One of the requirements of living off government money when one is unemployed is that you have a job services case worker who meets with you occasionally to discuss why you think you are still unemployed, ask you what skills you have and what you are doing to make yourself more employable etc. My jobs services provider is in one of the poorest parts of the state meaning that someone with a degree is new to them and they do not really know how to work with someone who wants a career and not just a job and has as many qualifications as me and is still unemployed. So they haven't contacted me in 6 months and now, since I got myself a job placement, they are all bamboozled and instead of sending me to vocational school for two weeks they are letting me do my internship full time for two weeks and no one will bother me about going to job interviews etc. so I have been getting up early every day this week (something very new to me, and I trend I can hopefully continue beyond these two weeks) and it has meant I am getting to do a lot more stuff in different departments of the festival.
I got my invitation to the opening night the other day. It's pretty exciting, the festival is less than a month away. So now, because the invite said Red Carpet and Film Screening, I am going to have to make myself a really awesome dress. The trouble with working every day however is that I don't have a lot of time to go material shopping, which will mean I will have less than two weeks to make said dress.
I figured I'd make a full round, pleated skirt dress that comes about to me knees, a ruffled, layered under skirt with a love heart bodice covered in black lace up to my neck and down my arms to my hands but only around and under my shoulders, around my neck leaving my back completely bare. That's fancy right?
I hope I get the chance to speak to Geoffrey Rush. I saw him on a train at Camberwell once so at least I'll have a conversation opening. I'm meant to be helping the volunteer co-ordinator guy right now but the system is being crappy so I'm waiting for him to figure out what he is going to do so that when we are putting in details of volunteer hopefuls we do not overlap numbers and thus delete people out of the system.
I was thinking of writing a love letter to one of my genius's but I've been reading Sandman and I can't think of anyone but Neil Gaiman.
Man that is a good series. I was so wrapped up in it on the train yesterday that I didn't even notice that my friend had gotten on the train and sat next to me. When I noticed we had a good laugh and then started talking about 100 Bullet's because I have read it and he hasn't but he wants to.
I'm listening to two playlists on my ipod that kind of merged, so it's half Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd songs that make me feel really calm and that I put together the other night when I couldn't get to sleep, and part poems, fables, songs and skats from beat generation artists. I'd really like to transcribe some and pop them on here because I think they are beautiful and everyone should enjoy them.
Perhaps that will a project for me the next time I get super bored.
