Come on, job! Brianna needs a new pair of shoes!

Or money for rent. That would be nice.

Meeting Wes, the DM for Spirit Halloween stores, again today. I'm not exactly sure why we're meeting other than for him to give me some forms to fill out that he didn't have when we interviewed Monday. The interview seemed to go pretty well, so I'm hoping he'll offer me the job today. Otherwise I'm not really sure why I need to do more paperwork.

I really, super want this job, but I'm not sure I'm qualified for it. I thought I was applying for Assistant Manager, not Store Manager. SCARY. He asked me during the interview if I would be interested in Assistant if he gave the Store Manager position to someone else, and while I'd love to make more money, I think I'd be more comfortable not being top dog. I mean, I'm sure I could do it, but.. yeek.

Gotta get ready!

Me: Ah! There's a big nasty bug on your shoulder!
Sylvia: Oh. *flick*
Me: AGGGG! DON'T FLICK IT AT ME!!
Sylvia: What? It's just a bug.
Me: AGGGGGGGGGGG!

Went out to lunch with Sylvia this afternoon. I try to get together with her once a week,  to catch up  and girl talk and whatnot. We've both changed a lot since high school, but she's still so very Sylvia. It's great.

I always feel so blessed to have her as a friend. I love that girl to no end.

I'm sorry for the alarming last post. I'm embarassed; I hope that didn't come off as overly dramatic.

I was placed in a state mental health facility for four days, and it's done me a lot of good. During that time I was able to completely detox from the serotonin syndrome, and start a new medication regimen that may just work, or at the very least isn't driving me nuts like the last two I tried. I'm hopeful that we've found a solution to at least the medical side of my nearly lifelong mental problems.

Life in an asylum isn't fun. It's confusing and frightening. I did not go there lightly, and I don't make light of my situation. I sincerely hope no one sees this shit as a grasp for attention, because I really don't want it. I appreciate support when it is given, but I'm not asking for it.

I'm going to take a couple days off still from the internet and social life. I'm better than I was, well enough to leave the institution, but I'm still having a hard time. Looks like I have another slew of apologies to hand out.

Oh, but I'm fucking going to Otakon. Bet your hot crossed buns I am.

(Um.. unless I'm really unwell. WHICH HAD BETTER NOT BE THE CASE.)

So much to do.. so much to doooo! I can't get it all done today! AGGGHGHH!!

AGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!

In more important news, happy belated birthday, Aurianna! And happy belated birthday to everyone else, too (I'm so bad at
remembering dates.)

I've decided to completely overhaul this journal. I've backed up all the old entries and will be deleting the crappy drama shit gradually until this becomes what I initially meant it to be. Updates on my voice acting stuff, projects I'm working on, ideas for new projects, video game and anime chat, stupid memes.. all the fun things. The other shit that I'm pretty sure most of my friends list scrolls past (not blaming you) will be relegated to my archives and a different journal.

I want this to be a journal that I can share with other people who enjoy the same things I do, not a place where I muck around in all that morose bullshit. I want to do friending memes, meet new people, and not be like "OH SHIT! But if I add them as a friend, then they can read all my DARK SECRETS!!" Fuck that noise. And I don't see much point in privacy locking everything if I can just archive it.

In another sense, it's sort of like turning over a new leaf. Washing away all the sad, miserable things I've felt and said and making room for more fun. I'm a little uncertain about the idea, but I feel like it may be a good one.

This entry will be deleted in a couple of days with the rest. For those of you who really want to read all the depressing things, I will put a link to my alternate journal in my profile, or comment here and I will add you to my friends list there.

TIMED ICON MEME
(1) Choose an episode of anime or television series you have on your computer. Make sure you're certain you want that one, you cannot change or mind once you skips this step. DO NOT TELL YOUR FLIST WHAT YOU CHOSE.
(2) Make note of how long the episode is here -> 24:00
(3) Ask your flist to choose a time between 00:00 and whatever the length of your episode is. Be specific, (ie: 19:11, 21:09, 02:42)
(4) Make them an icon using THAT FRAME ONLY no matter what it is. And remember, you can only use that ONE episode you chose previous, even if the person posting isn't familiar with it.

Stolen from Chinomi. THIS MEME IS AWESOME! DO IT!

EDIT: So when it says "THAT FRAME ONLY," I'm going to assume that means I can't use a different, cooler frame, not that I can't embellish what's in that frame. :\

Last night I didn't sleep. Instead, I played P4 for twelve fucking hours.

Twelve.

Fucking.

Hours.

I was kind of worried that I might hate the game, but as it turns out once you get past the four hours of exposition and into actual gameplay, it gets really awesome. And, uh.. more than a little homoerotic.

I'm feeling: fabulous

My microphone died the Sunday before last. For a while now it's been doing this thing where it cracks and pops before it (as far as I can figure,) warms up, then if I've been using it for an extended period it starts to fuzz out randomly. The time period where I can get a clean recording from it has gradually decreased, up until now where it goes from crackling to straight static. It's only a little over a year old, and I've treated it gently (as gently as a VA can, really,) but it's become all but unusable. I was lucky to be able to record auditions last night, but even those had a few cracks in them and I wouldn't have sent them had it not been right on the deadline.

Today I attempted to record again, with horrible results. Damn it.

Luckily, I have a replacement plan from Guitar Center. Unluckily, the way it works is that I have to wait for them to send me a store credit check in the mail so I can buy a new microphone. I made the claim last Monday, so the check should be here by the end of the week.

Now I've got all of these awesome projects to record for, and no way to record. DAMN IT! All I can do is moon over my scripts and mix. Meanwhile, my monitor also died, so I'm borrowing Bryan's. Best Buy's replacement plan sucks even more than Guitar Center's, and I'm stuck waiting for them to try and fix the damned thing.

DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT!

Question is, since I have $300 coming in the mail from Guitar Center, do I want to buy the same mic, or a different one? I'm really happy with the way mine sounded (before it went wiggy on me,) but who knows what they have in that price range these days. I may have to check a few out. It will be fun! (Keep telling yourself that.)

On a related note, I tried borrowing Bryan's new microphone, and I can't believe he bought that thing. I told him to wait for me to come with him so I could help him pick out something nice (I also told him that a dynamic mic would probably suit his needs just fine, and be cheaper.) He ended up getting a condenser mic that makes everything sound like it's coming from inside a tin can. It may still work all right for his music, though. I need to see if I can get that pre-amp working on his computer so he can try it out himself. Then I need to see if I can get his synthesizer to work through it, me and all of my technical mastery. *cough* Hopefully I can set everything up for him and he can start composing!
