Pinterest. Now there’s a place I don’t want to go again. This internet is a little rough around the edges. For marketing’s sake, I put together a board for Stirrup Trouble. There’s too much mention of horoscopes over there. If…

In honor of our booming economy here in Brooklyn, I thought I would grace everyone with an updated copy of my resume. Anyone and everyone with half a brain would hire me to work at their place. I’ve done it all and can do it all! Devilish good looks and excellent customer service? Psh… might as well have just said “Vinny D” in that last sentence.
This is the Character Resume assignment. I did this assignment a long time ago, before I had really gotten to know Vinny D, myself. I thought, why not update it and bring him up to speed. This document was made using Microsoft word. I used an old template that I used to use for my Resumes when I first started applying for jobs. A well-organized, readable layout. The .doc was screen shotted and uploaded to Flickr.
I’d hire Vinny D for sure!
This week, a reporter came up to me because they wanted to get the full story of the romance between Sebastian Crane and myself. She said she already got some information from Sebastian, and she was going to “Storify It” (2 pts). I agreed to tell her my version of all the events that happened between us as long as it doesn’t hit the print newspapers, because both Sebastian and I work for a print newspaper and I’m not sure how that would play out. Storify is pretty easy to get the hang of. You can add text, or add media from different places on the web to create a story. It’s kind of like what I do with my blog posts, but I don’t tell the same type of narrative as she does. This story of Sebasha is a pretty accurate and complete summary of the things that have happened to Sebastian and myself in the past few weeks. There were some things I told her that Sebastian didn’t know, and now I see that there were some things Sebastian told her that I didn’t know. We will see where that leads. I like how the reporter added a lot of media from different places on the web like Flickr, Twitter, YouTube, and SoundCloud, because these primary sources give you proof that the story is not just made up by the reporter. Her words are just there to guide the reader through the different sources. It took a while for the reporter to get all the sources in the right order and make sure it made sense, but the end result was worth it. It is open ended about the future of our relationship because after all we have been through it is difficult to see a future where it works out for the two of us. However, I will keep trying at it, and hopefully the story of Sebasha will grow. Here is the Storify story that the reporter published:

“Fill this out. I’m going to need it…I think.” Bananas at Stirrup Trouble said she wanted to peek at my resume. Said I’d get a little more credit from the public if I took the time to figure it out….

For this assignment http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/how-it-all-began/ I added the history and beginning of the Black Widow Agency and added it to the History section of our website : http://blackwidow.kendallparker.com/history/. You can find how we were really created if you could not guess from the maNOIRpulators which was actually what got it started. Thankfully, I had some background in owning a business and knowing how to run one or… well you know what you can just read how we started on our website 
Web Assignment:
I need a vacation. Planning and creating this agency website has taken a toll on me. I think Ireland would be a good place to go. I still have some family there. They may be pretty distant, but they are still family. I’ve been to Ireland before and I loved it. It’s the perfect getaway from big city life. Me and Brian love being able to travel back to the lands where our ancestors grew up. So while I was working oh so hard on the Tunes Squad’s website I just happened to make an awesome Pinterest Board of my favorite vacation.
For this assignment I made a Pinterest account for my character. I then looked at many different boards that showed off the pretty places to go in Ireland. I reblogged many different things about Ireland and then embedded the link to my board into this post.
This post contains my, Shelley Layton’s, current job resume for the purpose of fulfilling the requirements of the Character Resume Web Assignment and when I happened upon the assignment I realized that I needed to update my resume anyway due to my moving to San Francisco and becoming a part of the Steadfast Sleuths. I created my resume in a Microsoft Word document and embedded the file into this blog post. Updating my resume made me realize how far I have come in the past year and I’m hoping that my career will keep heading in the positive direction it is now.

A person I keep close to me, Janaye Evans, has a Pinterest board dedicated to all the places she thinks/knows I have been…
I will just say I have not yet been to Italy, but those pins might be wishful thinking on her part for a trip she hopes to take with me..

For the Dream Vacation on Pinterest Web Assignment, I created a Pinterest board through Kayleigh’s Pinterest account detailing my dream vacation that I eventually would like to take to Japan. I first became interested in Japanese culture as I was learning the Japanese language during my time as a student at the University of London. Then when I moved out here to San Francisco, I learned much more about Japanese culture that I became interested in, the festivals, popular travel destinations, and the absurd amount of cats.
I have no particular order in which I would like to do things, but I definitely want to visit each of the places mentioned for a specific reason. Also, this could either be a trip I take alone or Sarah and Sasha could come too if they are interested. In Tokyo, I’d like to go to a cat cafe, go to hanami, also called cherry blossom viewing, and to go shopping for myself and for souvenirs for friends. In Kyoto, I would visit the Infinity Cafe and figure out which types of Japanese tea I prefer. The place I want to visit the most is Fukuoka Island, where semi-wild cats roam freely across the island and it would be so much fun to be surrounded by dozens of cats. There is also a similar island filled with rabbits called Okunoshima. To take a break from the more relaxing parts of the trip, I’m debating on visiting/investigating Aokigahara, the “suicide forest”, where multiple people enter each year and never return alive. If this venture proves to be too dangerous, I also plan to explore Hashima, an abandoned coal mining island off of the coast of Japan, which is a completely abandoned city which once held thousands of inhabitants. Finally, I would visit Kinokawa City to see Tama, the cat train station master and walk through the Wisteria Flower Tunnel at the Kawachi Fuji Garden in Kitakyushu, Japan. Of course, this vacation is still only a concept at best and will need much more thorough information before becoming a reality.
