Resume and cover letter are sent. I saw my chance to become a soulless corporate automaton and I'm reaching for the stars!

I was contemplating the nature of heaven last night. Is it really always Christmas there? If so, is that necessarily a good thing? Who wants to celebrate their son's death every day?
Catholics, that's who. They always have to feel bad for themselves.

Okay. Valid. I could never separate work from social life; not a sacrifice I'm willing to make, I guess. I work my friends and I friend my works. Then again, I sacrifice other stuff -- security, stability, assistants, drivers, maids, dry cleaning, parental respect, and this one pair of shoes I'm never gonna have. Those shoes really kill me, but the rest isn't actually a sacrifice to me -- just less shit I need to answer to.

I only went to college under one condition -- I wasn't gonna pay for it. So I went to McGill (which is free, cause I've got Canadian citizenship) and then transferred to NYU cause the suckers were willing to give me an academic scholarship. (That school is loaded.) Yeah, I busted my ass to earn that, and I had other jobs to pay for the books, housing, cocaine, whores, etc. . . But I didn't want any strings attached once I was done.

Now I'm thinking of going to an art school in NY that's free. VERY hard to get into, and it only offers an undergrad degree. But I don't care. It would be great to learn some skills, hone the craft, be the older woman to a harem of eighteen year old art fags. Yes.

So anyway. Thanks for sharing. Just remember, keep your options open even if/when you do get this stint at the ol' ladder. There are ways to pay off your loans that you could also be proud of doing and personally challenged by. Running a whorehouse, perhaps? I'm looking for a partner. . . .

New York ain't so bad. At dusk, anyway.

My brother's a programmer. He's also eager to do his own thing, he's got a great game idea, and wants to come back to NY. I'll work on it with him -- "creative consultant" -- cha-ching!

My medium is me. And you. The world is my medium. Shit, make that the universe. (Why limit myself?) I do film occasionally -- it takes a lot of time and you can't do it alone, usually. Video is more fun, animation & drawing & music are better still. Whatever keeps me out of the doghouse.

You can always make bank, cut out while you're young, and spend the rest of your life building bombs in Montana.
