Pen is my favorite medium. I'm a freelance artist. I post a lot of my art on the internet. There is good money in it. Some months are hard to pay rent. I have started to make portraits of pets. My boyfriend helps out. I am in no hurry to get married.
I like writing. I am a writer for a local newspaper. I don't make enough money. I am thinking about switching careers. I'm interested in freelance art. I am good a art with a pen. I am obsessed with pens. There is a guy at work I would like to date.
I just got a job to do 2 pet portraits! That's awesome! Congratulations. What are the pets? One is a labradoodle, and the other is a chihuahua. Very different breeds, and very different sizes, so I'll need to be a little creative with the backgrounds and foreground, but I'm very excited! What's going on with you the last few days? Nothing exciting. I've been writing for the newspaper as usual but it's been a little slow so I've had more time to draw. I've been meaning to ask you about that new pen set you mentioned last time. Could you give me informatin please. Oh, those were actually lemons. Would you believe that one exploded while I was using them and ruined my new blouse?! Definitely not a strong purchase! Oh no! So glad you told me. Were you able to get your money back? Some of those pen sets can be quite expensive!! I know. So unfortunate. I'm working with the customer service folks now. They say they only issue refunds in the form of store credit, but that's not very appealing from my perspective. Why would I purchase another of your products? Just give me my money back directly so I can purchase a product that actually functions appropriately. Not a great look for their brand. We'll see what happens. Have you thought any more about asking that guy out -- the one you work with? Thought about it ... all the time!! Actually worked up the nerve to do it ... not at all. But there is this work camping trip that we've all been talking about so I'm hoping he decided to go and I can get to spend some time with him away from work. Any advice on how to approach him? Hmm...I mean, every guy is a little different. I would just try learn about some of his interests or hobbies and ask some engaging questions to break the ice. Maybe ask if he'll join you for a hike because you are concerned about going alone? They usually like it when you tell them you need their protection! Guys... That's a great idea. I'll definitely try that. I'll let you know how it goes. Speaking of guys ... how's your boyfriend doing? He's good. Not that he'd tell me otherwise. He's a man of few words. We give each other lots of space, which works out great for both of us. We love living together and doing things together, but not to the extent that we need to be inseparable all the time. It's a good balance. How long have you guys been living together?
