WHY HELLOOO THAR.

Havn't updated anything on DA for months, I am sorry! It's not because I've been busy, it's because I am lazy and a big crap. I've now finished my course (with a Merit, woo) and have been looking for a job for the last couple of weeks.

No luck though, as I am actually qualified for nothing! Who would have thought artists would be out of work eh?

:confused:

Last month was the FINAL SHOW, which was exhausting but strangely rewarding. My final piece (a film about fear) terrified a few small children, so that made the long, hard slog of making it all worthwhile. Last time I wrote on here I promised to upload all my films, and I have! On YouTube... Eventually I will upload them all onto DA, but gradually as I can't make any more until October. Promise.




I get the feeling my parents don't think film is a proper art form, they keep hinting that they want me to 'do paintings'. I think they are worried I will starve, if I don't make solid work that I can put a price tag on.

They are probably right, my films are hideous, but it's not like I'm going to forget how to paint.

I'm moving to Nottingham in October, living in university halls, next to a brewery! Can't describe how terrified I am! Hooray! Hopefully the nightlife will rock my socks off, but won't half miss going down Mansfield with these guys.

glorious us
(contrary to my expression, I really enjoy our nights out)

For my 19th birthday, luverly Tom got me a TATTOO! I feel like a real woman now. It's ivy leaves on the top of my arm, reminds me of my favourite things: green, nature, old buildings and Gormenghast. It's a blast.

If you can't guess, I have started reading Mervyn Peake's 'Titus Groan' again! HOOOWWWAAHH! I bloody love it, it's like coming home. If home was a huge decaying castle, filled with ugly mad people. I'm doing some fanart, because when I read the Gormenghast trilogy it sends me a bit strange. And I can't believe what a prat I am for missing THIS.


(Fuchsia's loving it)

A David Glass Ensemble theatre production, sigh. And this all-girls one looks insane, just CLICK the link and look at the madness! Just shows you what you miss when you don't keep tabs on your interests. Baww.

:tears:

Got a new subscription, but Version 6 of DA is the bane of my life. WHY YOU NO WORK? Oh, it's because your crap.

GLORIOUS PEOPLE!

hello there!
i'm looking for a job too. I'm in the same sinking boat as you...no previous employment meaning no-one wants me, not even mcdonalds or tesco O_O
however i've just applied to go on the dole :D you should do the same and screw the government for every penny you're entitled to!

just because i'm losing, doesn't mean i'm lost.
:iconkinkybootz:
I've tried the dole, but they said I can't go on it until September, as I'm coming straight from education and havn't had a job before. Can you get it? How?! XD

They actually sent me back with some child benefit form, telling me to re-apply for that. It had a teddy bear on the front, how fucking humiliating.

I can't get a job either! The Job Centre is the most depressing place in the world.

Like a beautiful flower, floating in the loo.
:icongirl-lard:
i rang up today and said 'i need to enquire info on benefits, i've finished college and don't start uni til october and i haven't had a job before' and the lady told me i may be allowed to claim it, she took all my details down and fired questions at me, and said i could have it, but i have to go for an interview at the job centre first to sign on.
try ringing up the main freephone number and just explain that you've been looking for a job but no-one will give you one because of lack of experience. they'll probably put you on hold for 10 minutes and play ridiculous classical music down the phone, but when you get through they are rather helpful :)
you should get it if i can!

:iconsarrin:
Jobs. Oh, gods, I hate looking for jobs.

I just checked out the Youtube link. I think it was rather disturbed, but I loved the twins. What's that picture you have up from though?

--
“Yes, Violet,” she said to herself forcefully, “that’s where they keep the preserved hands.”
:iconpeggypirateface:
look how fucking hot we are down mansfield

Ich bin Frau Meg!!!!

:iconkinkybootz:
Hahaha, the twins looked deranged. I liked the monkey, and THE KISS. XD

Aaah that picture! It's from the David Glass Ensemble production, here is a link to it. It looked bloody amazing, they've got the characters spot on! I about died when I realised I'd missed it.

[link]

I need to ink and paint my GG fanart, I've made a comic strip. Should post it up soon! :D

:iconkinkybootz:
That's what they said to me when I rung up! I even had the classical music, was it that violin thing? I was all set for claiming some lovely money, but when I actually went for the interview they told me to rack off. :o

--
Like a beautiful flower, floating in the loo.
:icongirl-lard:
oh god...no doubt they'll do exactly the same to me then >.<
i don't understand why they'd say we're allowed the money when we ring them up, then take it all back again. O_O
yeaah it was that violin music! it really wound me up haha.
urg, i'm not looking forward to going to the job centre in august. i'll strangle someone if they tell me i'm not allowed the money.
