First, I just want to say that I've been lurking here for over a year I think, and it's been fantastic. I feel like I've definitely learned a lot reading about all your experiences.
Secondly, I've finally managed to finish my resume, and I'd really appreciate any feedback you might have on both design and content (PDF here, .jpg under cut). I'm a junior in college, and I'm really hoping to find some sort of internship this summer. I desperately need more design experience.
( Read more... )
And on that note, internships! I'm a little out of my depth here. One of my friends went to Scotland last summer for a chemistry internship, which really got me thinking. I've never traveled out of the country before, and I feel like doing that would be a phenomenal experience for me on a personal level. On the other hand, chemistry majors seem to have websites that just list a ton of internship possibilities, a lot of them are with universities, and a lot of them are paid. I'm thinking the design field isn't quite so lucky? I've been trying to find internships somewhere in the U.K., but the only options I've been able to find are focused on actually going to the country, and just insist that they can find you an internship in your particular field. I think that sounds pretty iffy. Should I just abandon that idea completely and focus on something closer to home?
I've also done a little looking around my home in Ohio and I think I'm going to have issues on that note as well. I haven't been able to find anything remotely design related too close to home, and long commutes will be difficult since we only have one good car right now and I'm not in a position to be buying one any time soon. Is it feasible to try for something far away and just get an apartment for 3 months? Is there much of a chance these days of finding a paid internship? And any suggests for places to look?
Sorry for all the questions, but I'm feeling pretty clueless (and yep, I've been going through the tags. Love this comm!).

Hello everyone!!
I guess I'll start with the basics:
*My name is Jamie
*I'm 15(and will be 16 in May)
*I live in the United States
*I AM FINALLY ALIVE
Those are some pretty basic facts about me. I was in a toxic relationship and didn't realise it until he fucked up for the third time, I did everything he wanted even if I didn't want to, and literally was devoted to him. He was my life, and I was miserable, but I thought he made me happy. Well I now know the truth, and I've finally become...relaxed. Like there's a feeling of "ahhh". But anyway, that's what I mean by finally alive.
I've been severely depressed and I have struggled with an eating disorder for a little over 6 years now - and I'm finally starting to work hard on recovery. I'm finally trying to get healthy, and I'm not angry about it anymore, I feel done with my disorder, and I'm finally getting better. I've also been a cutter for about a year, and I'm now stopping. I haven't done it in over a week and don't plan to. 2010 is my new beginning, and the year I am happy, and start living. So trust me you guys, you won't be disappointed in what you read. My life is super exciting. Well...it's on it's way there. Haha. My life has already become exciting though. But it will just get better.
So add me if you want, don't add me if you don't want to. If you don't mind I'd love comments if you're going to add me, but if you don't comment? I don't care! Because I'm happy now.
If you want to know more about me and my life, then feel free to add me, because I'd love to share my experiences with you. ^-^
Oh, and here's a few pictures of me, if you're curious =P:

Hi Everyone!
I was the one who posted the resume resources last time. I finally finished my new resume. First, I created a really ugly, simplistic one. Then I realized that .. 'hey! I'm a filmmaker, graphic designer and illustrator..' I need something bright and bold and fun. Guys, it took me a really long time realize this. I don't know why.
I have two resume versions: one that has bullet point descriptions and the other has a short paragraph for each work place. What do you think about this? I have been told by high school counselors and strictly people from school that resumes SHOULD be bullet pointed. However, I have heard from many industry people that sometimes a short paragraph is more engaging and easier to read. I don't know... opinions?
I need help on..
-design (typography and layout, basically everything in the white space) The characters on the top are pretty set. I don't want any feedback on those.
-content and typos ( Am I being unclear or vague? What is a better way to say something? and just grammar stuff would be awesome.)
Thanks everyone! I really enjoy this group :D

Hey, so.
I'm Gabe, I'm 18.
This isn't my first LJ account, I've been around for 6 years or so in one form or another.
Right now I'm in my first year of university, located in Kitchener-Waterloo.
I'm a sociology major and loving it.
I want to be either an author or a dinosaur when I grow up.
My entries are mostly really long rants because I have way too much free time to think about shit.
I'm looking for people that actually update their journals fairly regularly that I can comment on and that will comment on my entries. I tend to write a lot very often.
Stuff that I write about will probably have something to do with gender, 'cause I'm transgendered and damn proud, or... just random relationship stuff and my adventures. I love talking to people about my experiences and sharing ideas and stuff, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Other than that... Yeah, I'm Gabe and I'm a dinosaur. What of it?

It's been a momentous 12 months here at LiveJournal. We crossed a capital T at Ten years young. And, like most precocious pubescents, we celebrated turning double digits by publishing our first book! Needless to say, we've experienced some major changes, both inside and out. Before we recap, we'd like to thank you for bearing with us as we've struggled through ungainly growth spurts, identity pangs, and, yes, the occasional blemish. We hope you'll continue to stand by us: We're gaining wisdom with maturity.
Stuff you liked
- Back in February, we placed a call for entries for our ten-year anniversary anthology in
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
lj_turns10. In December (less than a year later!), we officially announced the publication of Live Journal: The First Decade. Featuring an inspired collection of writing, photographs, and artwork from the pages of LiveJournal history, the book has been selected by Blurb.com as a top staff pick! We are proud to have played host to so much talent over the years, and we thank our contributors for sharing their extraordinary work. - We all love quirky surprises, but not when it comes to managing our account settings. This year we streamlined settings into one central account management area. No more pouring through FAQs to figure out how to control privacy settings, modify notifications, adjust mobile settings, or update contact information!
- Being users ourselves, we realize our own mothers couldn't find us on LiveJournal based on our usernames and userpics alone (*heaves heavy sigh of relief*). But since there are times when we actually want to be found, we created a search tool--Find Your Friends--to help locate people by email address (it's in the Friends drop-down menu).
- Spam counter-attack: The war against vicious malware and spambots reigns eternal, but we've been making serious inroads to ensure your online security. We've established new protocols, such as requiring email address validations. We've grown more savvy about ferreting out suspicious behavior. We've added features, like whitelisting, to help you protect your communities. Our valiant (i.e., overworked) spam avengers (a/k/a the LiveJournal ops team) are standing on red alert so you can sleep safely at night.
- After an intensive beta, we launched My Guests at the end of the year, which lets you see who's been hanging around your journal. A number of you have even discovered secret admirers (not all of whom are creepy)!
- Last, but by no means least, we want to thank our volunteers for providing invaluable support and feedback. Their Herculean efforts enable us to answer your questions more efficiently, identify spammers, reduce abuse, and deliver better features (through tireless testing). On behalf of the staff and the larger LiveJournal community, we are truly grateful for their diligence, intelligence, loyalty, and passion.
You got your fix
- We recently debugged a number of the oustanding issues with the rich text editor so your entries look great regardless of whether you know html. You can read more about text editors here.
- In response to user demand, we brought back international voice posting. For more info on voice posting, read here.
- At long last, we revived TxtLJ with Verizon. For more info on TxtLJ, check out the FAQ.
Paid features you enjoyed
- In December, we introduced My Stats, which provides detailed data on who's been viewing your entries as well as statistics on commenting, RSS requests, friending history, and more. Despite a few early glitches, the response has been extremely favorable.
- This year, we launched and improved Notes (i.e., the feature formerly known as Alias), which lets you add private comments on friends and commenters (it's in the Profile drop-down menu). This way you won't be caught red-faced when you strain to remember details about that wonderful LiveJournal friend who sent you a birthday vGift. For more info, read the FAQ.
- When we first announced View friends pages by date, we thought it would be a quiet, minor enhancement. The rave reaction floored us, which made us all very happy. We gave it a fine tuning in February of 2009, so it's even better!
- How embarrassing! It appears pingbacks have gone back to the shop for service. We’ll keep you posted.
We didn't know just much you liked pingbacks until it went in for service. It's back and, judging by your irritation when it wasn't available, this is good news. FYI, pingbacks send instant notifications (via screened comments) whenever someone links to one of your entries on LiveJournal. For more info, read this entry inpaidmembers or check out the FAQ.
Mixed reviews
- The search is still on. Some of you have reported getting more comprehensive results for keyword searches using the new Yandex search engine and like the ability to search within content categories (like entries or comments). Others have not been satisfied with the relevancy of search results. Please be patient. We're still tweaking this product.
- This past December, we wanted to try out a new holiday promotion. Given the crap economy, we decided to offer our Paid/Permanent users a stack of $10 coupons to send to Basic/Plus users for paid account upgrades. We hoped you would like it. And some of you did, but many were disappointed that we didn't offer Give More as well. We want to thank you so much for letting us know. Your input will help us plan better in the future. Just FYI, Paid/Permanent users can continue to send out coupons through January 15th. Coupons can be redeemed through January 31, 2010.
- We were pretty excited about Your Journal Your Money, which allows Paid/Permanent users to earn extra cash by displaying Google ads to Basic/Plus and logged out users. A number of you tried it. Some of you really like it. Others, not so much. (Just FYI, Paid/Permanent users who do not participate in this program will not view ads on journals. Participants will see ads on their own journal, but won't see them on other journals unless they specifically opt in.) For additional details, visit here.
- We relaunched m.livejournal.com, our mobile app. While it offers a nicer UI and enhanced functionality, some of you think we can do better on load times. Like most of us, it's a work in progress. You can customize your mobile settings here. For more info, please read the FAQ.
Missing Inaction
- We shudder to bring up the neon purple elephant squatting on our heads, but, yes, we didn't give you those a la carte userpics. We've been making radical improvements to our backend in order to support them. But no excuses. We know you want them. We cringe every time you mention them. We're sorry we dropped the ball on this, and we promise to do our best to get them to you in 2010.
Stumbling points
- Back in early August, we experienced outages related to a series of DDoS attacks. We are proud to report that we were down a total of one hour over the course of a few days. We thank our heroic ops guys for getting us up sooner and more consistently than any of our less fortunate social networking friends. We apologize for leaving you temporarily stranded.
- A couple of months back, we offered a free, unrestricted vGift, which induced a snowflake cookie avalanche. This resulted in backed up/delayed notifications, which, in turn, led us to reboot systems, rendering scrapbooks unavailable. It took a while to shovel free. Apologies for the inconvenience. We learned a valuable lesson that should keep us calamity-free in the future (fingers crossed while knocking on wood).
- That darn Best Buy ad. First off, we're sorry about the audio auto-play (we got it turned off as quickly as possible). While it's true that we'll continue to show this type of ad to accounts that normally see them (never to Paid/Permanent accounts), we'll make sure the sound defaults to off moving forward. We promise to do our very best to keep ads to a minimum on LiveJournal, while keeping a roof over Frank's head.
Full steam ahead!
As we plunge headfirst into the next decade, we want to take a moment to look back and thank all of our employees, both past and present, who have worked so hard to create our unique and magical universe. We couldn't have made it this far without you: Your contributions brighten our path everyday. We also want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to each and every one of you. Whether you've been around for ten days or ten years, your humor, intelligence, talent, and creativity are what makes this the most vibrant global community on the Internet (the best place on the Web, in our humble opinion). Here's hoping that 2010 will be the greatest year yet! We thank you for joining us as we embark upon another glorious decade of LiveJournal history!
YAWNING Yep, it’s contagious.

I've seen different things in different places, I was wondering if its better to pee right before an ultrasound or not. I've seen in a few different places that it's better to not pee because it's easier to see the baby with a full bladder? But my doctor always asks me if i have to pee again (even if i just went in a cup) right before I walk into the ultrasound room. I figured I'd ask you guys and see what you say. I'll be 10wks 5 days tomorrow and just wanna make sure I get a good shot. Thanks :)

A couple years ago i was diagnosed with hpv after a abnormal pap. Since then every pap has came back "normal". Since becoming pregnant, i have had an outbreak of hpv warts. Has anyone else experienced this, and will it affect my baby during vaginal birth? 35w6d
For those of you who have dopplers at home..This may be a stupid question, but how do you know it is your baby's heart beat and not yours? I have never used or seen one before, but am thinking about getting one!
Brothers, I recommend we go on a fullblown strike, since a slowdown wouldn’t really be noticed.

Today I had my first appointment (which went great, btw! Everything looks good.) Since I had a first appointment last summer with all the tests and everything, I didn't have to get most of them re-done. The doctor said she didn't need to use a speculum for the tests that still needed to be completed--instead she could just put two q-tips to get some cultures. The first q-tip was fine--the second hurt like crazy. I even said "that hurts" to her--it felt like it actually went inside my cervix or something. She didn't say anything, though. She left and I actually started crying a bit because I was still in a lot of pain.
I came home and was sitting in bed and there was still a dull pain...but then it became sharper (and felt like it did when the q-tip was actually in me). Then I got up to pee and...oh man...it hurt SO bad to pee. Worse than when I had a UTI a few months ago. I had just peed before the exam, and it was totally fine. Have you experienced anything like this? I haven't had this test before...so maybe this is not that unusual? I'm not sure...TIA!
Edited to add: In case anyone looks at this in the tags, it looks like it is actually a UTI that they think was exacerbated by the swab. I was just surprised because I've had a UTI before and the symptoms did not come on so suddenly and so painfully! I think this explains it, though. :)

- Mood:
relieved
Does anyone else have that?
It happened to me a few times by now - I'm standing or walking, on a perfectly level surface and then all of the sudden it feels as if my knee or ankle just no longer exists and I fall down or have to sit down... First time it happened when I was standing and I thought it was just a strange thing but oh well. Yesterday I was walking on the paved street, and all of the sudden my knee was no longer there! :( I fell down (on hands and knees, so little one is perfectly fine, just had a bit of wave there). Not a horribly big deal, except for scraped knees and hands, but I really don't like this.
Anyone else experienced this?
UPD: Sorry, forgot to add - 29 weeks today!
