man o man,i must've stressed myself out more than i realized yesterday. i slept for a full 12 hours last night and didn't manage to drag myself out of bed until 9:30 this morning- a good 4 hours behind schedule. oops. but obviously i needed the zzzs. i had all sorts of strange and vivid dreams. even my very first apocalypse dream which really wasn't all that scary since no zombies ever showed up but i spent the entire dream worried that i wouldn't get to have sex one last time before the world ended. ha! priorities!
anyway, the interview couldn't have went better. before i knew it, an hour had passed and i was still there giggling with the VP who was such a wonderful, warm, wholesome woman. there were never any of those awkward lulls in the conversation and we seemed to establish an amazingly comfortable re pore right from the start. i'll definitely take The Storialist's advice and send a thank you note to her today. a real thank you note, snail mail style. :)
so now the waiting game begins. there's a second round next week but after having such a perfect first meeting i don't think i'll lose another day to feeling inadequate, reading and re-reading my favorite blogs 20 times over, checking and re-checking the fridge all day, attempting to find small avenues of distraction. i'm feeling hopeful and confident again. the experience was actually pleasant. dare i say fun. how cool is that!
thank you all so much for sending positive thoughts my way. i definitely needed the vote of confidence and a shot of faith. i appreciate your warm wishes so much! kind words go so far.
the blog-space is a strange space, for sure. when i first started this thing, i didn't take it very seriously at all and didn't enforce any type of regularity on it whatsoever. when i finished a painting, i'd post a picture of it but that'd be it. since deciding to try to make the blog live up to it's name, i've really started valuing having a place to write my thoughts and ambivilances, and i no longer feel like i'm just sending words out in to the dark. i know that we're all strangers but i'm glad we've bumped in to one another, no matter how mediated that bump may in fact be.

Yippee I'm really glad it went so well,I'm so not surprised Angela!!! The blog world is indeed strange but there is this sense of community that's pretty faboulous. I love getting out of my head for a little while everyday to blog and to connect with others, I am noticing what a big stress reliever that is along with chocolate of course :) I'm glad you share your thoughts and art girl!!!
That is awesome news--go you! Sounds like it went so well.
I totally agree with you about blogging...it's helped me become more disciplined and connected...exponentially!!
very glad we have bumped into each other as well.
Good luck.
And def. send a hand written thank you card- make it a cool card too.
I got a job where the woman saved the card 'cause it was so pretty.
Now that makes them remember you!
a beautiful card has been sent! thank you guys so much for all the wonderful (free!) advice and encouragement. my fingers are crossed! :)
