Keep your head up, i'm sure they won't let you starve. They being room/dorm mates or parents. Sorry to hear about the job, are there any jobs you don't want that you could get? I know we should always try and do what we love but sometimes when necessity strikes we have to compromise. What's wrong with the name you have now? I'm pretty horrible when it comes to picking names :/

Food's overrated anyway.
Nah, things'll turn around, I'm sure.

Looking forward to the set! Hope it gets picked up!

I'm sorry to hear that...I really hope things get much better!

Things will work out
You have a place to stay in Seattle

How did you do on your exams?

Well that's good and even better that you're happy too.

I am exactly in the same place as you.
The job market blows, and not landing the job(s) you want is discouraging as hell.

I hope you did well on your exam anyway though, and I hope things start looking up for you soon.
And good luck on your new set! I'll keep a look out for it.
