03:18 Stage managers and tech crew needed for impro/comedy show on thursday. Contact me for details. #fb

03:21 #amazonalternative : BetterWorldBooks - second-hand books that raise funds for literacy. www.betterworldbooks.com/

03:23 @cyprogirl networking events often work like that :P (found you from @NicoleJensen)

03:25 @brisneyland map ideas: nightlife places without alcohol, regular arts/stage shows, Adults Only, do-good places

03:27 RT @gloom_yasmin More: www.booksamillion.com/ and www.powells.com/ #amazonalternative

03:28 RT @gloom_yasmin In case anyone's looking for #amazonalternative: www.bookdepository.com ships free to almost 90 countries!

03:31 For all the interconnectedness that is the arts world (everywhere), there's still politics & backbiting. Politics suck! Let's get along #fb

04:02 ONOZ I'VE BEEN DISCOVERED #fb

04:04 @definatalie BOOOOOOOOOOOOOBIIIIIIIIIES

04:09 @Robert_Houdin I've seen individuals do this for their own love letters, but not necessarily a group project

04:26 @jmdonellan and the books + shipping are pretty cheap too! it's too easy to waste all your money, ha

04:27 Another #amazonalternative geared towards swapping books: bookmooch.com lets you swap books internationally

04:31 @cyprogirl yup that's true. it's hard to find a balance sometimes (esp if you're kinda shy and in a room of N-etworkers)

04:33 Crap. We ate the wrong chocolate. :( sorry @joelgilmore!! #fb

04:46 RT @PeterBlackQUT @theinquisitr: "#AmazonFail: how one company will lose millions" - tinyurl.com/d5k75j

04:46 @PeterBlackQUT it's not just GLBT - feminist and sex ed content is being blocked too. Why Amazon Why? #amazonfail

05:40 Goddamn hormones!!

05:43 A possible reason for #amazonfail - too many flags? tehdely.livejournal.com/88823.html

05:47 @trialia in the comments they mention Craig's book and mention that it could be a trial that blow up? #amazonfail

05:49 @trialia is it possible to directly complain to Amazon about certain books? There was a similar campaign against LJ #amazonfail

05:51 @trialia tehdely.livejournal.com/88823.html it's in quite a few different threads, I'm going through them now #amazonfail

05:52 @trialia some people have brought up the no-flag thing and the #glitchmyass thing #amazonfail

05:52 @trialia Amazon and LJ have tags, LJ didn't have "Report This LJ" until very recently - look up Strikethrough

05:57 @trialia aha. hmm. then I'm not sure anymore o_O trying to learn more too

06:01 @trialia Oooh, another theory: Someone from INSIDE the company, cares more about principle than job security. #amazonfail

06:01 @trialia (that came from the LJ post, comments page 2. Bit conspiracy-theorist but plausible) #amazonfail

06:05 @trialia this may explain the "adult content" emails: atara.livejournal.com/582330.html

06:23 @bymaustralia I register myself and nominate @NicoleJensen for your recruitment :)

06:28 @Powells You may get a lot of international orders...get ready!

06:41 I want what Dora's holding: tinyurl.com/dy6pft #fb

07:04 is all alone at home. Anyone wanna come over or invite me out tonight? #fb

07:39 Alternatives to Amazon - please fill out this form and pass it on: snipr.com/fsfmu #amazonfail #amazonalternative

07:48 @edwardharran Don't click on anything that says "Click here to protect yourself"

07:58 RT @djackmanson DO NOT CLICK ON ANY SHORTENED LINKS without previewing them or you can get the new #mikeyy worm: pls RT

08:47 Coilhouse magazine looking for illustrators and designers: tinyurl.com/d4ww2z #fb

09:38 @briscreative yeah, to whoever's asking

09:57 @a_lil_spaz somehow i think you will enjoy this one ;) community.livejournal.com/metaquotes/7100089.html

10:24 I like the position of marriage quoted here: community.livejournal.com/metaquotes/7099746.html #fb

10:34 @GoddessLeonie HAR! My cycles and emotions have been out of whack for a few days now. Still waiting for my period...

10:39 A good theory on why religious authorities are concerned about the term "marriage": tinyurl.com/dlol4z #fb

20:59 A dear friend of mine sounds terribly depressed and I'm worried about him. What can I do to help?

22:35 @iusebiro that theory got debunked...but no confirmed answer either way

22:38 Possible explanation for #amazonfail: tinyurl.com/ctdxc3

22:58 @darrenhayes POP!

07:44 Which Fall Out Boy soundalike has a song with Blondiesque guitars & the refrain "I - DON'T - CARE" something something something? #fb

08:16 back from Coffs Harbour for friend's 21st. whoo, tired. #fb

08:17 @trishalynn rearless? I have a rear, albeit a small one :P actually I'm really a big chicken. too easy to spook!

08:25 How pathetic must I be to be rejected for an Expression of Interest for Admin Assistants by a TEMP AGENCY?

09:02 The term "People of Colour" annoys me. It's not just White vs PoC, people. I don't stand for everyone else with chocolate skin! #fb

09:05 @djackmanson thanks man, I really appreciate the info :)

09:14 @djackmanson what annoys me is when "well-meaning" white activists go on about PoC blah, then discount opposing voices from "POC" themselves

09:18 @djackmanson er, not yet, I hope not!

09:28 Why I hate the equation "Race = privilege + power": tinyurl.com/caxjcg #fb

09:30 @a_lil_spaz change your password!!

09:33 Damn you Mikey! (nope, not a worm message): www.bnonews.com/news/242.html

10:00 wtf "colourism"?

10:40 @iusebiro a term used by people to explain racism that doesn't fall into the "privilege + prejudice" thing -_-;;

11:04 ooo! A job as a captioner for TV! tinyurl.com/d8mxus #fb

12:20 TS.Com April dreamboard! (feat. The Merch Girl and Gala Darling) tinyurl.com/cx44zv

21:02 Hey Amazon, if you're going to block "adult" content, at least be consistent about it. PlayBoy's OK but GLBT lit isn't? #amazonfail #fb

21:36 Tweenbots - aww this is ADORABLE! www.tweenbots.com/ #fb

22:05 Hmm, maybe I should get a Sugar Daddy as a Patron of the Arts: www.seekingarrangement.com (hahahaha) #fb

22:45 'fl!p' gets better towards the end, esp. About changing limits & strategy on the go. 5-year-Plans don't work anymore! #fb

00:33 @spam @bonezlyfe

01:15 @GoldCoastGirl can you borrow one?

01:40 I have to solve anagrams and do a police check...for a job app as a mailroom person. o_O

02:12 @jamievaron sparks fly?

02:14 needs a hug because she feels like crap #fb

02:52 @avrilchan @PixelProject @drjon @lyyyl @weisslu @zomb1etron @geminianeyes thank you :) <3

04:10 @martharunnette oh awesome! someone responded! we probably do know some people too - do you know Bob & Anke? or Rob Pryterch?

04:23 @fmll I tried the melted-hot-chocolate drink - YUMMY! but oh now I need gallons of water.

08:55 How does one get a no-sex-required job in the sex industry, like a receptionist at a brothel? Is there a specific SexHub job site? #fb

09:05 @djackmanson heh. I'm more curious. I remember my first sem here a brothel advertised for a receptionist on the QUT Guild classifieds

10:58 @danschawbel my condolences.

11:03 Continuing on previous question: In Australia, what does a hostess in a gentlemen's club do exactly? #fb

11:17 @exocetau as they're usually defined on websites like Love and Rockets :P

11:45 Holy crap. Some people can really be such a PEST! tinyurl.com/cmngzu #fb

11:54 so annoyed now. I need help finding a job; I don't need to be attacked just because I didn't want to pretend to be Catholic. #fb

12:03 @trishalynn It's for the Selective Twitter App; anything you mark with that # gets X-posted to your Facebook profile

12:05 BTGOG apologized, which was sweet of her. I probably shouldn't have lashed out at her like that, but I'm not in a great space to day.

12:14 @magicalmudge aww. *hugs*

12:15 Sorry everyone for being Crankypants Grumpus today. Hopefully after this weekend I'll be better. #fb

21:57 The eLance conumdrum: you need feedback to get jobs, but you need jobs to get feedback... #fb

22:08 This could explain the earlier news about Aussie women going up in bra sizes: www.nytimes.com/2009/04/09/fashion/09bra.html

22:39 RT @JohnnyBTruant I'm overdue to write about how freaky my social circle has become. is.gd/6mc9 FREAKS UNITE! (RT if you're a freak)

22:51 @darrenhayes Never wait for chocolate! It's Easter so there's always more ;)

23:00 hopefully going to Coffs Harbour for Anna's 21st tonight will cheer me up a bit

03:12 @kyeli She had blue hair too so I sent her your video, but she wasn't quite a fan unfortunately...ah well, diff strokes diff folks!

03:13 @ninashah no!! I shall findsz it!

03:18 @agent_x @NicoleJensen for my VRES project I learnt that many "disabled" people don't see it as something unfortunate or a failing

03:19 @agent_x @NicoleJensen many disabled ppl find the "oh poor you" attitude patronizing and don't actually want to *fix* their "disability"

03:19 @agent_x @NicoleJensen it's something of a political and academic movement. Very interesting, blew my mind!

03:22 @geminianeyes I don't think that's fair. Reputable websites are still vulnerable to hacks but that doesn't reflect on their knowledge of Net

03:24 @NicoleJensen was reading your archive and came across your comment about being blind. It sparked a research memory :)

03:26 @agent_x Saw a comment from @NicoleJensen to you about being blind, which I thought was interesting. Sorry lack of backstory!

03:30 @NicoleJensen It's a decent theme, but go with what you feel reflects you and makes you happy. Tis your site :)

03:30 CEOs & HR Managers of non-profits wanted for survey on ethical jobs: tinyurl.com/cpxo57

03:39 @GoldCoastGirl for a moment I thought you were @QuirkyKat because she has bunny ears in her icon XD

03:40 @agent_x ...oh dear. poor whale. XD What next? Mail Whale? Kale Whale? Pail Whale?

03:44 @m1khaela SO MUCH WORD to your transphobia comic. I see similar sentiments against bi/pansexual people also. It SUCKS!

03:50 @flightcentreAU your staff at Brisbane CBD are awesome!! :D

04:03 @jkottke I had the EXACT SAME PROBLEM yesterday with some website copy. And I have this issue all the time, but mainly with artistic stuff.

04:20 RT @PixelProject Are you a marketing pro who's a whiz at snagging sponsorships? Looking for a volunteer opp in the VAW cause? Contact us!

04:57 @playtwivia Molotov cocktail

05:14 ok, something's up with YouTube audio - I've got the volume really low and it's still REALLY LOUD

05:21 RT @themerchgirlnet OH MY GOD. I WANT THIS. tinyurl.com/cq9tja #fb

07:22 @PixelProject if it's Niki Cheong it's a guy ;)

07:29 Do you have to be on Centrelink to apply for jobs on the Australian JobSearch site? #fb

07:30 @lainie hishamuddin for?

07:32 @geminianeyes link plz

07:35 @geminianeyes muhyiddin as DPM! his kid was in my school! small world XD and is it required for the PM to also do finance?

07:36 @geminianeyes "dear muhyiddin. your daughter & I were in the same primary school. I see you're the edu minister. Our school sucked. Change!"

07:38 @allaboutenergy I think it's time to listen to that Money Reiki mp3 again because job searching is sucking & I need a mental boost!

08:00 @RichardWiseman better in what sense? better according to you? they do provide a sense of comfort even if not directly healing

08:23 I manifest ways to maintain my livelihood and support my arts training with full assurance of having my needs met & enough time for me. #fb

08:25 @PixelProject not that book itself, but stuff about it. I like the core idea of aligning your mindframe to your goal, but not the hype!

08:45 @RichardWiseman I'd say that moral support certainly goes a LONG way in helping patients get better but it depends on the patient

08:46 @RichardWiseman it's not exactly something you can measure with tight logic - it depends on people's psychology & background

08:46 @RichardWiseman for example, a Christian priest won't do anything for me necessarily but a Goddess prayer from a Pagan priestess may help

08:51 @edwardharran They owe me an email! are signups open?

08:57 If I unfollow you here it probably means that I've got you on @themerchgirlnet so see me there :)

09:09 I suspect I lost quite a number of friends + supporters when I dropped the KaosPilot campaign & moved on to other things. Pity, but hey. #fb

09:12 @geminianeyes perhaps, but it's still a bit sad. "Oh, you're no longer a social entrepreneur, I don't like you anymore." :|

09:14 @fmll my goodness! I hope you and your family are OK. *hugs*

09:16 @geminianeyes that's exactly what makes me sad about it! people who I thought would support me thick & thin only like me in an act.

09:17 @TwitlitZone what happened to you? You didn't even finish the last story!

09:26 @dahliamartin it's more subtle - ppl hardly talking to me, not as open, etc. I hope my current arts mob doesn't do the same when I move on!

11:43 Is SEO even worth the trouble? My stuff has no problem being on Google's front page - it's getting ENGAGEMENT that I'm focused on.

11:47 @definatalie that's exactly what I'm thinking. All the people trumping PR and SEO seem to be missing the point about the Internet

11:53 @darksbane it depends. Sometimes I wish I was *less* prominent - my alt-edu blog often gets comments from ppl thinking I'm UN or World Bank

11:54 @darksbane but it's hard to get more engaged people - I tend to attract readers rather than commentators, but I want feedback!!

12:54 @fmll where do you find such deliciousness!

13:18 @tvtropes is there a trope for senseless deaths just because the actor's leaving?

14:26 Where can I go to fix my need for a fantastic life so that I can be happy w/ normal & not always be disappointed? #fb

21:21 is feeling rather bummed about life

21:31 where's @NicoleJensen?

22:21 @EmpathicAmanda howdy :)

22:21 Your true friends are the ones who still love you even if you decide you don't want to be on Twitter or Facebook anymore. #fb

22:36 RT @cofiem Creative Commons is a way to license your work. What does attribution require? twtpoll.com/hzq5wc #twtpoll

03:21 awh, I wasn't even shortlisted for the Nova Promotions Coordinator job. I thought they'd love my app for the circus references...

03:29 I actually like using Twitter as an RSS feed aggregator. It's easier to ignore stuff you don't want to read + click on interesting links

03:35 @djackmanson not totally. Twitter would be best for high-volume feeds - Boing Boing, Jezebel, etc

03:44 Need help at tweetbrain.com/q/00001E7B for my question: "My ex-internship has a job open. When I was there I felt that I didn'…"

03:47 @djackmanson @kissability I went to see it last week, it's AWESOME!

03:47 oh geez, all these new Twitter followers and I didn't know because Twimailer was down. HELLO PEOPLE!

04:24 @pressdarling yay tea!

04:35 I recommend Autumn Heep (@heepoleaves) for all your print design needs. She's doing my resume and it looks AWESOMESAUCE :D

04:41 ATO gave me my utterly belated tax return, and no fines! awesome! but no ruddmoney yet... #fb

04:45 @worldmegan what's something you've been holding off for a while? do that as a reward :)

04:47 @worldmegan massage, then chocolate, is usually my answer. That, or stacks of books!

05:11 @JayJayLive Hey dude, I used to be totally obsessed with magic as a kid. Considering starting it up again to incorporate with my burlesque

05:46 @JayJayLive I train with Lena! She's awesome! I met you at the YES 08 event. Add my burlesque acc - @themerchgirlnet (can't DM you)

05:56 Everyone in my life who thought I had great writing skills must be lying or delusional... :\ #fb

06:05 @a_lil_spaz fwiw you don't have to be tall or thin to be in the sex industry - any body shape works :P

06:10 @a_lil_spaz just start the damn business anyway. it's your life, your money in the end. go go go! (also look at @ProNagger...)

06:54 Come to Edge Improv's The Series tonight! Kitty o' Sheas, Caxton St, Brisbane. 7:30pm, FREE! I'm there too! #btub Improv, anyone? :) #fb

07:11 @a_lil_spaz I figure with the #btub tag I'd actually get a decent chance of having an audience! You did say we can organise our own #btubs..

07:14 @exocetau yeah exactly, so I propose a mini #btub+improv show at Kitty o'Sheas tonight :P

12:10 @a_lil_spaz share the blog you commented on :)

12:11 It's funny how all these "Internet Marketers" on Twitter are really BAD at the core of marketing: engaging people. Urgh spam!

12:14 @Kezarah I go through phases!

12:16 @a_lil_spaz which chick just did what? *confused* @kyeli with the blue hair is awesome as

12:20 @a_lil_spaz ah! you'll likely stand out from the "thanks, awesome article, visit my blog" drive-bys :P

12:23 @a_lil_spaz It's "Freaky Thursday", what were you expecting :P @kyeli and her partner @PaceSmith do cool work on communication issues :)

00:09 @PSHPlatypus For The Win. and Amazon ate your picture.

00:15 one of my Work Experience uni places has a job opening...woo!

00:25 @vivzilla aww how'd you find out? I filed my tax return totally late and have no idea if I've done it right

00:30 @vivzilla I have one entire job unaccounted for on my last tax return because I don't have the PAYG slips for it. Meep.

00:32 @galadarling your stomach demands food but you have no motivation to do the eating process. Happens to me often.

00:39 @MiraclesGoddess Yay thank you! :)

00:42 Must read: "Waking Vixen » Healing My Broken Feminist Heart" #fb ( tinyurl.com/cao6p4 )

00:51 I wish all the people I've applied jobs from would just get back to me. Acceptance, rejection, "still looking", whatever. Just REPLY! #fb

01:47 making a travel diary (all overseas trips in the past 10 years) for PR app. It took Mum & Dad 3 hours to go through my passport! #fb

02:08 Tip for potential residency applicants: Make a travel diary of all your overseas trips for the past 10 years + update it. It'll save time!

02:10 this applies to both PR and citizenship, and for almost any country. Seriously, by the time you'll need it, you'll be glad you kept a record

02:12 one of my followup emails just had a reply - didn't get the Merchandising job at QPAC. awh.

02:13 @davideedle Sometimes they do reply saying "thanks for the app" but then I never quite know if I've been shortlisted

02:17 @MarkHeartofBiz Are you blessing someone or responding to a sneeze? :P

02:37 @cameronreilly That's a very narrow view of Christianity and does not take into account the vast diversity of viewpoints within.

02:40 @cameronreilly That's like saying all Australians are football-loving bogans that play with crocodiles.

02:41 @nicolejensen I've had run-ins with faeries. They tend to steal stuff for the heck of it.

02:44 @djackmanson @Espressocomms ...somehow I was expecting this answer :P

02:44 RT @djackmanson Atheism doesn't need "converts" IMO ... secularism is far more important than "proving" atheism. (SO MUCH WORD)

02:46 @cameronreilly "the church" - which one? Catholic? Protestant? Mormon? Quaker? Baptist? Episcopal? Jews for Jesus? Sex for Jesus?

02:50 @cameronreilly @nomadiquemc even Chris Columbus's history is suspect. He wasn't the first to reach America, for one.

02:50 @cameronreilly Our knowledge is constantly changing and growing. How can we be so sure that all we know NOW is the ultimate truth?

02:52 does not care to associate with bigots and misogynists, of whatever stripe. begone (at least from my friends list)! #fb

03:12 just learnt that "bespoke" meant "custom". All this while I thought it was similar to "intricate"...

03:43 feels shaken up and nervous for some reason

04:08 RT @lifeatthebottom 'How to get a job in advertising' - the best advice we've seen on the web! bit.ly/kldn4 (Thanks to @BrandDNA)

04:20 @briscreative lol "one was @divabat". I can get you some stories from my year if you'd like! who's working on event

04:23 @jamievaron insults like that are par for the course when you're an iconoclastic young woman!

04:31 @CustomTees would you really want to wear a t-shirt that announced you as the greatest "twit"?

04:45 50 best jokes from the Edinburgh Fringe (some of these made me chuckle): snipr.com/fdyjp

07:18 @drjon Fun is one thing - I never thought it was POSSIBLE, considering how unfit I was

04:58 @jamievaron would you recommend someonecreativeshouldhireme.com? I need a job, just not picky about the company. Jobhunt's going nowhere!

05:01 @lindyasimus heh, I just found that while she didn't get hired at Twitter, she got tons of opps and now runs her own business. woo!

05:06 @jamievaron Dream job would involve creativity, learning, people. Right now am busy training in circus/burlesque so I need something for $$!

05:34 @pressdarling Mine just does it automatically except for @replies. I wish there was a #xfb tag for stuff I want to keep to twitter!

05:40 @djackmanson ok cool, will try that

05:49 @synapticmysfire for what it's worth, I can relate to you re: #btub. Definitely felt that Fri night, hard to sustain a convo.

09:12 @a_lil_spaz what's the question? sorry, missed it while making dinner

09:14 @a_lil_spaz utterly fascinating! has a burlesque feel to it too :D you may get a fascinator sponsorship, lol

10:39 @joanjdj try looking for people who have uploaded it onto their own accounts. there'll be tons of "pirate" versions

11:13 @nicolejensen heh, I just followed AskMefi tags for "promotion" and started following random Twitter folk :P

11:32 @nicolejensen @samclifford re: bra sizes - it's also likely bcoz of the manufacturer. Bra sizes aren't very standard across brands

11:33 @nicolejensen @samclifford also consider *improved* nutrition, mixed marriages, migration from cultures w/ bigger chests

11:38 @a_lil_spaz look up Etsy for fascinators. BEAUTIFUL STUFF.

11:50 until I get a regular paying job or a major sponsorship/investment, I'm not sure how long I can sustain my creative wave. so worried. #fb

01:01 is not a very social person, despite outwards appearances (i suck at schmoozing!).

04:28 @NicholasPerkins @KateEdwards I assure you the damage was unintentional!

04:28 @a_lil_spaz hehe :) I felt very outta place at #btub - missed 2 hours, couldn't sustain any conversation longer than 1 minute...

05:06 Yo Dita, stripping doesn't define burlesque: www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/a150137/von-teese-dolls-were-not-burlesque.html

11:40 @purplefae ooh err ;)

13:23 Where are all the opportunities for bi/pan women in Brisbane? All the queer women stuff targets lesbians only

13:27 @kissability I meant stuff like parties or events - the women-only ones are also lesbian-only, which is rather annoying

20:48 @spam tradedayuk

22:20 What's on today? I have nothing much to do

22:53 has *Womanizer* stuck on the brain

22:56 @dr_sunshine HALLO!!!!! :D Go on, post something!!

22:58 My sister is on Twitter! she hasn't written anything yet, so go say hi to @dr_sunshine :D

23:00 @zenatplay it's a mash of stuff. I performed w/ a remix & Felafel the play had a Diva Disco Dance to it. It's pretty catchy :D

23:20 If I'd like to edit a picture from Portugal for use in Australia, whose copyright law am I under?

23:24 @definatalie it's a scan of a 1933 Portuguese magazine which seems defunct. I want to know if it's in public domain.

23:28 @theother66 it's a scan of a really old magazine that's no longer available. CC wasn't invented yet :P

23:29 @definatalie I'm looking, but can't seem to find it

23:32 @definatalie tinyurl.com/cs5asu says life + 70, but I have no idea who the original artist is. gwargh

23:33 @definatalie I want to use the girl in this pic: snipr.com/f8l51 for my @themerchgirlnet logo

00:03 @chrisguillebeau I can't seem to get your site to load :(

00:06 @drjon only because they decided to host their tweetup at the same time - a pretty common time for after-work drinks :P

00:12 If #btub wants to be original about timing, go organise it at 4am on a Tuesday or something. Friday night is super common for meetups.

00:19 @brisneyland you're the only one talking sense about #btub seriously #stopbeingsoprecious

00:20 @definatalie hahaha here you go *gives you a bucket of sense points*

02:08 @a_lil_spaz cool. I'm just remarking on people who think holding an event on Friday night post-work is somehow thoughtless o_O

06:46 @nicolejensen ...there's a lot of people who do stuff for people. Do you mean the artist guy? David Horwitz?

07:03 Try to find me in this @forlongaze video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWlogCAQxyA

13:13 @btub To those of you @ #btub today: please don't post pics of my underpants online. Waist up is fine. Thank you!

13:14 @allaboutenergy lol it wasn't a real audition - it's a mockumentary about an emo band. I had to miss the filming tho! Good fun :)

13:20 @zomb1etron = awesome. Random burlesque = OK but not sure if it was right audience/venue. Sprained foot = bad.

22:07 PayPal just paid me 9 cents to account for a foreign exchange error. yay money!

22:39 Y'all complaining about B105 & #btub ever consider that it's two different audiences that don't necessarily cross over?

23:01 @nicolejensen It's kinda like expecting there to be only one Internet meetup. Maybe B105 WANT Twitter n00bs, or something #btub doesn't have

14:03 "she's dressed like a porn star so I can't take her seriously". Why does it matter how she's dressed? This coming from another feminist even

14:23 @cjmules there's so many subdivisions and often they don't agree with each other. it's like religion, in a way :P

14:25 @pressdarling that sort of IBTP-style radical feminism confuses me. I can kinda see where they're coming from, but it seems inconsistent

10:48 Y'all complaining about slow Internet should be lucky you're not on Malaysian dialup. This is normal for me :P *multitasks with no pics*

10:53 @nicolejensen good point. Those events cost money. Sponsorships? Some other deal?

11:03 @yangwong try being born & raised in Malaysia but holding a Bangladesh passport because M'sia is too silly to give you citizenship!

11:19 @YouGetToChoose what time is it where you are? Can you Google their number somewhere? I'd say leave after 15 mins.

01:48 Is it a good idea to apply for a role as a boarding mistress with a Christian girl's school if you yourself are not Christian?

02:27 @translinkseq the 412 absolutely needs banana buses. It's full all the time!

10:58 @curiousheidihi I have no clue! It's Presbyterian/Methodist and has something about "supporting the Christian ethos"...

10:59 @toria_jayne A friend just pointed out that my burlesque stuff would be a major negative for me. Bummer! Free room & board!

10:59 @tneilen there weren't really a lot of criteria, though for teachers they wanted folk that "support the Christian ethos" hmm

11:00 @djackmanson yeah the school had that for potential teachers but nothing for this position o_O

11:00 @nicolejensen where are you woman?? o_O

11:01 @vivzilla someone pointed out to me that my "extra-curricular" activities may be an issue. bummer!

11:01 @geminianeyes it'd help if I knew what their ideals are beside "christian ethos"! how's presbyterian/methodist like?

11:02 @VitalFlameCoach Open to suggestions, though hoping for something creative/community. in Brisbane, Australia

11:57 @geminianeyes the kanji itself says "gojinjo faiko noto city"

11:58 @Turmalina11 Are there any Pagan groups in your area? Contact them and they could refer you. Maybe host a study circle! #ideaparty

12:07 Here's a simple one: #W/O W: to relieve my itching (got bitten by mites last night) O: nothing's open tonight, no creams around #ideaparty

13:06 @kirsticache I remember reading about an art group that gave away "mini art grants" to people on the street just coz they could #ideaparty

13:10 @kirsticache don't worry about people stealing ideas. There's not really any original ideas. The trick is in execution #ideaparty

13:13 @Jaybezo look around; maybe there's already someone with a pottery workshop that could let you share the space #ideaparty

21:37 @bethlamie ok cool. The Merch Girl is my burlesque character who also assists with events (sells merch, ASM, etc) #ideaparty

21:37 @bethlamie entertaining your fans while making your show life easier! #ideaparty

21:39 @married Not Singapore, Malaysia (since I might be going back there for a month or so). More performance than trade show but yeah #ideaparty

21:41 OH GOOD NEWS!!! My burlesque teacher said YES to being my mentor!! :D Thanks Idea Party! #ideaparty

21:41 @florabrown meeting planners! good idea :) (been looking up events planners but not meeting planners) #ideaparty

21:42 @bethlamie @married @scannerlady ah yep, I could do a promo video. Will do one soon then :) #ideaparty

21:42 @florabrown Not for this role exactly; I do have a previous performance on there #ideaparty

21:43 @married It'd be different sort of gigs - likely more events assistance than burlesque-inspired. Open to suggestions #ideaparty

21:49 @mylifedreams look for other psychic-ly inclined people who also need a kick in the pants (for motivation); motivate each other #ideaparty

21:50 @mylifedreams community radio! there's a station here in Brisbane where members can make their own shows #ideaparty

01:14 W: Come back to Australia ASAP to start new life. O: Parents VERY overprotective & unwilling to let go, but need their $ for visa #ideaparty

01:14 @Lalixe I emailed my teacher the mentorship request letter; haven't heard a response yet (she just finished touring)! #ideaparty

01:18 @Lalixe haven't had the chance to, I just sent it yesterday! XD also a bit busy with graduation atm (tomorrow!! o_O) #ideaparty

01:22 @nicolejensen @websinthe @kissability what's this about discrimination & stereotypes?

01:23 @janewmeade OH GOD NO. Trust me, we get along better when we're not in the same continent! #ideaparty

01:23 @Lalixe I'm from Malaysia; going back there Fri after graduation. Need to get paperwork sorted b4 applying for new visa. #ideaparty

01:24 #anxiety sucks arse :P

01:26 @allanbacon LOL! I wish I did but I'm a poor liar (and I wouldn't need to get their money :P) #ideaparty

01:27 @allanbacon btw there's an Aussie comedian who looks like you! I thought you were him at first!

01:28 @nicolejensen Uni = death :P not ideal for practical CI stuff. try interning or temping somewhere...

01:28 @kissability aww, I'm not anxious now, just joining in the hashtag XD

01:30 @Lalixe I have a circus traineeship here that I'm going back for, + other stuff. They don't like the idea though. Looking for job #ideaparty

01:31 @Lalixe the trick is to get them to let me have a visa to begin with :P I think they'll be ok, just hem&hawing #ideaparty

01:31 @Lalixe I'll try asking the alum office :) #ideaparty

01:32 @allanbacon Creative Industries, did arts management & creative writing. Need to get money in either 2 days or a monthish! #ideaparty

01:34 @Lalixe ROFL! They don't know *that* part yet ;) they know about the circus traineeship - "WHERE'S THE FUTURE?!" #ideaparty

01:34 @allanbacon visa expenses cost about AUD$3000+ #ideaparty

01:35 @allanbacon half and half really. whenever I try to talk to them about it they change the subject or say unhelpful stuff #ideaparty

01:36 @allanbacon Mikey Robins: www.mikeyrobins.com/

01:37 @Lalixe can you talk to my parents?? :D yay more circus folk! #ideaparty

01:38 @Lalixe cool, I'll use that when I talk to them (they're arriving tonight!) #ideaparty

01:38 @allanbacon Not sure but I'll see. Probably not enough to make up $3k though. Could do vollie workshops but that's about it #ideaparty

01:46 @Lalixe not for artsworkers unfortunately, foreigners have to virtually pay their own way in Aus #ideaparty

01:48 @Lalixe to do that I need a visa to get back into Australia...to do THAT I need money to afford the visa... #ideaparty

01:48 @janewmeade hold a dance party at home! or bring a radio to work and dance at lunch hour! #ideaparty

01:52 @allanbacon buy a hunk of cheese and start sculpting ;) #ideaparty

01:54 @Lalixe hmm, i have been looking for grants but haven't heard back yet. Companies are an interesting idea - what do they get? #ideaparty

01:54 OMG MINI COW: minicattle.com/entry.cfm

01:57 @Lalixe *ponders* any good resources for this sort of thing? Somehow "sponsor a circus n00b & you'll smile!" seems hollow #ideaparty

01:57 @Lalixe not dad's company for sure (he's the ceo but it's quite conservative) but may ask around *brain ticks* #ideaparty

01:58 Which companies (Aus, Mas, etc) would be open to sponsoring a budding performance artist? (like how sportstars are sponsored to play)

01:59 @Lalixe ooh! So W part 2: which companies are open to sponsoring budding performance artists? #ideaparty

02:02 @joelgilmore it's just statuses, but on steroids (tm @nicolejensen or @sebbity)

02:03 @ArsinoeNYC what's happening with the apartment? fill me in #ideaparty

02:04 @geminianeyes where's the info about menj owning pps? can't find it anywhere

02:15 @ArsinoeNYC There are plenty of adult travellers who could use the apartment #ideaparty

03:24 @chrisguillebeau do you know of people who write about unconventional living (like you) from an artistic perspective?

06:45 feeling depressed about packing things away

06:55 @dieselfire going back to Malaysia for a while. Want to come back to Brisbane, just not sure when exactly. Hoping sooner rather than later
