    1: Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?
    Well one dosen’t even have a door :/ so it kind of dosen’t matter. But my theory is that if a monster can exist then I can have super powers to fight it…so bring on the monsters I say ;)

    2:Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from hotel?
    No…well I hardly ever go to hotels but given the chance I wouldn’t it kind of feels like theft, and I don’t need em anyway.

    3:Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out?
    Urgh no I hate the tuck, I like to curl up and wrap the sheets around me.

    Hey you told me this would be quick todo Deanna! >.< it’s taken me AGES :P

  • Almost Human

    Well I tried, I gave being a real functioning human being my best shot and they told me I needed a bit more practice :P lol

    Yea so for those who are interested I have not gotten my job, the project went well in the end (despite some annoyance and a re-start)…but it was still too much of a gamble for them to hire me at my current skill level…which is fair enough.

    But even though I didn’t get it, I did learn quite a few handy tricks for future work…and might still stand a chance in the future if I improve my skill level in certain areas…and come on what have I actually lost here?

    I could have had all the fun of a day job:

    But instead i’m still able to do this: (BTW by this I mean run around with sparklers…not propose lol :P )

    Haha :) okay well maybe not, I actually have to keep working at home with pretty much the same amount of effort and none of the money :| hmm ah well.

    So on that note…does anyone want a website by any chance? :) …I do need practice and currently I’m relatively happy to do it for a decent price since I feel like i’m still learning and thus shouldn’t ask for too much.

    Bit of a long shot maybe posting on my blog but if you don’t ask you don’t receive. ;)

    Also on the subject of websites since my test project has finished I’ve had time to get back to previous efforts such as this site which offers photographic prints and postcards of rather good photography.

    Like this:

    And this:

    http://armbee-art.co.uk

     

    Check it out and let me know if you like the layout and there are no glaring mistakes…sadly (though I have put a lot of work into this) the platform is just WordPress so none of the coding is mine, just the graphics and layout choices etc.

    Also if you really like it, I and the owner of the photos would very much appreciate the extra traffic generated by any shares you can give to your respective social networks.

    Please feel no obligation though…I hate using this site to generate ‘business’ type stuff, so basically if you really like it then help it out but if not then don’t worry :)

    Oh and finally I have so many new good ideas…well new ideas not sure of the goodness…for up coming posts, and thats another benefit of no job…more Xanga time :P

    But look forwards to Super Heroes, Stories, Gibberish and movies :)

    And even more finally Have a good Week end!

  • Sunshine Photos

    Well of course I can’t stay away from Xanga for too long…despite needing to focus on my potential job :/ ah well :P

    Over the past few days it’s been sunny!..gloriously sunny :D but also with a rather cold wind, that sneaks up on you and gives you a good chilling down if you don’t equip for it.

    But All this lovely weahter has got me out and about with my camera, so ehre are a few shots from the last week or so:

    :] Clouds I can’t resist em.

    A view form a Castle ruin.

    The Guardian of the Castle grounds…mainly the grass bits ;)

    The Ridge in all it’s dappled glory.

    Stunning natural beauty…oh no wait it’s me :P

    The clouds build.
