    Thank you. I practiced answering random questions this morning, and i think i have that down. I have to ask though, is it rude to ask what i would be making an hour? The reason being is because I am living on my own, and have been having help taking care of bills and such (i own the house, got a roommate, all they had to do was pay the electric bill) roommate is moving. And i have to know if i can make enough money to pay my bills alone.
    Tell me your secrets, sailor.. and I'll whisper mine in return.

    Back in the day it was considered rude, but now i guess it really depends because usually the potential employer already discloses all that information already so you wouldn't need to ask. from what i've seen in toronto all employers always disclose pay on the job advert. it's a legitimate concern though given your situation so i wouldn't be afraid to ask.

    It's not rude to ask how much you'll be paid! They'll no doubt tell you!

    sometimes they'll also tell you in person before they start the interview too.

    Gotcha. That really stinks, Pearl. Maybe spruce it up with some paint? It really might help.

    If you heat set it, Acrylic will work and provide some REALLY nice texture if you do it scale by scale. You have to paint it while it's on, though, because Acrylic don' stretch fer nuthin. T-shirt paint is also fabulous, and will probably work BETTER and allow for some stretch.
    I just like acrylic because I always have it on hand. My mom is an artist and uses acrylic as a medium, and she never minds me using it. So it's what I use.

    Paint really might help, even if you use it in spots and patches.


    Good luck!!! *fingers crossed*

    Old tail is beyond saving- It's almost completely see-through and just doesn't fit. It's so baggy it hangs off me in folds. The only reason it stays on is I sewed in an elastic waist when I first got it.

    HOWEVER, I found that the store that I got the fabric for my walking tail has more of the same (still from the remenants bin! Huzzah!) so I'll be able to sew it up and at least START sequinsing it. If the crafting gods are kind I should have it wearable in time for the gig.

    The guy that I really like keeps sending me mixed signals even though we both agreed (and I lied to him about it which makes me a really shitty person) that we're mutually not interested. Like he keeps inviting me to parties and out downtown as well as being stupidly nice and offering to buy me drinks when we're out. Also, we have a class together (And I'm fucking pathetic because I 90% only took it because of him) and he always goes to sit next to me and always gives me really fucking solid and long hugs.

    I'm driving myself crazy because I know that I need to just talk to him but I want to run it by one of our mutual friends first but I'm scared.

    Weirdness.... ugh. People. Is it possible he lied to you about his interest because he thought you weren't interested....?

    I dunno.

    hmm, it might just be me but these all sound like things good friends do? maybe after that conversation he didn't want it to get weird and really wanted to keep your friendship so he is just being extra attentive? i mean, making you feel incuded is a friend thing, and buying you stuff might just mean he is a bit of a gentleman? there is the possibility that after you two said that he either lied as you did (probably for the same reason you did, as irony would have it) or he might have developed feelings afterwards and had just been surpressing them?

    but in all honest it doesn't sound like he is doing anything particularily romantic? i mean, i wasn't there so i don't know, is there anything else he has been doing that is sending mixed signals? because it sounds like you might just be thinking these things are romantic because you have romantic feelings for him? (again, i wasn't there nor do i have all the info so i could be mistaken)

    I can't even take my tail off right, even though I read the caring threads like twenty times and even once before we left for the beach today.

    I don't know what I'm doing wrong, heck I can't do it any other way because I need to take it off.
    And still I ripped the seam even more at the waist and now I don't dare to use my tail anymore before I get home and can repair it.
    I used towels, didn't pull directly at the waist, did it a little bit at a time...
    But I can repair it. Still feel so terrible for destroying Fifi's hard work.

    Aww, Yulia. It happens to the best of us. At least it's repairable!

    I was in your situation once. He honestly wasn't romantically interested in me, he was just really affectionate towards close friends and once we had established that we both wanted to be just good friends, he felt comfortable being as affectionate as he wanted to be towards me. Turns out other friends in the past had misinterpreted his affectionate behavior and things had gotten very awkward.

    Maybe this guy just feels more comfortable around you now that he knows where he stands with you and is just being himself more freely now that he doesn't feel the need to worry about how you feel about him. As for inviting you out and buying you beverages, you shouldn't worry about them being romantic gestures; those are just things friends do, even friends of the opposite gender. Buy him a beverage next time you two go somewhere, see how he reacts. ^_^

    One of my guy friends just asked me out.

    I knew it was coming, and I even like him romantically, but there are so MANY reasons why this is a no go.

    Namely, I'm about to go into my senior year of high school. He's two years older than me and leaving for the air force in thirty days. I just can't...

    So I invited him out for coffee and a pokemon battle and told him to knock that Davy Jones Locker shit off. (We're both maritime nerds, and enjoy role-playing as pirates. It was REALLY funny when I got into mermaiding, just gonna say)

    Yes, he really pulled "I wanna go on a date with you before I die" bullshit.

    He's going in as an engineer. -.-
