I just had my four year work anniversary, which means I get 5 more days of leave and my 401(K) is 100% vested.  Yay!<br /><br />Although, I have yet to post anything new here.  Just been posting fotos on Flickr.  <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.flickr.com/photos/knownickname/">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

I'm going to be applying to graduate  school.  Haven't decided on  where...perhaps somewhere locally or in  Washington D.C.  I haven't created  anything of interest unless you count  the poem I created for my sister, <a href="http://aud.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/u/aud.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="aud" /></a>. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ well... for the past couple of days,  I've been driving to work.  It was an  interesting job...which I didn't move  at all expect for my fingers on a nasty  keyboard.  It was just dirta and filthy  from the previous user.  No one really  talked to me either except for the  other temp.  Not even my supervisor  talked to me.  I finished my work as  best as I could and had to wait for  another task.  No internet either.  I  ate lunch all by myself too.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />  <br />
<br />
Other than that, I just came back for a  Bond concert.  Their first American  tour...hehe...I didn't get a chance to  see them when they were in Korea.   Twice....and a third tour there very  soon.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />  Oh well.  I got a poster,  their first, and "third" c.d.s signed.   Audrey got a t-shirt signed.  We were  about 10 feet away from them during the  concert.  I had to drive 2 hours from  work to get to the place.  They had a  guy open for them by the name of Joshua  Payne.  I've never heard of him.<br />
<br />
The commute to work is killer.  I  called the temp agency to ask for a  different assignment so that I wouldn't  be getting up at 5 a.m. and try to get  there by 8.  It's not a fun drive.  Did  I mention that I was really bored at  the job as well.  I just sat there,  punching keys into a database.  They  could have at least as me to use the  copy machine to get away from the desk.   I was sitting under two air vents.  I  was freezing.  Very bad.  My temp agent  said that I don't have to show up  tomorrow.  I just have to get my  paperwork filled out and get paid for  that job assignment.  I would have  liked to worked in the warehouse, there  I would have moved around. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Deviant Art and I in some strange way  share the same birthday.<br />
<br />
My pre-birthday celebration went like  this:  I had to pick up a friend but he  wasn't ready.  We were running late.  I  had set a 4 o'clock departure.  Traffic  was horrible.  The other car was too  slow in following me.  I had tickets  for a 6 o'clock seating for 7 at  Medieval Times.  We were crowned as we  went inside.  My friends wanted to  embrass meIt was a neat experience.   Beer beer  beer  beer  beer  beer  beer   beer....BEER!  Okey, I was the only  one drinking.  Just one beer though.   We were cheering for the Blue Knight.   However, he was defeated in the end.   After coming back (traffic was bad as  well), we went to IHOP.  Across from us  was a group of clowns.  Very strange.<br />
<br />
Actual birthday celebration consisted  of lunch, movie (Bourne Supremacy), and  dinner at a Korean Resturnant.  It was  good.  Still stuffed.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Wondering what's with the title of my  journal entry? <br />
<br />
My birthday is around the corner.    It's too bad nobody celebrates this  number.  I don't tend to celebrate my  birthday cause there's no one around  during my birthday.  It blows having a  birthday in August because it's at the  end of the summer and right before the  start of the school year.  I can  remember when I was little and the  teacher would mark on the calender  who's birthday is during the year...my  tended not to be posted.  They would  celebrate the summer birthdays (June  and July) and they forget August.   While other kids had those large  parties...mine consisted of vacation  bible school kids (enough said).  I  remember one time I had to register for  school on my birthday and none of my  friends were there.   I've grown  accustomed to not celebrating it.  I  think my folks want me to be happy on  that day...but who can?  They made the  effort of buying me 2 birthday cakes: I  don't eat cake.  This year is going to  be somewhat different.  I'm going out  to a cheesy dinner and show.  Can you  guess where I'm going?  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" />  After this  birthday, I'm just taking the day off  and do something that I want to  do...sleep and hide from my friends.  <br />
<br />
The job hunt is going well actually.  However, not well enough for the folks.   Oh well.  I'll update when I get the  chance. ]]></description>

<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ If I place my head here, would I get a  clean cut?  I've been wondering how  executioners decided the best angle for  decapitation.  Hearing stories of how  decapitated victims bodies  twitch...basically the ole' headless  chicken effect.  <br />
<br />
Why am I mentioning this?  Basically,  I'm stuck at a mental block.  Perhaps,  if I attack it like an executioner  rather than the victim, I could get  over this block. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well...I'm not having any luck in  finding a job.  A few people have  mention to me that I should do some  commissioned art.  At first I was like  "Who would want to buy my art?" and "Is  my art worthy to be bought?"  But after  being encouraged and bugged to no end,  I'll consider it.<br />
<br />
Drawings:<br />
Sketch: $10 (a little more if you want  something complex)<br />
Standard B&W drawing: 8X11/A4-$10 (a  little more if you want something  complex i.e. background, details, and  such)<br />
Anything Larger than 8X11 or A4 size,  has to be discussed.<br />
<br />
*If you really want a colored  drawing...I might.  But there are no  guarantees that it'll turn out well.   But if you insist and want to pay a  little extra, I'm just warning you.<br />
<br />
If you have any questions, just ask or  e-mail me at mawhitham@hotmail.com. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ When it comes to Reagan, I'm not moved  by the hype that they placed upon him.   Sure he ended the Cold War...but there  are a few things that he did poorly for  this country.  All I have to say about  the man is that he had a great movie  career and had the right writers for  his speeches.  I wonder if in the  future when Bush has passed on, that  they'll sugar coat his life.  <br />
<br />
I'm just pissed off at the media at the  moment.  All they play here is a  tribute to Reagan and admirers  suffering from the heat just to see his  body at the Capital building.  There is  no way in hell Im going to stay out in  the heat and humidity of D.C.  Were up  in the 90s with 50% humidity.  Traffic  in DC is horrid and riding the Metro  sucks.<br />
<br />
Did we forget about the people we left  fighting in Iraqi and Afghanistan?   Stupid U.S. Media! ]]></description>

They don't consider my  tutoring on the side as a part time.   Oh well. I guess I'll have to find  a...egads...a retail job.  There is no  way in hell I'm going to be serving  food.  Heard horror stories and then  some.   Plus, after working in a hotel  and seeing what goes on in the behind  the resturant scene for 2+ years, I  just don't want to do with the  kitchen/resturant politics.  Once they  were short on staff and my boss made me  go and help them out.  NOT IN MY JOB  DESCRIPTION.  It was the worst day of  my short lived career as a server.  I  might as well work at the movie theater  cause I'm there every week.  Or just  sit around the house like I'm doing and  be an educated bum until I get picked  up for a job. ]]></description>

<br />
Well, let me think.  I got published in <u> Apathy</u>.  It's the undergraduate lit mag  at my school. Click on the current  issue.  <a href="http://mason.gmu.edu/~apathy/">[link]</a>   Note that there is a  huge typo on the site: "Whitman" is  suppose to be "Whitham".   <br />
<br />
I uploaded a new poem.  I have to go  back to school and collect my art  portfolio from my drawing teacher.   Such a pain in the butt to drive to  school.  Oh well...I got to do it  before he adds them to his collection  of disgarded works.  I think I'm going  to start working on my writing series.   I haven't had any chance to do so.  And  now that I have time, I get to bore  everyone with my sappy writing.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I don't know why I draw myself strange  looking.  Perhaps deep within myself, I  just don't like the way I look.  But  the thing is that I'm fine with the way  I look.  Not driven by ego or anything  else, I don't try to hide my face under  makeup or try to enhance it.  Back to  my self-portrait, I tend to draw my  nose longer than it is and make my face  very round.  The nose thing I get  because I tend to draw people with  longer noses.  I just don't know why I  do.  The roundness of my face is  probably a sign that I need to go out  and exercise more.  Gee...the things my  mind tells me through drawing.  lol. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ErrI cant figure out what I want to  write for my forms of poetry course: a  dramatic monologue, an ode, or en  ekphrasis.  BoringI still need to do  my art projects for school.  One word  for me: procrastinator.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well...I finally got some things  posted: four photos and a poem.  yay!<br />
<br />
I finished reading a book for one of my  classes this morning and had to show my  reading journal.  I'm kind of put back  that I have to do a book report of  sorts in college.  The book is  "Breakfast at the Victory: The  Mysticism of Ordinary Experience"  by  James P. Carse.  This is one book that  I enjoyed reading.  I would recommend  it.<br />
<br />
I'm behind in my Drawing 2 course.  I'm  kind of put off by the fact that I have  to do a series of self portraits: some  of them have to be nude.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />  One of my  assignments is to take a role, and  another is to make a college...now  we're doing color.  Pastels...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lick.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" />  I  despise them. Oh well...I got to do it  because my other drawing course wants  me to use them as well. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Talk about a strange twisted story by a  Gilded Age writer, but I have to admit  I enjoyed reading it again.  The first  time, I was like whoa this woman's out  of her mind.  I didn't take in what my  teacher was trying say the first time.   It went straight over my head.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  This  time, I think I got most of it down.  <br />
<br />
Well...I want to say that I've been  really busy with school and I want to  apologize for not commenting on all the  latest updates from you all. ]]></description>

What do  they (my professors) think I'm going to  do on it?  Work on projects and study  for my midterms?

                <description><![CDATA[ One of my professor's was going around  the room and looking at our drawings.   He was showing us how to use the  blending stump properly.  When he came  up to my area, he took my blending  stump, did a double take look at it.   He said, "Have you been chewing on it?"  <br />
<br />
I said nope.  After that comment, he  went around the room with it and said  that this isn't the way to use it.   Making an example out of it, he came  back to me and waved it in front of my  face.  He asked me who made me abuse  the stump.  <br />
<br />
I had to admit it was my other  professor.  He said, "Ah ha!  I knew  it!"  My professor took the blending  stump into his hands and broke it in  half.  My jaw dropped.  He went to the  trash can and came back with one of  his.  <br />
<br />
"Well, here's mine since I broke yours.   And you better not abuse it, too."  He  laughed and went on to another person's  drawing.<br />
<br />
Moral of the story: I got a $250  blending stump. ]]></description>

<br />
Today, I had to go and buy my cap and  gown and my announcements.  I don't  know why people around me are saying  that this should be my easiest semester  since I'm graduating.  Little do they  know.  I'll be glad to say good-bye  undergrad...hello  year-long-break-before-grad-school. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Bogged down with schoolwork.  No time  to do anything but regurgitate Gilded  Age stories by Twain, Howells, James,  Alger, and so on.  At times my mind  just draws up a blank.  I find myself  just struck with too many balls of  ideas and readings.  When it comes to  content for drawing class, my head just  aches.  Content in the form of a  drawing of a hand depicted in a  surrealistic world or idea.  Perhaps if  I had silly string everywhere I go, I  wouldnt be so drone like.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
*Since I haven't posted anything really  new except for some poetry, I'm posting  some of my older works that only a few  have actually seen.<br />
<br />
** Well...I've got around to posting  some of my school work...which I don't  think I should be posting.  But a  certain few of you keep on bugging me  to see my progress at school.  And for  the others out there, just ignore my  sad progression. ]]></description>

I have to  discuss it with my career counsel at  school...meaning I have to make an  effort of actually showing up again.   Why can't jobs just drop out of the sky  and say "hi there, I'm your new job"?   But that's life for you...you got to go  and get the job...bowing down or kiss  butt to get some measly crap job so  that you have a foot in the door of  opportunity. ]]></description>

But, she didn't believe me until an  hour past.  Freezing at my place while  watching "Sleepy Hallow" and "Edward  Scissorhands"... she's never seen them  before.  I think she was inspired to  see Tim Burton's films after watching " Big Fish" with us on Friday.  She really  enjoyed them. ]]></description>

Taking a year  off between so that I won't be sick of  school.  Don't know what I want to get  my masters in: MFA or MCS.  One would  be fun but I wouldn't get a good job  with it.  The other is boring and tough  but I would have a job.  Ahh... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well...I was tired of look at the half  clean/half dusty room of mine.  While I  was at it, I decided to move around my  speakers to their orignal  positions...however, when looking for  my manual, I nearly disorganized my  room again.  No luck in finding that  manual...it's probably in a box in the  basement.  But, I did put up the wall  speakers and retuned the system.  I  think I need to either replace my wires  or splice them to make them longer.  Or  just get a smaller room.  Or just leave  as is until I move out.  My room is  98.5 % clean...just need to vacuum.   Joy. ]]></description>
