And what do I have to show for it???

Lots and Lots and Lots of words.

So. New stuff?

*looks around the room*

I never knew I had a desk underneath all that rubbish... Or a floor for that matter and all that stuff in boxes I had forgotten all about. Man I collect a lot of CRAP!

I now have a BIG box filled with scrap stuff to throw out *gasp* - anyone want it? Pick up only hehe - and there is some 'crap' in there - but a few good things too - like some prima's :o - well left over ones that I'm never going to use [brown's and blues] I emptied them out of the bottle into a bag and then thought "what the hell am I keeping the bottle for?", So their might even be an 'empty' prima bottle in there [hey I was in the lazy faze of cleaning - if I had to think to long it went in the box!] There are also mags that I don't want [doubles of ones I have been published in - I'm not keeping two copies of the mags!]. When I went to the scrap meet-ups for scrapboxx I use to get rid of a pile of mags, would hate to think how many mag's I'd have if I kept them all!!! As I'm not planning to go to anymore scrapboxx meet ups ... I throw 'em in the box with the rest of the stuff. So if you want the box let me know - and you have to take the whole thing :P all the 'crap' as well!!

Didn't mention it yesterday, but I went a hunting for business cards for my assignment and have to say it was so 'strange' to go into places and ask them for a business card. Only had one very 'negative' response from a some skinny blonde chick at Jenny Craig [someone should feed her maybe she'd not be as cranky!] I asked her if they had a business card I could have - and explained why - she looked at me if I had just asked her where the local maca's was!!! Gosh would hate to think how she deals with REAL customers - I wasn't planning to go to Jenny Craig any time soon - but hell now I'm even less planning to!!! [I saw an add last night $7 a week for JC and went yeah right not with crab face on front desk she'd make me wana go find the local maca's!!!] *smiles sweetly*

And for the complete opposite - I had an EXTREMELY positive experience when I went into a sign writing shop to 'nick' one of their cards - [was the first store I went to actually] and when I explained that I was doing graphic design at tafe - the women goes "do you have a resume?" - my jaw dropped my eyes went big and went "Um no but I could get one" ... hehe she said they don't have anything going at the moment but it's worth dropping one in!!!! {wow} - so I have put this down in my book to remember. I'm not going to do it 'now' because I don't have the experience to really apply - but I'm thinking after my first semester I'll go back in there ...

I'm also thinking of maybe doing some volunteer work at the local red cross store... To get a bit of work experience behind me as I NEED some customer service - general work experiece behind me to get a job at the end of all this - want to make it look like I'm willing to work and not some unemployed no hoper!

In other news - I brought the cutest little handbag today - which is a freaking strange thing for me to type - I'm so not a girl girl - I have one handbag and that's it - one that I didn't even buy just nicked off my mum!! I don't do the whole handbag/shoe/jewelry/make-up/perfume thing... Not me at all!! - but this bag was way to cute and I had to have it!! It was only $10 so WOOT It's a pair of jeans!!! - just the top bit. It's also very practical, good set of pockets etc - so rocks hehe

Later at the shops I also found myself looking at earrings. It was at this point I had to go and have a lie down. Don't know what had come over me. I haven't worn earrings in four years or more - I NEVER wear earrings. I never buy earrings. The last set of earrings I got where for valentines day I believe [what year I wouldn't know] and where silver stars!

So yes - cigarettes might kill you - but if not smoking means I start buying shoes, handbags, jewelry, make up etc etc... I think I'd rather the cigarettes!!! :P
