I don't know how that would help. I sold/purged 90% of my clothes before the new year, leaving me with pretty much a cache of white and black shirts, work pants, and two formal wear combinations. My drawers quite literally look like the old cartoon visual gag of "Hmmm, what am I going to wear today?" that everyone from Mickey Mouse to Spongebob has pulled.
And I honestly don't have the money to invest in a complete makeover. A hair cut, maybe, but new clothes? I already have until May to find a job before I'm broken and default on my loans due to lack of funds. And none of my dad's clothes fit me since I'm skinnier than he is, barring the fact his nicer clothes date to the 70s at the most.
Maybe I should just do the stupid thing and walk into a salon to ask for the first available stylist to give me a hair cut that will get me hired somewhere. Anywhere.
Get a suit. It doesn't need to be super expensive, get one that looks good on you. Then wear the suit. I am a fan of suits, they look spiffy and professional. A clean shave and a mid-length parted haircut are also good. And stand up straight, sit up straight when you're sitting, and smile. Learn how to give a firm (but not bone-crushing) handshake. And look super interested in everything.
Not sure if this helps, but it got me into a few internship positions and college, so there must be some merit to it. And I didn't even have a real suit back then, just a pretend suit that I made up out of pants/jacket combos.
Further reading would suggest that I am a INFP afterall.
You see if I was a INTP, I wouldn't care that I didn't take the other side into account, but this is the odd part:
Being an INFP, I WOULD care about the logic as well, as I would value both sides, (but I think at the push I'd go for harmony).
I like how in one forum someone came up with a theorectical explanation between INTP and INFP.
A INTP mother would clean her kids messy room by categorically picking things up and putting them in their logical place, (so either a slot or a box). Developing an efficient method while doing so.
A INFP mother would get her kid to do it, so they would learn how to do it.
(Even though they may screw up)
If I was a mother however, I would probably get the kid to do it, but then I would sit down with them the first few times, and help them. There would be both logical and emotional benefits from that approach.
I'm INTP. Makes total sense. I've always been of the opinion that if you want something done properly, do it yourself and get pissed at everyone who isn't doing stuff while you do it. Apparently, I've got the correct career path for my personality, though maybe I should have gone into politics with my mastermind tendencies.
"But the INFJ is as genuinely warm as they are complex. INFJs hold a special place in the heart of people who they are close to, who are able to see their special gifts and depth of caring. INFJs are concerned for people's feelings, and try to be gentle to avoid hurting anyone. They are very sensitive to conflict, and cannot tolerate it very well. Situations which are charged with conflict may drive the normally peaceful INFJ into a state of agitation or charged anger. They may tend to internalize conflict into their bodies, and experience health problems when under a lot of stress."
this describes me so well it's stupid. I need to get better with the whole stress thing.

Heh. I'm sort of like that, but I tend to be more feely.
I often end up piling more responsibility than I can handle.
(In a group I tend to go for the hardest tasks, as I believe that I can handle it. But then I moan about how everyone has it easy! (but then I realise that people aren't as capable as me, so what may be easy to me is difficult to them, so I try to reel in that annoyance at incompetence, and try to find a suitable comprimise))
In a group without a defined leader, I almost always become an unofficial leader, as people tend to look up to me, (which I think is crazy to be honest), and ask me for permission ect. (I am in tune with the group harmony, so logically I am the best person to discuss with when it comes to compromise)
And when things go bad, that is when I step in. To try to save the day or something.
EDIT: I did another test earlier and it said I was INFJ as well, (with INTP as a secondary). So the tests aren't entirely accurate.
Mine fits me because I do spend a lot of time thinking. A lot of time. And it's really about anything, sometimes specific problems, sometimes just random things that I decide to think about. Actually, I think I think too much, overthink things, you know? Oh well. It's good for my direction in life.

You know, I do that as well, but thats mostly when I am alone though.
I do it at times when I'm in a sort of "standby" mode. Like when I'm at work or on the bus. Just musing away to myself in the monotony.
(So I guess I don't overthink. Well unless I become stressed and withdrawn. Because then I can only really talk to myself within my "shell")
Suits are not a good idea for someone like me who has to walk to every place I'm trying to get a job at.
You can walk in suits. They're generally made in a way to facilitate the movement of your legs. And if you get the job as a result, then any dry cleaning bills will be perfectly fine.
Well, you could also move to LA. Tons of jobs here. I mean, in the height of the recession my dad's entire office was laid off by his company with no retirement package. He was rehired so quickly by another company that he never lost a day of work. And I believe earlier you said you had a degree in fine arts? Well, you might actually be able to put that degree to use in LA what with all the museums around here.
Maybe that short story I recently remembered could make a great videogame now that I think about it.
Neo-western bounty hunting game.
Could be like a more actiony metroid-vania with megaman style bosses.
Could have the "guild" (or guilds) which have bounties to take up.
(Organised by difficulty, reward, area ect)
You take up a bounty mission, then run to a teleporter which takes you to that area.
(Which can be replayed later minus bosses (maybe throw in a few secrets here and there. ;D))
You clear that level, collect the bounty (or rare item/upgrade), then move on to the next.
The game could be like Tactics Advance, where it has a "main" story missions, and places to go on the overworld ect, but the bulk of the content comes from the missions.
Would have to think about different types of missions to do though.
(Don't want it to get monotonous!)
(Maybe ones with time limits, lots of "kill" obstacles ect.)
EDIT: Looks like I need to get to the drawing board.. (well... drawing table...)
Draw up some characters (even if its crude, it should give me an idea of what I'm looking for), enemies, bosses.
Start coming up with some story or something.
(Shame I don't have that chapter I wrote still... oh well! I guess I'll try to write something better... OH WAIT A MINUTE! I might have something from another idea I had that could work here... I'll have to dig up that file)
Okay so Notch wants to invest the money he made from Minecraft into making Psychonauts 2 with Tim Schafer.
Greatest. Idea. EVEEEERRRRRRR!!!!!!
(I hope its a digital-copy sequel too. As that is a business model which works fantastically. (I'd rather have a slighty lower production value Psychonauts 2 that does great on Steam/Xbox Live/PSN, than another retail failure/moderate success))
my laptop may have committed suicide yesterday. my laptop that cost over 1000 dollars. my life is feckin over
What type of laptop was it? If it was a Mac you can take it to the Apple store and they'll fix it for you. My mom dropped hers down a flight of stairs and they were able recover all of the hard drive as well as repair the whole thing.

Can't sleep. Took a test.
I used to be extroverted. Now I'm INFJ apparently.

Well one thing is clear, I am a INxx! XD
I meant the shocker.

Since when is asking if a place is hiring become the same thing as courting a date?

Hulk Hogan!
Raghaghaghagh, Hoakogan is no match for the ultimate crunchy power of the Warrior! SKRONK!
I need Scissors! 61!
Good for you.
good job

If I ever get the ability to negotiate a multimillion dollar business agreement on Twitter, I'm totally using emoticons.
I know of only one clip that sums up my reaction to this...
You actually had hope for that movie?
