    I'm giving sewing lessons on the side. People will always have to wear clothes after all.

    All I want to do is move to New Zealand and apprentice on a sheep farm. Unfortunately, Kiwi visas are notoriously hard to come by.

    I'll be joining Nonsociety after Mary goes all Single White Female on Julia and eventually uses her Texas Mafia connections to send JA to sleep with the armadillos.

    Crafters say no to the taxman. Good source of underground income. People will buy anything furry or that smells good. Take that as you may.

    My craft is breaking down into the fetal position at 1 pm on Thursdays because it's impossible to be hired even at Barnes and Noble now.

    I would go back to bartending. Of course, I'd never see the sun or the son again, but them's the breaks.

    @katastic: Although her recent stairwell performances speak subtly yet eloquently to the existential drama of the quotidian struggle, the listener is forced to reflect that perhaps something has been lost since the days where she could summon a rapturous, exclamatory force majeur to the Queensboro Plaza environs. Nonetheless, I gave her seventeen cents and the remaining third of my microwave burrito.
