etc.
and i get paid weekly instead of bimonthly. and this opens all sorts of doors for me, career-wise. and if i ever get around to starting my own little product lines, i might be able to sell my stuff in the store. and the dress code is business casual, so i can wear t-shirts as long as they don't have writing on them and they don't care about my tattoos. and my coworkers are all really nice and promote a drama-free, relaxed environment. and i get at least one day of the weekend off (this week i get friday through sunday).
omg. i'm so happy.

i just got a job at a local non-chain jewelry store that makes all of its own jewelry. i am beyond excited. i've been trying for a jewelry job for over a year now and i finally got one -- a good one -- and they're starting me at a quarter above my asking wage. hott.
watch out, world.
watch out, world.
i want to buy someone else's foreclosed house. it's all i could afford in terms of home ownership. i would turn someone else's misery into my dream. for cheap. now that's the american way.
meet eloise, my new necklace. long story short, two or three weeks ago, a neighbor of mine found three tiny kittens under his tool shed. his solution was to scoop them up with a shovel and rake, put them in a bucket and throw them in the trash. my other, infinitely cooler neighbors saw him about to trash the babies, and ran over and confiscated them. we have been raising them and they now are living with me and antimony until they are of age to move in with their new families, except eloise who is stunted, half blind and pretty well mentally retarded. she will be staying with us most likely.
well kids, with schoolwork done i finally got off my ass and made myself a little portfolio site. don't get too excited - i'm using a psuedonym comprised of really common names so don't think you can stalk me from it. 
but anyway, it's 95% done, so come lemme know what you think

my first attempt at enamelling:
the piece itself in unfinished, but, this is the majority of the way done. enamelling is teh hard.
