... Yay?

That actually went rather well. Phew. I'll know if I get a real face-to-face interview in a couple of days. Here's hoping... Fingers and toes crossed and all that... and I rather much do want this job now, because the person doing the interviewing was really nice and the company, despite the fact that it's like, home decor catalogs, sounds rather fun. (Perhaps it's the appeal of working around people who have to live off of being at least somewhat creative.) Of course, if I get the job I have to move to the north side, because it's in Skokie. And that's a more-than-two-hour commute from here... which I can survive for a few months, but don't want to continue for more than that. And... and... publishing experience! It'd actually be a useful job.

And, so unrelated it's not even a tangent, but I checked my e-mail a second ago and there it was... I must go to the Hideout Block Party in September, and people should come with me because it's good music (mostly because of Saturday, and not just because of Andrew Bird). And in case I haven't mentioned the free Decemberists concert in Millennium Park with the Grant Park Orchestra on the 18th, that's also going to be awesome (and free)... yeah. Omg. I actually would've held it against my friend who's getting married if I'd had to be back home during that. And I honestly just nervously checked when it started in case, on the off-chance I was employed, it was at a time I couldn't make it. Because it's the Decemberists for free with the orchestra. That is important.

Yaaaay! Your point in the thread with Lisa was good, though. She's gonna be nineteen, so we need to take that into consideration and I have this feeling that she'll flay me standing if I try to ditch her.

Okay, glad I didn't offend you. And it's my project for the moment, just by the default of senior project. But this was originally joint, remember? Unless you'd rather I take most of the responsibility. I just really appreciate the other brain.

I am saying this to you, and not Lisa, but there are two words that would fix that... (-; (However, most clubs are really, really good at spotting them, and it's totally not worth the risk. It just makes me feel cool to suggest it.)

Of course. I imagine this'll be a lot easier to work out when we're living together, though, since we'll get a feel for how we're working. And my brain is always available. Well... most of the time. Sometimes. It makes an effort to be available.

Oh, yes. I know all about those two words. Honestly, I'd say don't risk it. In a big city, it's kind of risky and depending on who catches you, various degrees of doom impend. ...Not that I'm not highly tempted. It's so weird not to need one myself. I still get nervous when I go to bars and they ID me. This guy at one I went to last weekend didn't believe my driver's license was me. *eyeroll*

Oh, definitely. And it'll be easier just to talk and sketch stuff out. I can just draw things to help you visualize. It's much easier to work stuff out that way, and you can see if a panel really will work etc.

Yeah, there are definitely some pretty good fines for that. I mean, a friend of mine got bounced out of a concert for a sip of beer. They're pretty serious here. Well, in the fun places. Things like liquor stores are easy to get a fake ID past. There was one up on 53rd that got shut down this year, and apparently a bunch of people wrote "That's what you get for selling to minors" and the like all over the postings on the doors. (-:

I am looking forward to this.

Cripes! Well, Lisa isn't a drinker, so at least there isn't that to worry over. Meh, we'll find fun stuff. I'm not worried.

Me too! And omg Chief yay! <3

Yeah... the only problem I've ever had with not being over 21 is concerts, not being a drinker at all myself... and I've only run into a few that are that silly (most are 18+). And there's no shortage of other fun.

^_^

Yeah, same. It always irritated me when apparently you had to drink to go to concerts. Wtf. And yes, lots of other stuff. I'm quite excited about living in a big city!
