Chris:: Y'know I- [indecipherable] I designed the buildings and fro- get a better scale- and better- and get a better perspective.
Kacey: You do not need a CADD degree to be a comic artist! It- it- it is worthless. You are wasting your degree. You are pissing on it. You might as well wipe your ass with it!
Chris:: That was uncalled for.
Kacey: That is NOT uncalled for. You are wasting it. This makes me so angry! You don't know- I am so big into education and knowledge and all this stuff, and you have so many resources, things that I will kill for. And I mean... doing your art on paper is different than drawing on a computer. You're not using a tablet or anything like that to make Rosechu and Sonichu, and even then, even the buildings, that's not even CADD work. I-I- I don't know what to say, I'm just so angry!
Chris:: [sigh] I don't know what to say either. I'm speechless.
Kacey: That's the problem!
Chris:: [pause] Yeah, I don't know a lot of things, that's the problem.
Kacey: I mean, if you wanna be a comic artist, get an art degree. Go to art school. There are art institutes everywhere.
Chris:: [sigh] Yeah, I guess so (on the priority?)
Kacey: If you think you're as good as you think you are, you- they will accept you right away. Make a portfolio for art school. Take online classes. Why don't you at least google portfolios for art schooling, and you're gonna have to have more than Sonichu and Rosechu in there. They're gonna want some still lifes and real lifes too. But if you [Chris tries to interrupt]- okay, if you want to go the Sonichu and Rosechu route, you're gonna have to make this. You're gonna have to do that.
Chris:: [sighs very quietly] Yeah.
Kacey: [Also sighs] I mean... I just don't know. I mean, people just aren't gonna do this stuff for you. And if they do, they shouldn't, because they're- they're only hurting you. You have to stand on your own two feet.
Chris:: Yeah... and you said financial aid can help me get housing and uh,
Kacey: Nonono! Financial aid helps pay for your schooling. But the government, since you are on disability, will help you with housing. They'll help you with school payments. I mean, you can get so much, because they want people like you to help themselves, so you can get off that tugboat. That's the whole point. They are going to put more effort into you, so that you will stop sucking on- you know, sucking up their money. And you will be a productive member of society. That's their goal. The-this whole program is supposed to help push you, not for you to live off of your whole life.
Chris:: I understand... I understand that. And yet I still- (spent time) at the Social Security office, into and addition to uh- in addition to the job thing. And I appreciate you doing your research for me. And I- I've kept that in my memory as well.
Kacey: Well, I hope you actually use it. Maybe I'll e-mail you the web sites.
Chris:: Yeah.
Kacey: If you have any questions, you call the number that's on there. Or you can even ask me, but I'm not gonna do the whole thing for you. You have to do this. Kim's not gonna do this for you either.
Chris:: I understand.
Kacey: I mean, and especially with this trial work period. Let's say that they allow you to make as much as your monthly payments. That would be like, what $1,600 a month. You could put 800 of that away and you- you know, it's extra. You could- I mean, you- you have so much, and it pisses me off because I wish I could take it and be like, "You know what? I know how to use this, and I will." You know, give it to someone more deserving.
Chris:: Yeah, I wish I had your knowledge.
Kacey: I had to fight for this knowledge. Nobody helped me. That's why I'm doing this so late. You're gonna have to do it too, before it's too late. I mean, I earned my knowledge.
Chris:: Yeah... I'm gonna do it too- I'm going- I'm going to earn my knowledge. And-
Kacey: You can't have these stress days. You can't have these mental rest days. You're- You're going to have to work hard at it hard; every day, every second of your life.
Chris:: Yeah.... I get it.
Kacey: I hope you do, I really do. Because I don't want to see one of my friends fall so f- hard.
Chris:: I understand. I appreciate your concern.
Kacey: Okay. [pause] I hope I've given you a lot to think about, but I'm gonna go ahead and go. Cause I have to work and- you know, and I have homework and stuff. I'll try to call you tomorrow.
Chris:: Okay. I understand if you won't be able to. But you know-
Kacey: I'll- I'll e-mail you at least. Okay?
Chris:: Yeah, all right.
Kacey: Okay, I'll let you know if I can or not.
Chris:: And I'll- I'll google the financial aid.
Kacey: Okay, good, good. Now remember it's not- it's nothing wrong for asking for little help, but don't let people do everything for you.
Chris:: Yeah.
Kacey: Okay, bye.
