nightwolf Posted June 1, 2011 Author Posted June 1, 2011 Yesterday, two more people thought I was in secondary school Also, a lady said I was pretty. I distinctly remember her thinking I was a boy when I was about 13, though. Apparently I look completely unrecognisable with different hairstyles. I should be an international spy. Haha, that's only a good thing, my mum didn't recognise me when I first got my haircut short. My own mother...crazy stuff! First shift went really well, everyone seemed impressed and my team seemed to like me and now want to give me a nickname..oh dear! :p
Magnus Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Maybe you'll get lucky and they'll decide to call you Nightwolf.
nightwolf Posted June 1, 2011 Author Posted June 1, 2011 At least you didn't get Hairy Fairy. Maybe you'll get lucky and they'll decide to call you Nightwolf. Unfortunately there's already one wolf person on the team - besides Wolfy is better.
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 I'm watching Ine play Donkey Kong Country on the Virtual Console (Snes version). I wish I had taped her playing, she is getting so pissed off. "FUCKING DIDDDY!" "I know..." "WHY DOES HE JUST WALK OFF THE PLATFORM WHEN DONKEY FALLS OFF?" "Monkey see Monkey do, babe" "..."
Magnus Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 I feel her pain. Donkey Kong Country is not a good an easy game.
Goafer Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 That would have been perfect if you hadn't said babe. So close...
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 I feel her pain. Donkey Kong Country is not a good an easy game. I'll be honest, it pissed me off, too. Facking hard game. I wasted 50 odd lives on Snow Barrel Blast before. I almost ate the classic controller with apple sauce. Was so pissed off. That would have been perfect if you hadn't said babe. So close... Not even for dramatic effect.
Goafer Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Not even for dramatic effect. That's not too bad then. 9.5/10. Still not perfect, but close enough.
Raining_again Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 I'm uber happy Went bowling and came second... how awesome. I'm usually crap and losing by miles. My balance is miles better with my fitness, so it seems to be a lot better. Yaaay. But i was SOOOO awful at the pool... ahmygawd. I couldn't even get one of my balls pocketed But I can do a lot better with drink in me (i was driving tonight) which is weird..
Goafer Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 First paid wedding get! The bride has agreed on the price I asked for. That technically makes me a professional photographer, albeit a severely reduced rate one (I didn't charge much, although it's enough to me. More than a days wage at least). Some wedding photographers I know charge £250 just for showing up with a camera. And that's not a bad price compared to some. Print and disc packages can run into the thousands, depending on what is offered. Mental. I have a good feeling about this career path.

One of my (real life) friends (lol) said that was basically how he got into the business, and how he fills his time if he hasn't anything else fitted in. There will always be weddings and people with more money than sense lol :p

There will always be weddings and people with more money than sense lol :p That technically makes me a multi-professional photographer :p Anyway weddings are a tricky one as it fluctuates so much and area/competition is such a big thing. Last I heard weddings are still down due to the crash, although that was about a year ago. Although speaking of I found out last week one of the couples I did (oh yeah!) are expecting their first child.
Ashley Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 You know what they say: if you liked it then you shudda put a baby in it.
Goafer Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 The RedBubble group I made has been linked in the Urbex article on RB: Link Thanks to Happenstance for pointing it out to me.
The Peeps Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Found a job that's perfect for me at the moment, just need to post my application form. There's no "apprehensive stuff thread" so I'm being optimistic and putting it here!
Ashley Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 My composer sent me a small sample of the work she's doing for my animation over. I had a slight worry that it wouldn't be what I wanted but it was awesome Also decided that after I finish uni I'm going to get a decent massage. I think post uni and E3 I'll deserve it
Raining_again Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 went out for dinner, came home to find the kitteh having a snooze on my bed. He knows who is mammy is heh
nekunando Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 I had a pretty good day today With the weather being so nice, I went to play golf with my friends and actually hit a few decent shots After that we just went and had a wee walk near the sea before getting some tubs of ice cream. As we sat there looking out at the sea, legs dangling over the side of a wall, I felt a real sense of peace For the first time in so long, I felt relaxed. No demons. No thoughts niggling away at the back of my mind.. just calm..
Charlie Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Weddings are a big business. One of my (real life) friends (lol) said that was basically how he got into the business, and how he fills his time if he hasn't anything else fitted in. There will always be weddings and people with more money than sense lol :p Yeah Weddings are BIG business. We charge £500+ for DJing a wedding. We do give an incredibly good, professional service though. We provide the microphone for speeches as well as music.
drahkon Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 I felt a real sense of peace For the first time in so long, I felt relaxed. No demons. No thoughts niggling away at the back of my mind.. just calm.. In all seriousness: DO WANT! Really Haven't had that kind of experience in years... I played Basketball yesterday. 'Twas good.
Goafer Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Yeah Weddings are BIG business. We charge £500+ for DJing a wedding. We do give an incredibly good, professional service though. We provide the microphone for speeches as well as music. Tell me about it. People seem to lose all sense of value when weddings are involved. I can see why though, it's a very special day and people seem to get the impression that paying more equals a better product. I'd like to think that I'm not the sort of person to take advantage of such a situation, but as I get older I'm beginning to realise that keeping my ideals is going to bag me a nice cosy place in the poor house. The best I can do is make sure that the product I deliver is the best I can do. One thing my Dad taught me: You don't get rich working for someone else.
nightwolf Posted June 3, 2011 Author Posted June 3, 2011 Never really understood the whole ''special day thing.'' it's completely lost on me. My team at work are kicking the other night shifts ass at response times, I can now rip into my mate who is on said other team. Bwuahaha.
