blustockingI hate this.
I hate having no money. I hate this neverending stress which causes nausea to wash over me in waves. It was never this bad. Okay...I lied, it was....but I was living alone, I was happier being poor. This, is unbearable.
Yes, I'm a whiny cunt. Yes, there are many people out there who have it worse than me...but I don't have the luxury of being in their skin. I thought this was over. I thought it was just a bad patch, but the patch keeps getting bigger and frankly, it's pissing me off. Every day seems to be a new low.
Found out today that the check that I thought was going to be re-submitted was re-submitted a day before my paycheck automatically deposited. So now the cable check has bounced, all $71 of it, and I've incurred $40 in returned check charges. Then I called work to see how my old hard drive was coming along. Joe seems doubtful that he will be able to get Brendan's CD-R drive working, so Brendan says if it doesn't work by Monday then he'll have to back out of the deal. Understandable, but I don't have the $200 to give back to him. I might not even have the money to make my car payment now because tomorrow I have to get a new tire. I can't keep driving around on this donut, it's killing my suspension. Also forgot that I'll need a new hubcap. Not exactly important, but an expense nonetheless. Also, the cat hasn't had the shot he was supposed to have a year and a half ago. I know. I suck. Part of it is money trouble, part of it is that he's such a holy terror, they want me to tranquilize him before bringing him in.
I don't know where I'm going to get all this money. I was supposed to go to Vegas this month to see a friend. I'm supposed to go to SF early next month. I'm supposed to start school in February which I haven't enrolled for, which I can't afford, which I don't even know what I'm taking because I haven't been able to make an appointment with a counselor. I just splurged and spent $20 at the grocery store because I haven't gone in a month...why? I don't know, because it's not like I really feel like eating.
Oh and I can't get my car fixed until I can come up with the $100 deductible.
Time to sell some porn on Ebay...
The few happy things that have happened lately:
The Jeunet screenings the other night were wonderful. Jean-Pierre Jeunet is so, so wonderful. I completely adore that man. He wasn't pretentious at all, very witty, down-to-earth. FilmGuy was asking him questions in the usual, "*snort*I know SO much about film way" and Jeunet would just look at him funny and go, "No." and then kind of laugh and go on about something related to the question. At one point, FilmGuy tried to compare "Miette" and "One" to "Lenny" and "George" from 'Of Mice and Men'. I think he was on crack...or high on his own pomposity. At any rate, Jeunet is a brilliant, charming, fabulous person...but I think we all knew that.
My speakers are the coolest. They have this kickass sub-woofer that sounds so good. Right now I'm listening to the mp3's that came with the system.
On that note, more suckiness: WindowsXP blows ass-chunks, but that is not news. I'm sure it will be okay once I get more used to it...but it would seem that I fear change. I also don't need pretty colors and retarded shortcuts. It's the AOL of O/S. I also left my bookmarks on my old box...I hope I can get them back. Also, Netscape 6.2 is all that I expected...it's shit. It's just like IE 5.0. What the fuck? I only downloaded it because it seemed to be the only version compatible with WinXP. Fuckers. Ah well, t'will take some adjustment.
I feel so paralyzed.

The hell that is 2002 continues...
Date: 2002-01-12 02:35 am (UTC)By the way, Steve has a box of porn - mostly VHS but some DVD's - that I brought home from work. He was going to send them to a friend in Ohio, but I could probably give them to you to sell on Ebay instead if you want. I think they've been opened though.
Oh, and don't sweat it about Boo. While it's probably bad to wait so long (although I waited 8 months once and my cat was fine), comfort yourself knowing there are a lot of bad kitty-parents out there who have never taken their cat to the vet! You are doing much better than them! ;)

Date: 2002-01-12 04:20 am (UTC)Ahahahaha! MONEY! Bastards! I don't know who I'm calling a bastard, but dammit, it's nice to place blame. The man, yes...that's who "the bastard" is...DAMN THE MAN!
I don't want to reap money from your porn, but if you want, I can sell it for you. I know you could use some cizzash right now too. Plus, I have LOADS of porn I need to get rid of...it's just not right.
Ha. You're at work right now. :)
Wait...why am I still up? Oh that's right...ebay, porn, no money, suck.
What are you doing up??!?!?
Date: 2002-01-12 04:36 am (UTC)Let's move together! We could set up camp in a tiny town in New Mexico where our only neighbors are lizards and rocks. A place where they use corn for money and rags for clothes. A place away from the excesses of life and away from anything resembling 2002.
I won't sell the porn for myself as I would rather someone else benefit from it. If you don't want to sell it for yourself, I'll let Steve mail them to his friend. I, honestly, just want it out of our living room where it's been sitting in a box for the past three months.
Not to talk shop, but our projected for Saturday is at 321!!!! We had 213 yesterday! Wonder if it has anything to do with her recent appearances in Vegas? I've checked the graphs (or should I say written my checking the graphs) four times so far tonight - including what I'm about to write once I finish this post. Oops.
Wow
Date: 2002-01-12 02:50 pm (UTC)It's become a compulsion now. I think I need help. Wow, that's quite a jump from our usual numbers. Hmmm...

I also understand the WinXP and Netscape 6.2, for I am plaugued with them both myself. Crazy shit, huh?

Hugs for Blu.

Hugs, in many returns.
Date: 2002-01-12 02:44 pm (UTC)Wheeeeee!
I only say that because I really miss my bathtub. :(
I'm sure you understand. Why? Because you're cool like that.
I hope 2002 isn't treating you so badly m'dear. I heard a rumor you might be going to APE? Should I get all excited about that? Is it true? Tell meeeeeee! If not, I understand though...at the moment, I'm doubting whether I will have the funds.
xp is the reason i am frightened to get a new computer...
