How I did it
How to get a cool design job
It took me
3 years
It made me
stupid

How I did it: Since I was not able to find design work that was satisfying to me, I left my soul-sucking, dull design job and started my own business, publishing a magazine. Having all the creative control and implementing my artistic visions is a lot more satisfying than working for someone else. Sure, sometimes the subject matter is not something I am passionate about, and I still have to deal with clients' opinions, but the direction & style of … Read how I did it…

How to find a new job
It took me
1 month
It made me
stupid

How I did it: I was looking for a new job and interviewing for nearly 3 years. Unexpectedly, the opportunity arose for me to start my own business. I did it in an amazingly short amount of time! It's too soon to say that it's a complete success, but it has a lot of promise and is off to a good start.Update: It has gone very badly....very, very badly. I regret it all... :((((( Read how I did it…

go shopping in my closet
I love clothes, 1 month ago

and I love the novelty of NEW clothes. New colors, new textures, new patterns, new shapes to wear. It lifts my spirits; I admit I get a high from buying & wearing something new. But I have a LOT of clothes, and I am broke lately, so I can’t buy new clothes. I realize they are not exactly the most practical investment anyway, but it feels like art supplies to me: tools to self-express. Fashion is an art to me. However, I am trying to see working with “old materials” as a creative challenge.

Instead of shopping with money I don’t have, I am making an effort to shop in my own closet. I have so many clothes that many have been forgotten. I am going to try different combinations, revive old pieces by wearing them in new ways, and rotate things more thoroughly so I get sick of an item less quickly.

identify 100 things that make me happy (besides money) (read all 8 entries…)
New 33 1 month ago

to replace that last one, now voided by me.

33. Pondering fascinating theory – I realize this makes me a major nerd, but it can occupy my mind endlessly and excite me like almost nothing REAL can. I just love IDEAS.

meet new people (read all 5 entries…)
In typical fashion, 1 month ago

this has proven to be entirely out of my control. When I made an effort to meet new people, my effort was in vain. When I make no effort, people magically fall into my lap. I haven’t made any close friends recently, but made many acquaintances with whom I have casual friendships. I still feel a little “outside” and would prefer to have just a few close friends, but it’s an improvement.
