Finally applying for a new job. The application/interview process is soul-sucking as always, but 40 hours guaranteed with full benefits AND a raise will be so worth it. Also, I found out my wisdom teeth are coming in straight, which gives me the option of leaving them in rather than dropping a months' pay on removal surgery.
Long Live The Queen.

I have a job interview planned for Friday morning.  I really hope they pay better...

Just passed my 3 basic level stage combat modules today in broadsword, broadsword + sheild, and baton with a 2:2, 2:1 and Lower 1st respectivley (the grading goes from best to worst; Recommendation, 1st, Lower 1st, 2:1, 2:2, 3rd and Fail).  So rather inconsistant results (I was the only one to get 3 different grades, everyone else either had all 3 grades the same or 2 grades the same) but whatever - when I started I didn't think there was any way I could possibly memorise 3 different fights of 20 moves each in 4 days, plus I don't have much natural co-ordination or grace.  So anything above a fail is pleasing.

I still need to do the single sword and unarmed modules and at least one fight with a script (ie dialogue) before I can move on to intermediate, and I need 10 basic modules total before I can be awarded "Actor-Combatant Basic" but hey, that's 3 down.

Mine appear to be coming in straight... well... if they were coming in at all.  My upper wisdom teeth seem to just be hanging out in my maxilla.  Not like they have anything better to do or whatever.

I never needed my wisdom teeth removed.

I went to our city's fair today with friends and got to feed/pet awesome animals. The guys running the games there were true carnies and would try to harass you into playing. It was hilarious. Then we went to get on a ride, and when a couple kids ran in front of us, the guy running it told them to stop and get the fuck back in line. That guy gets serious kudos.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

Figured out how to use the drop spindle properly, and completed a small skein of yarn.

So far for summertime string-related projects:
- (finished) Fluttershy pony
- (finished) spider
- (finished) skein
- halfway done with smaller spider
- shawl 3/4 complete

Once those are done I can start my fall projects:
- finish afghan (tragically neglected since January)
- hat and scarf set
- make more homemade string
- Optimus Prime

Today I learned that Harvestmen (Daddy Longlegs) have a penis, something all other arachnids lack.

I don't know why this made me smile.

This was yesterday, actually, but I actually saw a hawk walking around next to our neighbor's garage.

At first I thought it was a cat (due to its camouflage) but it didn't look right... then I saw it move and saw its shape better.

It was definitely looking for something, but it eventually gave up and took off.

That's a fanfic, not a webfic. You fail, sir.
