Teh Suckz Thread

[KitKat]

its a different situation each time. once after working outside and taking a shower, last week coming home from a festival, the next day at a different festival. yesterday was at a grocery store. that's whats been the bugaboo, we have been trying to figure out the common thread, but other then being only on my hands and wrists, its been different situations each time.

Do you live in a hot area? It could be a heat rash.

I really REALLY need to clean out my room... I can't walk through it without knocking something over.

It's getting ridiculous how much stuff I have piled everywhere.

I can't say enough about those cube organizers, either the shelving units with the fabric drawers or the big plastic bins. My dolls keep their stuff mostly in the drawers, neat and tidy while adding some color and giving them something to stand on. I keep sewing in the bigger bins in the closet.

ohio has been pretty cool the last couple weeks and I don't use hand sanitizer.

OK. I've made it through the darkest before the dawn stage (when EVERYTHING is out of place and it is all piled everywhere). I have a nice tidy bookcase full of dollieh knicknacks (big surprise that was the first space organized) and the floor is visible in most places. I believe I have exiled all the things-that-do-not-belong from the sewing/computer room. Another full morning of organizing, then off to the library to donate the books.
Still no time dollieh sewing/crafts but when this whole mess is done, then I can return to wallowing in dolliehs!

So I’m finishing my schooling at Job Corps on Thursday and will be getting my exit check on Thursday. That is good good news. The bad news is that I will be leaving without a job and it will almost impossible to get one. In my opinion job corps has severely gipped me. I was in the Clinical Medical Assistant trade, I never got my externship. Without that no one will really hire me. Heck even if I had it I wouldn’t be able to get one. They all want 6 months to a year experience. I’m even certified, in CMA, Phlebotomy Technician, EKG technician, and CPR. I’m so frustrated and am happy as all get-out to get the hell out of there. My new plan adding CNA training to my CMA one, there are tons of caregiver jobs out there. So I’m hoping that plan turns out for me.

Ok, the last straw that kicked off this pity party for me, was accidentally kicking the dog's food dish and breaking my toenail half way off. I sat on the ground cursing for like 20 minutes because it hurt like hell and was bleeding like crazy. I'm not pain tolerant enough to rip it the rest of the way off either, so it's going to stay like that till it grows out waaay more and it's freaking me out.

Whenever the last time I complained on here about being depressed was, I've continued to be depressed since then.

I don't actually have any pressing business obligations, but I have a landslide of projects that I'm sitting on that will keep me busy for months and that kind of adds to the frustration of not being able to be more productive, because I know a lot of that is due to my incompetence. Like the fact that I don't know how to use a sewing machine which would speed up clothes making. Getting better with an airbrush, learning photography and more about certain software problems would probably help me as well, but those seem like such a bore.

I was trying to learn how to do electrostatic flocking which would create far more realistic hair than regular flocking, but the unit I bought isn't working so well. I either need a stronger one, or I have to treat the fibers with a special neutralizing agent...or possibly buy pre-treated fibers. So unless I can get that figured out, that's $110 down the drain.

I really need more money to progress with my experimentation, but I hesitate to touch my savings because i already took quite a bought my first Iplehouse dolls. And I feel judged by my family whenever I dip into it too.

My goal in life has basically boiled down to leaving behind a significant body art of work and then die. But I'm failing miserably at building my portfolio. So many factors for that, the fact that I can't stick to one medium, I get easily distracted between projects, I work hard, but don't study hard enough.

My work as a whole is a nonsensical collage of fractured images. I suppose that echoes my life as well. One big ugly mess. I need to get some new real medium pieces done so I can have something tho show in that area on instead of all the old stuff.

People don't understand the work that goes into 3D meshing or blushing/faceup/sewing for bjds so unless I make them really outrageous they don't even count.

*hugs Dirili* That sounds painful. To keep the nail from snagging on anything you can stabilize it with surgical/medical tape.

[knittnkitten]

superglue sometimes works to hold a cracked nail together until it grows out.

Is sick. It's all in my nose too. I feel like I need a suction hose for all the mucus and then also tubes shoved in to keep my nasal passages open. x_x
