so, what do you DO?
 
Im killing time waiting for info to be emailed to me inbetween trying to clean up a couple rooms in the house etc.


so what do you do?


I study art full time, its fun
I work in a coffee shop too sometimes, weekends mostly
I also look after my partner's mothers biz website and IT such things, its good work that I can fit in around other things
Sometimes I take photos for shows that my partner does, for some extra $. Rarely at the moment though, because the government is not too cool with that, while they pay me also, study allowance.

In my spare time I do arty such things. Paint and draw and take photos. Craft and sewing, knitting, felting, crochet. I make poppets lately, they're lots of fun and helpful for my friends who arent weirded out by pagan earthly magic lovin.

I really like gardening and plants. There is a fern in my bedroom, next to me. Some succulents in pots, its awesome to watch something grow for years and all of a sudden flower. I'd love to live closer to a communal vegie patch, so I had some space to grow food.

I play drums but rarely. My kit is in the same room the bunny walks around in, so at the moment its surrounded by random clothes, junk, and bunny poo. ew.

The rest of the time.. I like listening to music or watching movies or shows. joy!


you?

sounds fun. Is it rewarding?

speaking of.. I need to go finish cleaning.. other people's crap up.

hat and bread 03.07.2008 02:10 AM

The scarce but ever present little angels among them make it worthwhile, surely.

✌➬ 03.07.2008 02:24 AM

I work part-time study full-time.

Style 03.07.2008 02:39 AM

i graduated a few years ago with a bach in business admin. but i don't feel like using it for a career. so i just spend my time producing music and/or djing for fun.

fugazifan 03.07.2008 02:42 AM

i study full time. general/comparative literature and musicology
im in a band
i dj every few months
thats about it

Toilet & Bowels 03.07.2008 04:40 AM

i work for as an office monkey for a film publicity company
i play video games
i waste too much time on the internet
i'm in 2 sort of bands
i still live with my moms
i don't socialise as much as i used to (my choice) but on the other hand i'm also looking to make new friends
on rare occasions i "do" art (i need to step up my game on this because one day i'd like to sell my work)

Savage Clone 03.07.2008 09:13 AM

Music: Play, record, curate events, attend many many shows
Day job: Delivering and assembling furniture in people's homes, which is fun sometimes and horrifying at others. Overall I like it better than jobs that were more supposedly "ideally suited" to my interests, and mostly I enjoy the manual labor aspect.
Too much internet
Many films, especially in winter
Cycling all the time

gmku 03.07.2008 09:40 AM

I write word full time, its fun/not fun
I drink coffee in a coffee shop too sometimes, weekends mostly
I also look after my puppy dog's biz-ness in the yard, its good work that I can fit in around other things
Sometimes I take photos for no reason at all

In my spare time I've done the occasional arty such thing, like draw, paint, and I've been worshiping pagan gods.

I really don't like gardening and plants. There is no fern in my bedroom, next to me. I'd love to live closer to a communal marijuana patch, so I had some weed.

I play guitar but rarely.

The rest of the time.. I like listening to music or watching movies or going to record stores. I'm a fan of Gilmore Girls, Criminal Intent, Californication, Six Feet Under, Weeds, Dexter, and other junk.

Rob Instigator 03.07.2008 10:11 AM

I make $ by working as Technical Supprt/General Services at a fancy law firm
It pays good and I never ever have to take any work home with me.

I go out to eat at difrerent restaurants with my g/f

I buy vinyl and listen to a lot of music.

I read a lot, ussually non-fiction things, mainly science/physics.

I play video games when I get the chance. I am still in the middle of GTA san andreas which I have played for over a year and a half and am only about 1/4 of the way through because it is just too much goddamn fun to drive around and explore and get into gnarly gun battles with gang bangers and the po po.

I paint and draw. I need to get back on the ball.

m1rr0r dash 03.07.2008 10:29 AM

aren't you forgetting something?


....rhymes with flinstigate?

Sonic Youth 37 03.07.2008 10:30 AM

I walk across campus in the rain to find a note posted beside the door that my class has been cancelled because my professor doesn't use technology. So now, I'm sitting here soaking wet.

That's right. I'm a History major.

Other than that.

I read. I play guitar. I talk to people. I go to shows. I drink espresso almost every night. I resent the fact that there is a question on our college's psychiatric evaluation that asks if you've ever read Dante.

girlgun 03.07.2008 11:22 AM

i sell home health and hospice (but not hospice if i can help it). and then i go home and do medical transcription which is practically another full time job.

and then sometimes i go drink beers and shots when i'm done whilst smoking lots of cigarettes. and sometimes i get dragged to bad shows because we seldom have to pay for shows. last night i was dragged to dropkick murphys :( and i forgot to wear my snappy hat. :( :(

Rob Instigator 03.07.2008 11:35 AM

Oh yeah, I also INSTIGATE 24/7

✌➬ 03.07.2008 11:50 AM

I occasionally take photographs of mundane things.
Write, and listen to lots of music.
I also read, and go to museums.

I work as a media planner for a media agency here. will be changing jobs soon, however the profession will remain the same, because I like it and it's fun indeed.

I like to immerse myself in sounds, and I keep trying to create that kind of music that I'd love to listen to myself. I mostly fail, but I don't give up.

I go out for a pint or two (or twelve) with my friends, although I'm not that much of a sociable person.

I watch movies, I play video games.

I keep losing hair. I'll be bald in couple of years' time.

Toilet & Bowels 03.07.2008 12:45 PM

the other thing i do all the time is find out about music

screamingskull 03.07.2008 12:47 PM

I am a first year BA (hons) Fine Art student at Art School (The University Of Central England).

this is my Art School.

 


So basically i wake up at around 9:30 every day, go into uni, sit around talking about random stuff. Sometimes create some art, mostly exchange music with people, and talk about bands we like, sometimes go to a lecture.

I don't have a job, but i am planning to get one over the summer.

Do they offer a B.F.A. there?
At the university of Houston where I got my degree you could choose a B.A. in art or a B.F.A. in art, the difference being a B.F.A. has many more fine arts classes requirements, plus more art history.
