Also speaking of words that cause word confusion, I never knew how the hell to say dachshund until I heard Kevin Smith talking about his (apparently it's 'dock-shun" and not 'dash-hund'). It's one of those words I've seen and thought I knew how to say, but it doesn't come up very often and I guess all the people I knew just said "wiener dog" instead because it's funnier.
I've always said, "dock-sind."

There was something important here. It's gone now.

I am really down in the dumps lately. Feel like upping stakes and moving interstate and saying goodbye to everyone and starting fresh. I have inherited this horrible tendency from my father to never discuss anything that I'm feeling, and I wind up acting out and feeling like I need to escape my own life.

Urgh.
Even as big as the world is, just remember that you're going to run out of places to run away to.
Tomorrow would be the Orientation of my Animation Course. From my experience and for your knowledge, Orientation is usually where they make you play stupid games to make you "socialize" with the other people attending the same school/course.
I am sadly and fully expecting to meet people who think that they don't need to draw from life when they can and only draw Manga, that their art has nothing to be improved on, that I am being an arrogant snob to suggest otherwise and so on.

1. socialize. It helps.
2. You will meet at least one person like that there.

Seems like a kinda crappy attitude to have. I have met lovely people at my school!
my animation class was about 50/50. retards/nice, inteligent people.
we had one girl wo insisted on putting her anime faces on all the life models because that was her style. one girl who couldn't even look at the models and whos drawings had massive enoty spots where gentals were meant to be. one girl who drew a skinny version of herself in everythign she did along with her imaginary boyfriend. and another girl who was the biggest social retard you'd ever met. and couldn't tell when you were making the "fuck off" face. None of them had anythign they needed to fix in their style. /rage
(most of the guys were ok)
...i didn't get along with a lot of people in my year...
I will, of course, socialize by talking to them not through stupid time-wasting games where we don't truly talk to each other.
You should definately do that so that everyone knows which people aren't team players.
At this point in a relationship actually talking to someone means saying, "You drive a blue pickup? What kind? Oh that's cool." because anything more is called TMI

Indeed! I suppose games such as "Whacko!" does indeed indicate which people are team players or not. Then again, I must confess that I do not know what games the Orientation would have or whether they would have games at all or games that actually require teamwork, last Orientations I had either had us playing "Whacko!" or sent home early.
Anything more than that conversation is TMI? I suppose asking and discussing about their aspirations and goals in the Animation Course among other similar ghastly things I could talk about is indeed TMI.
My last day of work is Wednesday and hopefully I will never have to work an IT job ever again. I also hope I never have to work for a financial company where people talk about amounts of money that are trading hands in a day that are more than I will probably ever see over a lifetime.

First off, lets just assume that you're going to be playing these "meet and greet" games at all, otherwise this entire conversation is moot and we're just playing off your social anxiety disorder.
During one of those games, you're doing a disservice to yourself and everybody else if you don't get yourself out there and introduce yourself to as many people as possible. You can save your hopes and aspirations for the first break. This isn't what that's for, it's to associate a name with a face as well as something that makes it easier to remember, like a blue pickup truck.

When I get out of school, I think I need to practice talking with freelancers. I did some simple work for a little start-up company and I feel like looking at the other works in the poll, is interestingly chibi/deformed proportions, which was implied that's what they were getting away from. I'm not sure if I'm bad at reading minds, reading instructions, or both.
I've outside of that, I've been reading a lot of jobs where the work is like "what we want is up in the air, just do a bunch of stuff and we'll look at it and maybe we'll pick something" and its terrible. I don't think I want to freelance for a living.
Personally, I hate freelance and don't do it anymore. Too many clients that have no idea what they are looking for or expect to get a bunch of stuff for next to nothing. Too many headaches, not worth it.

Welcome to every art job ever. The only difference between what you're talking about and a staff position is that you get paid for doing all the crap necessary to figure out what the client/boss wants. (Also you should be getting paid for that even if you are freelancing, "freelancing" isn't synonymous with "getting free art screwed out of you").
Also I got a haircut, and when I get a haircut, you know what that means: job interview tomorrow. Wish me luck, duders.
"The video was released days before the singer's next album, "New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh," hits record stores. The single "Window Seat" is at No. 28 on Billboard's R&B/hip-hop chart. "
I suspect she wasn't doing this for any purpose more artistic than "Quick I need something controversial to get my new album mentioned in the media".
Instead of wishing good luck, what if I wished bad luck upon all of the other applicants?

Good luck Bacon.
Yeah I don't get this "Spend your afternoon doing free shit for us to see if you come up with something we like"
You should be, "Well I bill at $X per hour, it takes me about an hour or so for each rough concept, so if I give you 3 concepts it would be aroung Y dollars. Alternatively you can come up with the concept yourself and I can come back tomorrow."
If they want free shit, ask them to come over and do some household chores while you're surrendering your free time for nothing. In business you should never lift a finger unless there's money involved. Hell i'd even consider charging them for a face to face consultation.

Yeah, I mean, my problem really isn't the act of drawing tons to figure out what some one wants, I just want to do that on paid time. I've seen alot of freelance jobs these days where the set rate is like, 100 bucks for "sketch untill we know what we want, and then produce something that's finished when we pick" and the math just isn't right.
Good luck on the job interview, duder.
Metal: are you mad at the public nudity, or the label of performance art?
Edit: And to be clear, the company I linked did right by me, they paid for all the concepts. Though, I could have done multiple styles in one sheet if they had asked for it, rather than doing one and having that being the only thing compared to the other artists.

I say "jay-peg"
I've always said, "dock-sind."
Yeah, but I'm in Australia, which means no L4D2 for me, and I get atrocious latency playing with anyone overseas.
What's your steam ID anyways?
my birthday is novermber 27, gasp
Kevin Smith is wrong.
docks-hund for the Germans, docks-und for the Americans.
I can say with the highest authority that jay-peg is correct
solely because this is how I say it

I would like to play D&D - I have very nostalgic associations with it. The last time I played was maybe 17 years ago.
