Crow's Nest (original) (raw)

Okay, this is SO cool!!!!

For those of you who don't know, I do a LOT of writing. It is my number one passion. I love writing fiction, but I do a lot of writing on the side for profit, such as SEO writing, essays, and reviews. Well, my husband and I recently put together our collaberative online concert review website, as he does photography for shows and we figured we could work my writing into it as well.

Our site is 1013 Music Reviews. 1013 is our anniversary date, just as a side note. I have written the majority of the reviews on the site and the other night, we went to go see the Swedish heavy metal band, Ghost. My husband is a HUGE Ghost fan, so this was great for him. We got lots of photos and did the review.

Well, today, Ghost's publicist got back to us and said she just loved the review! Totally made my day! She had a lot of nice things to say about it and I was just so happy because a professional involved with the actual band said they enjoyed it.

So yeah, my day just got a touch better. If you would like to see the review and/or the photos go HERE. Also, if you are on Facebook and want to help us out (as I know a lot of you already have - thank you!) please like 1013 Music Reviews and RKH Images. I'm the little promotional dork that runs around trying to garner an audience, so if you please...

Got a job!!!!

Yes, got one. It's serving at The Macaroni Grill. They have benefits (which I really need) and good pay. Plus, it's close to home and they have a lot of training. So keeping fingers crossed that I do well and this works out.

In celebration of such good news, I have decided to do a few wallpaper requests.

DETAILS:
The first five people that make requests, get them. After that, requests close, so please do not ask after that. They may open later, but for now, I can only do five requests. You may only make one request.

Tell me your favorite ship or character or fandom creation. It can be of any fandom or real life ship or fake one that you simply adore. It can also be slash or femslash, I have no issues there. That's all you need to do. Except if it is something like a book that doesn't have an official cast, which in that case, I'll need you to send me a specific cast.

After that, I'll put my media player on shuffle and use lyrics from the first song to pop up as the lyrics in the art.

Please note: I pick the images for the artwork. Please do not send me specific images of characters (for example) as I pick the images I can use to make the wallpaper look the right way.

TWO PEOPLE I WILL NOT ART: Jesse Eisenberg and Lars Ulrich. I have personal issues with both in real life. I don't want to get into it, but I can't art them. They bother me. Other than that, anything goes.

NOTE: If you make a request, please make sure to comment when I post your wall. I didn't think I would actually have to ASK that, but there are people who haven't commented in the past when I have made them requests. I tells me not only that you like your piece, but also lets me know you got it. Plus, it's just common courtesy to thank someone who has made something for you. Please comment on your last request before you ask for a new one. Thank you.

Hi everyone,
Right now, I am working on promoting a contest for my husband to win a chance to shoot photos of Soundgarden. The contest is through Talenthouse and the person with the most votes wins. So I am looking for votes.

Here's the deal.

I am willing to take ONE request in exchange for your vote. Here are your of choices of request examples:

- Screencap request: Anything (with the exclusion of full TV series because those are HUGE and take forever). Your request will be placed in the gallery and I can also zip it for you, if you ask me.

- Wallpaper request: I do wallpapers of nearly anything, but if I am unfamiliar with fandoms or if it is a custom ship, I'll need some info from you.

- Fanfiction request: I will do a requested fanfiction between 700 and 1500 words. I'm better at the short ones. You don't want a long one from me. For fandoms, please email me.
- Miscellaneous request: If you have another idea, please email me to ask first.

This is what I need from you
Go to the following site:
Talenthouse Photo Contest

You should see the photo, "Death to All But Metal" by Kyle Hansen.

Vote with either your Facebook or Twitter. To ensure you have voted, I need you to email me either a screenshot of the screen that follows your vote which says, "Successfully Voted" in the voting area. Either that, or send me a screenshot of you sharing it on your social network. They have that option as well. Without the screenshot, I have no proof you have voted and cannot process your request.

Finally, if you are interested in his photography, go to RKH Images or RKH Images Facebook.

I really appreciate your support!!!

Okay, first off, fun meme!!! I love memes. They're just fun and I like to get to know people I talk to online through them. So here you go. This one is from niki1988

( Meme under cut...Collapse )
For those wondering what the hell is going on with me, as I know some of you have, my job has kept me SUPER busy, as has my writing. I have been working for a month, but don't get my first paycheck until the 31st, due to the whole getting paid every two weeks and having to wait a while for the first one. That way, when people quit or leave or whatever, the company still owes them a check. It's kind of a fucking crazy job. It's all based around me dealing with those who do not want to pay their bills. Not those that CANNOT pay them, but do all they can to not have to pay them. It's ridiculous. I am all about personal responsibility and want to always make sure my bills are paid, as it is my responsibility. It makes me sick when there are people out there who literally think they should be able to just get loans or charge stuff and never pay the fee (I'm not even talking interest) back. Hate it. You're not children.

So when I come home and still have about five to six hours of the writing as my second job to do, sleeping is my next priority. Hence, the lack of communication, arts, caps, and more...

Hey everyone,

So as much as I don't want to put more bad news on here, I figure this could help everyone in the long run.

I recently obtained a position as an SEO writer online. I have done this in the past with other companies, but they are for temp contracts, so they only last so long. So I was super stoked to get this one for some income. I did a bunch of articles for them and kept in contact with them. Well, over the past two days, I didn't hear from them AT ALL. Finally, I looked around online, only to find a report similar to Snopes based upon the emails I had received.

It was a total scam. People are scum. It's like they did it for the sick pleasure of it because they didn't get any info like my real name, any numbers, or anything like that. But you're going to do this in today's economy? Really? Thanks a ton.

Being scammed makes you feel like a total ass because it makes you feel stupid. That's the thing about it that sucks more than the actual scam itself. I just hate it. So I have to tell you guys to just be careful who you trust online pretty much always, but when you are looking for work too.

Hi guys,

Thank you so much for your kind words and comments regarding my last post. Many may not think it's a lot because we're all online and don't see each other and such, but whenever anyone has a kind word to say, I really take it to heart. So thank you.

Hi everyone,

It helped a bit. angelus2hot, I unfortunately could not do your request because I couldn't find any high enough resolution images to work with. If you want to request something else, please feel free. :)

So I'm losing my unemployment next week. MN has this fucked up law where if the unemployment rate drops below 6%, then the people that were on their second tier of unemployment don't get anymore money. Which makes NO sense, but that's how it is. Anyhow, as of today I still don't have a job. Those of you out there trying to get work know what a bitch it is. I have done four interviews in the past two weeks to no avail. I have also tried to get jobs doing things like overnight stock and stuff like that at places like Target and such, but because of my degrees, they say I am "overqualified". I love how I was told to go to school my whole life to get a good job only to have it be the reason I cannot get one now.

SO, as of next week, there will be no income. I mean, I have NO idea what I am going to do. I am in the process of selling many things, including my Buffy, Angel, X-Files, and other action figures. I wanted to post the link to my Amazon storefront here in case there are any interested parties. I know there are lots of people who like that stuff on LJ, so where's a better place to post it? :)

This time again. There are ten spots available and I usually wait until all ten have been filled, but last time I waited a few weeks and only eight were taken. So I will eventually close it out if they don't all fill.
